Happy Thanksgiving!

October 5, 2018 — Rod Barratt

Its almost Thanksgiving.. and we have a lot to be thankful for.. thankful we can 'feel' for our friends in Alberta, without being in Alberta(wink).. thankful for the fantastic group of people we get to hang out with at the pool everyday, from parents who relentlessly transport kids back and forth (and pay their swim bills!), to volunteers and coaches who make so much to happen, to the fabulous athletes who keep showing up full of energy ready to pursue excellence in spite of all the challenges they face day to day.
