Coach Dave with the news
-----------------------------------------
Hope you all had a restful and enjoyable holiday. Practice tommorrow morning (SAT AM 27th) and likely for now is at Sakamoto pool. Pukalani is a balmy 73 degrees ( a little too cold even for a Maui Polar Bear Swimmer)

Hope to see you in the morning
Thanks for making coaching such a blast!!!!
