Hi Marlins,
Thank you for the nice gift. If you have a few minutes, please take a short survey about the season. It helps us to plan for next season. Please be honest! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JPG6L3B We are looking for a volunteer coordinator, concession co-manager, and webmaster for next year. Thank you for everyone helping out this season. Stay Calm and swim On! Thanks, Annie

Hi Marlins,
Wow! Saturday I was so impressed with everyone’s cheering and team spirit. Swimmers had 120 improved times so great job. We didn’t win but we had fun. Berrywood Marlins are about having fun, swimming hard, and being good teammates. Thanks for everyone efforts! This next Saturday (7/22) is our last dual meet against Oakleigh Forest. Please declare your swimmer’s availability by Tuesday evening. It will be a close meet so we need available swimmers to pull off a win. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZgudgKLzEtRUU3MNmmeJgaEuuBbFPadggwqwtbl60H0/edit?usp=sharing

Sunday (16th)- Middle School Glow in Dark practice from 8-9pm Check out the calendar online if you want more information: www.berrywoodswimteam.weebly.org I lived in Hawaii for 5 years and one thing I love about it is how everyone takes care of their “Ohana” family.
