Good afternoon Flyers Families,

I hope you all had a great week! We certainly did here at the pool. The swimmers have been working hard, showing up with great attitudes, and continuing to make progress—individually and as a team.

Coach Shradha and Coach Keisha have been wonderful keeping our rhythm strong and our swimmers focused. And I want to give a special shout-out to Coach Urja, who is a familiar face to many of you and has graciously joined us for the month of December. Her help means so much, and we are incredibly grateful to have her with us during this busy season. Please know your swimmers are supported, coached, and cared for every step of the way.

Below are some important updates as we move into the next couple of weeks:

Thank you, as always, for sharing your children with us and supporting the Forsyth Flyers.

They are doing great things, and we are proud of each and every one of them.

If you have any questions, please reach out anytime.

Go Flyers,
