Newsletter week of 6/16
Happy Father's Day!
Thank you all for your help on Saturday. It was a very well run meet, even ending way ahead of schedule! Thank you to the many families that did double shifts of volunteering. We had a good meet against Belwood. The final score was Oak 108, Bel 116. All results are on swimmers' individual Swimtopia accounts, the bulletin board at the pool, and as a whole file uploaded on Swimtopia. We had many improved times, lots a great close races, and many event winners. The coaches relay as well as the parent relay won!
