This year Lanette and Mark challenged Age Group, Junior Varsity, Varsity and Senior swimmers to acheive 75% participation for the Swim a Thon.  The deal was that Mark wouldn't shave or cut his hair until after all the money was collected and if the kids met their goals, then they would get to choose how he looked for an entire week.  Well, as you can tell from the pictures they met, and exceeded the goal the coaches set for them.  They actually acheived 80% participation this year.  Mark held up...

  The Fishers Mudsock Classic was a first for the CSP Tideriders, and from the results of this meet, it looks as if it won’t be the last.  What a great meet to start off the New Year with for the Tideriders.  As a team, we finished in third place, only behind the host team and another team from Indiana.  Luke Sloan and Lydia Welty both won High Point awards for the Open age group, and the ice cream social that the parents held for the swimmers at the hotel...
