Thanks for a great season – See you in the September!!
It was a champs like no other! On a beautiful day at the IVC Pool in Novato the Seals showed up strong and swam their tails off, finishing a fantastic fourth in the league! All Seals should be proud of themselves for a great showing!
Also, our caps off to Coach Anna for doing so well at her first Champs as head coach! We couldn't have done it without her. Thanks must also be given not only to all the Seals volunteers who worked tirelessly to run this fantastic event, but to our fearless leaders, Marjorie Went and Ron Chan. They pulled off the best Champs ever and made it look easy! We have extra programs- if you are interested in a souvenir, they are at the pool in the glass case.
The delicious awards banquet, in it's new, short format, was a huge success and all swimmers loved getting recognized by their contributions to the team.
