Parents,

We would like to take a second and thank each one of you for coming and staying through the past two, less than stellar, meets. They have been a rough pair of nights and luckily this one turned out better than our last.

We are so grateful that we have y'all as parents on this team. The past two weeks, our friendly opponents have been plagued by swimmers and volunteers going home and not braving the elements. They left their teams hanging and definitely cost them points.That is not the case however with our incredible Stingray family. We huddled together under tents, in cars, and under the nearest person's umbrella through our weather breaks tonight and toughed it out til the very end. Without this dedication to your kids, this team would not be the same.

As always, we strive to get your swimmer in the pool to race as many times as possible and that can only be done with your generosity to volunteer, commitment to getting your kids to meets and practices, and encouragement of your kids regardless of their performance. Danielle and I have said it time and time again to each other, but WE HAVE THE BEST TEAM OUT THERE. We may not be the fastest, but we are one of the closest, most tightly knit teams in the league and we would have it no other way.

Thank y'all for all that you do and see you tomorrow,

Coach Danielle and Coach Thomas
