New News!
Great job racing against the Shenandoah Sharks! With our win on Tuesday night, we've clinched the title of Division A Regular Season Champs! What I am most proud of is the teamwork it took to get there by racing each other in practices, cheering each other on and bringing the Makos spirit. We're not finished yet, as our meet on Monday night will be the closest one of the season. If your swimmer is able to attend the meet, please plan to have them come help the team continue our undefeated season.
If you are joining the Makos in the Brandermill parade, please plan to do the approximately 2 mile route by walking or scootering. You should bring a water bottle, sunscreen, individually wrapped candy to pass out along the parade route and your best Makos x America gear! We will meet at Swift Creek Middle School at 9:30 for the start of the parade and will walk to Sunday Park. Parents and other family members are welcome to join us on the parade.
We have 72 swimmers already qualified for our RMAL Championship Meet in July! This is awesome! The list of qualified swimmers at this point in the season are below. If your swimmer has qualified and is UNABLE to attend, please email Coach Carrie to let her know that they will not be attending Champs since planning entries has already begun. More specific information about Champs will be emailed out soon to parents and swimmers.

Important Info!
- Caps are optional for practice but are required at the swim meets. At practices, if they choose to wear one, your swimmer must be in a Makos cap, as that is a part of being on the team. At meets all swimmers need to be in a Makos cap since it is a part of the team uniform.
- During practices, please refrain from chatting with the coaches. The primary job of the coach during that time is supervising what is happening in the pool, so their attention needs to be on the swimmers they are working with. Also, it is helpful if you leave a few feet around the edge of the pool so that coaches have room to walk around the pool. Thank you for helping our coaches stay focused on the swimmers during practices!
