Congrats to the STING swimmers for winning Saturday's swim meet. A huge thank you to all the parents who volunteered and especially the teen swimmer's who helped out in the bullpen. The meet wouldn't have run so smoothly without you!

The final swim meet of the season is the YMCA Championship on Sunday, February 25, at the GA Tech Aquatics Center. This meet brings together swimmers from all the Metro Atlanta YMCA facilities and is open to ALL. The swimmers get to swim in the same pool which was used for the 1996 Olympics. Regardless of your swimmer's ability, it is a great environment to swim in and a fun experience.
