Practice Changes

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 14:48:08 -0500

Attention all FFYS Parents and Swimmers:

Unfortunately, we have lost a member of our coaching staff effective immediately. Coach John has decided to pursue other opportunities and the sudden shortage of coaches has forced us to switch things up a little bit in terms of practice times and locations. It is my hope that I will have a replacement coach in as quickly as possible and we will go back to the previous schedule as soon as we can. In the meantime, please follow the new practice schedule for the next month.
