09/02/2026  Labor Day Weekend

This is a reminder that we will have practice at Idle Hour this Saturday and Monday from 9:30-11:00am. Monday's practice is free for everyone.

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!

08/11/2026  End of Summer

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).

See you at the pool,

Dan
