Congratulations to you all for winning the Spirit Award AGAIN!!! That's twice in the same year for cryin' out loud! The parents did an amazing job orchestrating that project and I really believe it helped the kids swim faster. Our team finished 10th with only 24 swimmers. This is a great achievement given our size. We finish ahead of other teams with much larger population bases. I want to congratulate US for being a real team that LIKES TO SWIM RELAYS, and is PROUD to be part of AQUASOL. We keep getting better and I'm sure we will be moving up the ranks soon. GREAT JOB orange people!!
