Before getting into the season wrap up, I wanted to send a few big THANK YOUS:

• THANK YOU to everyone who volunteered throughout the season and to especially to those who volunteered over and over, far exceeding the minimum requirement, you are so appreciated!
• THANK YOU to Christine Fritz and Chris Rotunda for spearheading our Pep Rallies and Concessions! And to Mark Sorenson for volunteering as team photographer!
• THANK YOU to everyone that stepped up to help make Divisionals a success, regardless of whether your kids were swimming!
• THANK YOU to our amazing coaching staff for pouring so much into our kids, helping to shape them not only into better swimmers but into better people!
• THANK YOU to everyone for your generosity! I think I speak for all 3 of us when I say we were blown away by our gifts!

Champions Shirts

NOW, [queue Queen....] WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, MY FRIENDS.... OUR FOREST HILL FROGS HAVE DONE IT AGAIN!!! We have been Virtually the Best, Undefeated Champions, THREE-PEAT Champs, and now just call us the FOUR TIME FOUR-EST HILL FROGS BECAUSE WE DID IT AGAIN!!!! WAY TO GO FROGS!!! ALL 222 OF YOU SHOULD BE PROUD!! And yes, there's a shirt for that... https://www.customink.com/fundraising/forest-hill-... (sale closes August 5, available in youth and adult sizes)

Divisional Results

Not only did we win the Division 1 regular season, our swimmers scored more points...or should I say "won more Gold Medals"... during the Championship meet than any other! (unofficial results, of course...this meet isn't technically scored, but perks of running the meet is we can see the score) Also, I want to congratulate all of our parents, coaches and swimmers for their behavior outside of races: our swimmers really do ACT LIKE CHAMPIONS - I see more displays of sportsmanship from our swimmers regardless of age group and it really makes me happy.

We do still have a few shirts and hoodies left from Divisionals if anyone still wants one.

Volunteer Raffle Winners

One of our parents, Mark Sorenson, took thousands of photos of our swimmers in action and has them posted on our website. You do need to login to see these.

Ribbons/Awards

Please check the ribbon box in the clubhouse hallway! It is OVERFLOWING with ribbons and EOY awards! We will be taking it home to clean out when the season ends. Divisional Trophies and ribbons are upstairs, please ask the Manager on Duty to let you in if the door is locked. There will be more Personal Best/Best Time ribbons added, so even if you checked recently, check again!

Speaking of awards, everyone go check out the upstairs...we have some pretty awesome hardware on display thanks to Ty!!!
