SPAGHETTI DINNER FUNDRAISER posted 01/09/2012

February 7th at St. Thomas Aquinas cafeteria. If you need additional tickets please ask Chet. I would encourage everyone to participate, as this is our only fundraiser of the winter. Mark it on your calendar because there will be no practice that day, in anticipation of a huge turn out for our spaghetti dinner. Don’t forget if you sell all of your tickets by Jan. 23. and turn in your money you get to get a team towel, so sell them fast. Nothing like a great spaghetti dinner.

SWIMMING PRACTICE EQUIPMENT posted 09/19/2011

Every practice we will be using kickboards and pull buoys. The YMCA has all of this equipment. However Heritage has limited supplies, due to our high school girls swimming right now. We will also be using fins at practice. It is recommended that you bring your own gear to practice, because there are limited supplies of fins at both pools. www.different-strokes.com There is a quick connect on the website for different strokes, or any swim store will have this equipment.
