CHAMPS Day 1 Recap
Congrats to all of our 10 and under swimmers on a great first day of swimming at CHAMPS! We had many awesome time drops, plenty of smiles/team spirit, and a whole lot of fun with the crew today! We are looking forward to one more great day of swimming tomorrow with the 11 and older swimmers! At the moment we sit in 8th place out of 28 teams and we've scored 156 points!
Not all the medals were ready and some people left before we could get all the ones we had passed out so I will have them at Los Panchos dinner tomorrow night. If I don't see you there, I will leave them at the pool in the ribbon box tomorrow evening for pick up next week.
**At the moment, Hank Morton is missing his Youth Medium CHAMPS shirt so if possible, please check your swimmer's bag to see if it happened to have been picked up by someone else. I also have one that was worn at the banquet but then left by the side of the pool wet. Please reach out to me so I can help get the shirts to the correct people :)

LOS PANCHOS DINNER TOMORROW- July 19 at 5:30PM
I have been in touch with Los Panchos with a rough head count for our group. Originally the plan was to go at 5pm but due to the CHAMPS timeline being later, I pushed it back. You are welcome to go earlier if you would like. They said they can accommodate but might have to scatter by groups over a few spaces in the restaurant. The reservation is under my name for the 65 people that RSVP'd. We look forward to eating dinner with you all and celebrating the season tomorrow!
GO CROCS!
Sincerely,
Coach Lauren
