Tis the season for giving to the St. Vincent de Paul Free Dining Room. Your donation will feed people in need especially in this time of rising food costs and reduced SNAP benefits. In honor of Shannon Pedder’s late brother, Brendan, Shannon’s goal is to raise $150,000 within her community, in Brendan’s name. This organization was near and dear to Brendan’s heart. He would spend a lot of his time volunteering in the Free Dining Room. Your donation is greatly appreciated. In order to easier tally the Manatee’s donation, please drop off a check made payable to SVdeP Free Dining Room, to the coach on deck. Thank you!

An epic 60-mile swim in Tahoe was training for a much, much bigger goal.

Hey Manatees,

Please take some time this week to say thank you to our awesome coaches:
• Who are on deck before sunrise
• Who withstand all kinds of weather on deck
• Who plan workouts great (and sometimes killer) workouts with us in mind
• Who always motivate and cheer us on
Thank you to Claire, Tryn, Noah, Juli and Brisa for being the best coaching crew around!

LAST CALL: Spring Nationals entry closes April 3

Embrace racing in practice and get ready for spring meets...

One of the most important things I’ve learned is that you must practice racing. It’s important to use the starting blocks on a regular basis and perform turns at race speed.

Happy New Year! We have the magic elixir!

Swimmers have a secret weapon to help stave off the worst of winter: swimming itself. Exercise is one of the best ways to keep your immune system running at full tilt and primed to fight off any pathogens you may encounter.
