Check out pictures that Caisy Ho, our Live Action Swim photographer, has taken at swim meets over the past few weekends. The gallery is available at his website, but it is password protected. The password is located in the email sent out each week announcing the weekly newsletter availability, or ask a coach or parent at practice. Click to see Meet Photos and for Information on Ordering. Caisy is available at most swim meets to photograph your swimmer, and when you use his services, about $5 goes to support the H2okie swim team.
Virginia Tech Swim Camp registration has opened for their stroke camp, held June 20-24, and their sprint camp, held July 18-21. Both camps will be held at War Memorial.
