THE BEAR BULLETIN 18 MAY 2014

WOW! Bears, you really blew those Flying Fish out

of the water! Great job! We will get back to work this week in practice trying to get better and faster! There still seem to be some people that did not know where they were supposed to be for their freestyle relays at the end of the meet. We had our relay board behind our tent, but I saw very few people actually come and check it. Please remember to check the board, as MOST of our relays did change this past weekend. Don't forget we have stroke clinics this week for people that want some extra help. Payment must be turned in before your swimmer can attend the clinic. Let's get ready to beat those Kingfish!!! See you at the pool. Coach Emily
