I am pleased to announce that the kids have raised over $1800 bagging groceries at Winn Dixie. This money will go towards a new record board. As older swimmers look to the excitement of setting records, younger swimmers look to crush those records to bits. This board is more than a record board. It is a hint of progress. It is this teams desire to push beyond a mediocre club.
I am so pleased to be a part of this great effort. Although the numbers have cooled down with the temperature we are still looking forward and still planning for spring and summer. Please continue to support the club in these next few months as we go through some cold fronts. Without consistency it is hard to achieve our desired results. Both pools have promised to try their best to maintain a 79-80 degree temperature. I will heat them up from there :)
Congratulations to this club for an outstanding job raising this money for your board. Without the help of the community, the swimmers, and the parents none of this could be possible. I thank you all.
Please look ahead next year as we are planning a Swim-A-Thon in March to hopefully nudge us along further.

Wow...great effort! It seems to me that raising money for swimming is still a hard thing (despite a guy called Michael Phelps).
Investing it in a record board is a great idea. My new club team has one at their pool. And I see that the young swimmers look at it every time before they go to deck and start their workout. Just as if they go and get some extra motivation to give it all that day to put their name on that board as soon as possible.
