Welcome to the 2010 Swim Team
Season
28 Feb 2010: Given the winter that we have had, I am
sure everyone is happy to hear that the 2010 Swim Team
season is here! Although practices and meets are
still a few months away, the planning and administration
of "summer swim" starts now! We welcome the 2010 season
with several changes (a new coach, a new division and a
new lead team rep, to name a few), but with the same
amount of enthusiasm and effort. |

Potomac Valley Swim Program
How do those Saturday swimmers get so
fast? Most of them are members of year-round swim teams
and they practice throughout the fall, winter, and
spring with their club teams. We are very fortunate to
live in one of the best regions in the country for
year-round swimming. We have swimmers who compete for
some of the top-rated teams in the entire country,
including Curl-Burke Swim Club, The Fish, Machine
Aquatics, Mason Makos, Potomac Marlins, and York Swim
Club. These clubs offer programs for many different
abilities and different levels of commitment. Please
feel free to contact Coach Billy McDonald at
703-895-9384 to discuss options for your swimmers
if they wish to pursue winter swimming. Or check out the
Potomac Valley website @
www.pvswim.org. It’s the only way to get faster! |
