4. Speaking of SwimFest state meet, we universally received praise and thank you’s as this year’s summer state meet host!! Many, many, many thanks go out to all of our parent volunteers. We pulled off a great show, provided a superb racing environment for the swimmers, and showed Indiana Swimming that WTSC is a great place to be! Extra appreciation goes out to our meet directors- Scott Christy and Paul Hayden. Scott & Paul did a wonderful job leading our committee chairs and organizing both the little and big details. Thank you for all the time you put in for WTSC and the swimmers.
Enjoy the rest of your summer!!
