Parents, What a fun and vibrant 4th of July meet this year, and the best turn out we have had in a while during the week of the 4th. Another amazing sign to welcome our swimmers and parents to the pool this week. Thank you to the parents that pitched in to set that up. If you are interested in donating to the last sign for the home meet please contact Blair Barnes at BlairBarnes0130@gmail.com or just find her at practice.  Our swimmers made some fun signs that really showed great team spirit for everyone to enjoy, and the fun themed accessories for the 4th really seemed to get everyone amped up for our countries independence! Go USA! With the talent our team has, Stonebridge didn’t stand a chance!
