Noteworthy: The postal was cancelled today after practices were cancelled due to inclement weather (when Huron Valley Schools closes, practices are cancelled). We do not have a makeup date but are working on several possibilities. We will let you know as soon as a decision is made.
Important schedule changes for the week of February 12-16th: The P.E. classes at Milford High School will again be using the pool during this week. Rather than changing all morning practices to Lakeland for the week, we have decided to offer a different approach. We will offer stroke filming on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday during normal practice times. Attached is a link to Sign Up Genius where anyone interested can sign up for 1, 10-minute slot. During this time you will be filmed on 2 strokes of your choice after which a coach will view the film and evaluate each stroke. These filming sessions will be in lieu of regularly scheduled practice. If interested sign up via the attached link:

Wednesday morning practice, February 14, will be a special dryland workout at the pool.
Note that the changes for practices during next week (Feb.12-16) only affect morning practices. P.M. practices will remain as scheduled. Friday morning practice will also remain as scheduled.

On a Personal Note: Congratulations to all who competed in the FAST Brighton Meet over the weekend! We saw some fantastic swims, personal best times, and several personal goals set and/or achieved. It is wonderful as a coach to watch someone work so hard on a skill or learn a new technique and then see that swimmer perform and succeed! That is why I love coaching! #BAN
