Swim Team 2021 - Week 4
Piranha Parents
We have a busy week ahead of us. THANK YOU for everyone that came out and volunteered!
A Meet ReCap: Piranhas Win, Piranhas Win Piranhas Win !!!
Congratulations to your MHC Piranhas - Coach Joel and Coach Paul.
Today we had the Penny Dive at the end of each practice. Swimmers dove for pennies and exchange their findings for candy. Its was also Donut Day!!! Thank you to Jennifer McDonald, Alicia Boyce and Carole Keane for helping out with the day's activities.
Did you know that the ladders are posted on swimtopia. Shortly after each Meet you can find the results attached to the Meet on the SignUp Calendar. Also, another way to get your swimmer's time is to download the Swimtopia App and have everything at your fingertips. You can also sign up for meets and to volunteer for jobs from the app. Give it a try and sign your swimmer's availability up for meets for the rest of the summer.

Afternoon Practices have begun. Tuesday – Friday 5:00 – 6:00 PM Weather Permitting
*Happy Hours
Happy Hours will be held (weather permitting) on the Friday before each away meet. Going to try something new this year. Happy Hour will be a few hours in length for families to meet at the pool, socialize and have your cars decorated for the weekend's meet. Older swimmers will assist younger swimmers to decorate windows, write names, attach ribbons to make our caravan more decorative for entering into our opponent's pool and neighborhood. Historically this has been done Saturday mornings while waiting in line to leave MHC. But, with most of us running around Saturday mornings trying to get to MHC in enough time to check in and roll out, has been stressful enough, so we'll do it the night before.
That's about it - See You At The Pool!
