Message from Claire Lukens - - - I'm a fellow swim parent and late-to-the-sport masters swimmer. I live in the South Park area and my kids swim for Foxcroft East Gators & swimMAC. I'm reaching out about a new type of swim league coming to Charlotte this summer: Grown Up Swimming is a nationwide sought-after swim league for adults that appeals to many different folks.

• It's for grown up swimmers to tap into the nostalgia of their swimming as a kid.
• It's for parents to take a break from chasing after their kids' activities to focus on themselves for a little bit.
• It's for adults who want a sporty, social, fun activity for summer evenings.
• The meets are low-pressure, fun and social. All levels of speed and fitness are welcome.

Do you think your members would like to participate? Do you have parents or coaches who get REALLY into the coach/parent relays? Lap swimmers or empty nesters who love swimming and hanging at the pool? I think the GCSL League needs at least one team per division this summer! https://www.grownupswimming.com/form-a-team The Meet Details: July 10 - Sept 4th
