A big THANK YOU to our affiliated Varsity Vikes swim team! Our annual Swim with the Vikes Event took place this past weekend. The kids had a blast learning swimming technique, doing some racing, and building team culture with the Vikes swimmers. Thanks to all the swimmers that came out to the event. #gobolts!

Our Silent Auction Fundraiser is still on until September 14th!
In non-Covid times, we rely mainly on hosting meets as a way to raise funds for expensive pool fees—but there have been no swim meets since early 2020. This online Silent Auction Fundraiser aims to replace some of the fundraising lost due to the pandemic.
