All interested can bring their gloves and weeding tools and show Barb and her family that we are with them and are MAC Strong. Address details to come!

Lakeside Masters Invitational: This invitational will be held and August 4 and 5 and is a 2-day meet. Lakeside is located in Louisville, KY within the Highlands. The facility is a converted rock quarry that holds 3.2 million gallons of chlorinated water and contains an eight lane 50 meter course as well as a six land 25 yard course used as a warmup/warmdown area. This truly is a unique swimming and competition pool. I strongly recommend you add this meet/pool to your swimming bucket list!
