No Practice

We will not have practice for the following practices over Easter weekend: Friday evening on April 3, Saturday April 4, and Sunday April 5.

Quarterly Dues

The first quarter has just zoomed by.  It is time to pay for the second quarter (April, May, and June).  The fee for the quarter is $100 or pay the $40 fee for the month.

UNO Tryathlon entry form

Give it a try!  The UNO Swimming and Diving team will be putting on a mini try-athlon (get it?).  This is a super short triathlon with the intention of getting fitness folks, such as yourself, and friends of fitness folks an opportunity to participate in this great activity.  

You’ve Got Skills

Erin Sullivan is heading up a super project in conjunction with the Kroc Center and she is looking for a few volunteers.  The project is Adult Swim Lessons.  Yes, you do have the skill set to help with these lessons!  These lessons are meant for the true beginner wanting to learn how to swim.  Your comfort in the water and ability to swim make you a great candidate to help  someone.  Only two lessons are offered – 6-7 pm on  Friday April 10 and Friday April 17.  Contact Erin at <erinswim@cox.net> if you can help.  This is a great project to get your feet wet! J
