Well, once it finally stopped raining, last night was fantastic! Our swimmers did a great job, our parents did a great job, our guards and the Rec staff did a great job, and I feel safe in saying that everyone had a great time! Start to finish was just over two and a half hours, and I was incredibly proud of everyone. Many parents from McDowell approached the coaches and workers to let us know how much fun they had. Way to go Torpedo Family!
As far as the competition went, we had a final score of 666.5 to 399.5 over McDowell. We had 23 different swimmers claim first in different events, with many claiming multiple firsts. Many others finished high up in the ranks. We had a slew of best times, and our first time swimmers did a fantastic job, too.
The VTST 8&Under, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, and 15-18 Girls Medley Relays
all claimed victory. For the Boys, the 11-12, 13-14, and 15-18 Medley
Relays claimed victory. In the freestyle relays, the 8 and Under girls
and boys, 11-12 boys, 13-14 girls and boys, and 15-18 boys and girls

Our next meet will be on Thursday at Granite Falls. Directions will be posted later this week, but swimmers need to sign up by TUESDAY EVENING at the latest. If they are not signed up by then, they will not be entered.
Many of you have signed up for our text reminders. That's fantastic! Please encourage others to sign up so they can stay in touch when we have reminders sent out, such as the one this morning informing you all that the coaching staff wants to wish everyone a Happy Father's Day weekend by deciding there will NOT BE ANY PRACTICE TODAY. I know I will enjoy it as it is my first Father's Day with my daughter, Ginny. I hope all of you enjoy it, too!
We will see you back at the pool on Monday morning! Have a great weekend, and thanks again for a fantastic meet last night!
