Potomac Raiders Swim Club and CSM swim clinics: We urge all of you to consider swimming during the school year with the Potomac Raiders Swim Club at CSM.  The Potomac Raiders Swim Club web site is http://raiderswimming.org/ .  CSM also offers a competitive swim clinic (non-credit, continuing education course) for those swimmers who want to improve their strokes and conditioning to keep their swimming edge during the school year.  You can find information on the CSM web site about the clinics.  The CSM swim clinics are usually run by and coached by the Potomac Raiders coaching staff.

From Wanda & Sue:  "A heartfelt 'Thank-You' from us for your kind recognition and generous gift cards.  We feel strongly that everyone involved in any role supporting this special team is just as important!  We could not do what we do if it wasn't for the fabulous families of the Smallwood Marlins encouraging the team in every way!  The swimmers are Awesome, the coaches are Fantastic and the morale from all is Invigorating!  We hope everyone has a fun rest of the Summer and a restful off-season; see you in 2009!"
