Note:  The following corrections have already been made to this notice:
1.  Changed Fall Session days from Monday, Tuesday, and Thrusday to Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, with water polo on Wednesday.  This is not finalized yet, but this is what I am trying to work in with our basketball gym rentals.
2.  Beginning lessons for August are at 1:30 to 2:00; and the Competitive Stroke Classes are 2:00 too 2:30.  There were several conflicting times and I hope the attachment is no correct.
3.  The August Stroke and Turn Club is 3:00-4:00, NOT 2:00 to 2:30.
4.  The last August water polo game is on 8/28, not 8/27.

Seahawks:  Finally, some August information.  It's a bit confusing, but I've put together classes that work on specifics to give a different emphasis for preseason and allow the swimmers to keep some of the conditioning they've worked so hard to get.  All the classes are $40 (first swimmer), except for the Sprinters Club which runs three weeks at $55.  If you take two classes, the third class (or the least expensive class) is 1/2 off.

Except for water polo this Thu. Aug 5, we have no swimming this week.  Check the programs below (or print out the attached) and let me know if you have any questions. 

The fall session begins after Labor Day and will probably be Mon., Wed., and Thurs., with water polo on Wednesday.  I can't promise anything but hope to have that out by the end of this week.

Thanks again for a great summer.  God has given us some wonderful families to fellowship with and that makes all the difference. 

Matt

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all our iniquities; Who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit; Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; Who satisfies your years with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle. -Psalm 103:1-5
