Hello all Challenger 2 Families: Is Spring here for good?? As discused with the swimmers yesterday, we are 1 week and 1 day into the quest for Summer Age Group Championships. We had some great practices the last couple of days as we learn how to push themselves into another level.

The following swimmers did a best time in every event they swam: Luca Adamo Lea Lovell Miriam Moisan The following swimmers did...
