Final Week! Coaches Gift, End of City Party, All City Championship
August 2nd
Barracuda Nation!
Hard to believe we're in the final week of the season! Fortunately, a bit more fun is in store for everyone this week.
A few quick reminders of upcoming events:
- Coaches Gift. We're amazed at the generosity — we're lucky to have six awesome coaches. Please donate to the coaches gift fund today if you haven't yet had a chance to contribute: Venmo (@Karen-Bombino), PayPal ([email protected], no “n” in Karen), or see the coaches gift page for other ways to contribute. Thanks to everyone who has already contributed for your generosity.
- End of Season Party. Thanks for the great response — looking forward to seeing most of the team at the party on Wednesday, 6–9pm at the Blue Ridge Pool. Please RSVP if you haven't already, so we can order the right amount of food. And sign up to bring a dessert, if you're inspired, or help with clean-up.
- Season Photo Gallery. Love the photo submissions! If you have some awesome photos or videos to share from throughout the season, please add them to the Google Photo Album to help with our end of season slideshow compilation.
- Practice. Our final two practices are Monday and Tuesday, 9–10am, for All City qualifiers and alternates.
- Team Photos. A reminder that individual and team photos are available for purchase and download from Red Fish Blue Fish. Head on over to the photo gallery to view and purchase pictures.
- All City Championship. The final post-season meet of the season is the All City Championship on Tuesday, August 4th at 4:00pm, hosted by Arbor Heights Swim & Tennis Club in West Seattle. All City swimmers (including alternates) should have received a detailed meet information email a few days ago — let us know if you didn't. If you're interested in watching the fastest swimmers in the city and cheering on the Barracudas, please join us at Arbor Heights on Tuesday afternoon — it will be an awesome meet! The parade of athletes is at 3:40pm, and the first races (including two Barracuda swim-offs — go Olivia and Evan!) start at 4pm.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the end of season celebration, and congrats again to our All City finalists!
Go Barracudas!
