Heat Lightening Meet was a fun event for all who attended.  It seems that since January, all of our meets have been high intensity and high stress level for the coaches and swimmers.  It was nice to have a meet where the kids could just focus on racing fast and having fun.  Those swimmers who had yet to leave for Spring Break had a blast this past weekend. Anna Scott Baur won the High Point Award for the 10 & Under Girls, Aaron Garner won for the 13 – 14...

Another Division I Championship has come and gone, and CSP Tideriders are once again on top.  Typical of the winter we have had this year, the weather came in to play again on Sunday of this meet.  The force that our team showed on Sunday, showed the commitment our coaches, families and swimmers have.  A key to Sunday was being able to field all of our relays.  In fact all weekend long, we did not lose one relay to DQ.  This is an important factor when you realize that relays...
