Congratulations to our Co-Swimmers of the Week:
Aggie Gullace & Olivia Cole!!
Aggie & Olivia both swam in their very first meet this past weekend at CBAC, and swam GREAT! Olivia even managed to swim her way into the "Last Chance" State Qualifier meet with two "BB" time standards. Both young ladies looked like they'd been racing for years, showing good poise and executing their races flawlessly. CONGRATULATIONS to both Aggie & Olivia, keep up the good work!
