Bringing back old traditions with the Newport Wahoos pre-SENECY champs pasta dinner and Senior Night, celebrating Bella Barber, Lila DiMatteo, Ella Gilpin, and Avary Serpa. See comments below for Senior tunnel videos. Many thanks to our parent volunteers and Boosters Board for organizing. WAHOO!🎉 💙🧡🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️

I didn't do a great job taking pictures from this weekend, but luckily the parents all have me covered!!

What an amazing weekend at the Bob McDowell Thanksgiving Invite!! The team spirit and energy really resulted in some fast swimming and amazing memories (and maybe a couple pool deck naps)!!

Thank you to the Wilton YMCA for hosting us again and to all the parents who worked hard to make this a trip for the books!! This was one of the biggest teams we have sent to this meet and I hope to continue growing this tradition! Thank you to all the parents for organizing team events and driving the kids to the meet to make this all possible!!

Ready to get Day 1 started at Wilton!! Let's go Wahoos!!
