Aberdeen Penguins Swim Team

Here’s a note form the coaches: If you want to add it

Dear Swimmers and Families,

What a way to kick off the season. Nothing like summer swim that feels more like a snow day. Thank you for showing up with big energy and bigger towels. We know it wasn’t exactly sunscreen weather.

Mother Nature clearly missed the memo that it’s summer, not sweater season, so today’s practice is canceled while she figures it out. Thanks so much for your patience.

We’re hoping for warmer weather by Thursday or Friday so we can finally celebrate with our Welcome Ice Cream Social. Because if we can’t count on the sun, we can at least count on sprinkles.

See you soon,
Your Coaching Team 🏊‍♀️🍦💙
