The cut-off date for ordering warm-ups, swim suits and t-shirts is Saturday, October 3rd.

The first Scrip order of the year will be placed on Friday, October 2nd. If you're going to the Lynchburg meet, think about where you're going to stay and eat. How about soccer tournaments? Football game weekends? Every Sunday between church and swim practice? What are you doing? There's probably a scrip card that would make your busy life easier and help our team. Get scrip information under the Fundraising Page of our website. Orders are done on the 2nd and 16th of every month. Call or email Brenda Whitesell with any questions.
We have been listeing to your suggestions, and though some changes can take quite some time to implement, we are working on improving this site every week. You may be asking yourself how you can keep up with all the new information that has been added to our team website over the past few weeks, and that is why we have created the What's New Page. Whenever we make a major change or add new information to our website, we will update the What's New Page so you only have to look at one place to see what new information or feature has been added to our website.
Thank you to every person that has offered suggestions to improve our website. Keep them coming, and do not be discouraged if you have made a suggestion and you have not seen any change yet. Sometimes it can take several weeks to make even relatively minor changes. We appreciate your input.
