It has been a team effort, and I thank everyone for their part throughout the season. As we conclude our season with championships, the following swimmers, by their times, have been chosen to represent the Tsumani Team.

Please make sure that those who have qualified know which races they will be swimming in (see attachm't). Relays are subject to change; also some swimmers may be used as alternates in relays.More info on Championships to follow. Practice for this week will be for all team members (Thurs, Fri) , however, starting Monday 2/26, practice will be only for those going to trials. (see email of practice schedule for remainder of season).
