EVERY POINT COUNTS!

That was our battle cry this week when we started to prepare for our swim meet versus the Seals Swim Club. I knew it would be a close meet, but who would of known that it would come down to 14 points. This meet was a nail biter that went down to the final two relays. I'm proud of each and every one of our swimmers. You were all part of the Bluefin body that helped to come up with a win. We need to use this weekend to help us to focus on the big picture ahead; league meet is coming and we must ready ourselves to fight there.

As our Big Tuna shirts say, "The journey of a thousand strokes begins with a single stroke." The path to being great starts with each swimmer taking the steps today to be better.
