Hello all, after three days at the 2008 Long Course Y Nationals the Wahoos are swimming strong. The team is in 7th place
combined out of 150 teams. We had an amazing finals on Thursday night as all but one swim was a best time. Friday morning prelims
were awesome and for the first time in several years, all 10 relays scored in the meet. You can see all the results on the Y National
Web site at www.ymcaswimminganddiving.org You can also see video on
the Flo Swimming web site at www.floswimming.com I am very proud of each
and every Wahoo we have at the meet. You should all be proud of our team as they have represented the Wahoos with pride,
respect and poise. Everyone who has ever been a Wahoo would be very proud of what this team had done this week both in and out of
the water. | I would also like to thank all the parents that helped time and work the meet. I have received rave reviews from the National Meet Committee for your efforts. We have one more session left which begins at 6pm tonight. We have 4 relays and KC Moss's 100 breaststroke. Wish us well. We will be leaving on Saturday morning at 9:30 and hope to be at the Wilton Y by 4PM. Please enjoy the pictures I have included in this report. See Pictures Here... Jeff Allen

to get all the directions. The first deadline is May 16. We also encourage families to purchase ads. You can sell ads
to grandparents, aunts and uncles, good neighbors and friends. All of the swimmers would enjoy seeing their photo and name

New scratch meet sign-up procedure for SuperMeets - The coaches will automatically enter all swimmers
in a meet unless they have scratched from the meet by signing up on SuperMeets by the lock date.
You will only sign-up/scratch from a meet on SuperMeets if you are
NOT ATTENDING the meet. Or if you wish to NOT ATTEND
one day of the meet, sign-up with these instructions for the coach. |
This new scratch procedure is in effect for all meets listed except the 6/14-6/15 CAMEL meet already listed with Senior 1 & 2 sign-ups entered. Remember, to review the lock date because if you do not sign-up to scratch by this date to NOT ATTEND a meet, you will automatically be signed up for the meet and charged the USS fees. Revised results from the WYW 9/U Meet are available on Meet Results

Hello Wahoos, I am sorry to say that we did not get into the Memorial Day
Meet at Rutgers. With it being an Olympic year, the meet was over
subscribed. New Jersey had two entry deadlines, one for instate teams and
one for out of state teams. Almost all of the meet was filled with New
Jersey Teams. Our hope is that we will be able to attend next year. With
that being said, we will be hosting two half day meets on Saturday and
Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. The 13/Overs will be on Saturday and the
12/Unders will be on Sunday. Saturday will be done no later than 1PM. and
Sunday no later then Noon. We will also be hosting a cook out for the teams
attending right after each session. Anyone with questions please contact Jeff. |
Meet Sign-Up is now available on SuperMeets for LC Age Group Qualifer - 6/14-6/15 for Senior 1 & 2 Please sign-up promptly. Sign-Up deadline is next Monday, April 28. Please take note: They will be working at the YMCA entrance this week 4/21 - 4/25 on Rt 7. There will be a police officer stationed there to direct and restrict the traffic flow.
