Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Whether you stayed in town or traveled far from home, we hope it was a great time with family and friends. Now it's time to get back in the water to get rid of those extra calories courtesy of pumpkin pie and all of those other wonderfully delectable, yet oh so bad for you, foods we love to eat this time of year.
Our next practice is tomorrow, December 1, from 5:30-7pm. We will be in the lanes vacated by the East Burke team after their practice (lanes 1-5).
For those who missed out last time, Coach Kidd will be once again hosting a stroke clinic (recommended donation of $20 per person) to improve freestyle. It will be Saturday, December 13, from 10:00-11:00am. Please contact her ahead of time so she knows how many she will need to plan for.
That's all for now! See you all tomorrow!

Weekend Update!
First of all, keeping in mind that our nation celebrated Veteran's Day this past week, thank you to all of you who served or continue to serve our nation. As a nation, we can't say thank you enough, and everyday should be Veteran's Day, not just one day a year.
The RTS will practice on Monday, November 17 at 5:30. Come check out the new lines!
Some have expressed interest in participating in a swim meet without all the needed memberships, USA Swimming or USMS, so Ed has explored the possibility of an "All Swimmers" meet in late March or early April, 2015 @ Valdese, perhaps sharing the meet with Linda Kidd's Xcell club. This would offer the over-50 crowd a practice meet about 1 month prior to the Senior Games meet in Lenoir. PLEASE EMAIL ED with a simple YES or NO to your desire/willingness to participate by swimming or by volunteering to aid with the meet. The more participants we have, the lower the costs of the meet.
If you are interested in joining USMS, 2015 registration is open now. Check out the USMS link on the upper right of the page for more information. There are a lot of good perks that go along with the annual membership, and it is a good value.
Enjoy your Weekend!
