Also, we are hosting a stroke analysis clinic on 10/17 at WSU. We are limiting the clinic to the first 8 people who sign up. The cost for the clinic will be $20.

We are rebooting our meet! On Sunday, October 11th come join us for the Reboot of the Dayton Area Pentathlon!
For those who don't know the pentathlon consists of the 50s of each stroke and the 100 IM. If you want a bigger challenge, there are the 100s of each stroke and the 200 IM. If you want the insane challenge, you can do 200s of each stroke and the 400 IM.
You are not required to do any of the pentathlons, but we will have special gifts for all who complete a pentathlon and special prizes for the fastest combined time in each pentathlon for each age group.
The link to sign up for the meet is Here
Please, sign up by 11:59pm on Thursday, October 8th.
If you don't want to swim in the meet, but still want to hangout with the team, we do need some people to volunteer to be timers. If you have some kids that want community service hours, then this is a job for them! I greatly appreciate any help that we can get. Please contact me if you or someone you know is interested, please signup here

After practice on Saturday, we will go out to eat at City BBQ on N Fairfield Rd. Even if you don't join us for practice, you can still join us for lunch afterwards!
As an added practice incentive, we will have a raffle drawing on Saturday and Monday at Idle Hour for some cool prizes! I will select winners before I get in the water. Sorry if you were planning on showing up 2 minutes before practice ends!

Since the kids are going back to school on Thursday, tomorrow (8/12) will be our last weekday practice at Idle Hour. We will still have Saturday practices at Idle Hour through Labor Day Weekend.
Luckily, DRAC fit us into their schedule and we will start swimming there for our weekday practices starting this Friday! DRAC is charging $40 for the rest of the month.
Speaking of monthly payments... those who paid for August at Idle Hour, I will be giving partial refunds.
Hopefully the weather holds out for tomorrow morning, but in case it does not, I recommend joining our Band if you have not done so already. DAS Band.
This up coming Sunday (16th), there is an open water swim at Caesar Creek hosted by Zoom Racing. Zoom.
On August 29th, there is a LCM meet in Avon (Cleveland). We already have a few people signed up! End of Summer Spectacular LCM Swim Meet
Also, I still have a few team T-shirts available. Please, let me know if you would like one. We also have caps available. Silicone for $10 and latex (recommended $5 donation).
