LOST AND FOUND
BIN
One of our parents has
been gracious enough to offer to bring in a tub for any items left
in the dome by our swimmers. Hopefully our swimmers will pick up
any items left behind after practices and place them in this bin.
This is not the job of our coaches! We encourage our athletes to
hang up their mesh bags on the hooks provided and not leave them
laying on the pool deck. Our goal is to keep the dome as clean and
neat as possible.
HAMPTON INN
RENAMED
Per Coach Keith, the
Hampton Inn in Oxford (513-524-0114) is now called the Miami Valley
Inn. In February, it will be called the Comfort Inn. Please make

with them.
