MENTORSHIP PROGRAM: We launched this program last year and it was a huge success! We would like to see if we can continue providing a positive impact and see our experienced swimmers share their passion and knowledge! It builds a great amount of team unity and bond between the groups and provides an opportunity to raise great leaders in our community!  Please have your swimmers look at this sign up and offer their help. We still have plenty of positions open!
