18 Aquastar swimmers participated in the TWST BB-under Meet, and improved in 82% of the events entered. Swimmer of the Meet, with 6 best times in 6 events entered, is Sam Bethancourt. Others with 100% best times are Sarah Chavez, Alison Fuller, Patrick LaBrode, Christopher Mowrey, Daniel Nagle, Tri Nguyen, Curt Seward, Brandon Steinkuehler, and Mady Walker. Alison Fuller and Christopher Mowrey earned promotions from White to Aqua. Patrick LaBrode and Curt Seward now have the times for the Gold group but still need to meet the attendance requirement.


 JULY   NEW

PARENT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED AT POOLS - A practice was cancelled due to no Parent On Deck at the pool. We must have a Parent on Deck, to answer questions, handle paperwork and checks, and assist in any emergencies, or practices will be cancelled. This is a standing team policy. It will happen again if we don't have a POD. THIS APPLIES TO ALL POOLS. If you cannot volunteer to be a parent on deck, at least walk into the pool area and make sure there is a POD before dropping off and leaving your child.  TO VOLUNTEER TO BECOME A PARENT ON DECK AT ANY POOL, AND LEARN RESPONSIBILITIES, contact  Linda Smith or Diana Dyer.
