Swim Team 2010 Is Nearly Here!

I had planned to update the Wahoos website during the school year. You know...write about all the swim meets our swimmers swam in the off season, but... Life and work and my family got in the way. But, I'm back!

Wahoos News

The Wahoo Swim Team is gearing up for another fun season. Wahoos will continue to compete in Division 2 of the CMSL with some familiar teams.

Volunteers -- Many of the same volunteers will be helping Coach Jill again this year, but we are always looking for new faces to join our swim team committee.  We are looking for a person or group that will help organize social events for our swimmers.  If you want more information please call Mary Pat Jordan at
(301) 854-5587 or e-mail MaryPatJordan@aol.com.

Registration -- Registration will take place on Sunday May 16 from 12:00-2:00pm and Friday May 21, 2010 from 4:00-6:00pm.

New Team Swim Suit -- Since we have a new team suit this year, Cy’s Swimwear will be available on both registration dates -- May 16 from 12-2 p.m. and May 21 from 4-6 p.m.
