To all Senior 2 - parents and swimmers When we begin back to training on Monday, April 27th,
the following change will take place to the Senior 2 practice schedule - FRIDAYS - will now be from 7:00 - 8:15pm -
Dryland will be in the pool area or outside from 6:15 - 7:00pm. This due to the size of the Senior 1 squad which will
make a combination practice problematic due to lane space. Any questions should be directed to Coach Todd.

Wahoo Program Fee Second Payments | Hello all. The Wahoo Program Fee SECOND PAYMENTS are coming in very slow. It is my understanding that many of you thought that when you registered in the fall with your credit card, the Y would automatically charge your card on December 1st. That is not the case. No matter what form of payment you used for the first half of the program fee, you still need to log onto the Y web site and pay the second fee. This must be done before January 1, 2009. If you have any questions, please contact Jeff Allen in the Wahoo Office or Pam and Nancy in the Y business office. Your attention is needed immediately to this matter. Thanks and have a great holiday! Jeffrey D.
