The Baylor coaching staff would like to remind our members of the importance of Summer League swimming to the growth and enhancement of our program. Every Baylor Swim Club member who participates, officiates, coaches, or attends the CASL City meet has a great opportunity to spread the word about the benefits of Baylor Swim Club and year-round swimming.
So have a blast this weekend! Be a good sport, make new friends, and spread the word about the Baylor program, the greater Chattanooga area program on the move!
The Baylor Swim Cub practice groups will be going to see a movie- Minions: The Rise of Gru at 12:15 PM at the AMC Majestic 12 Downtown Theater on Tuesday, July 12th.
