A large lollipop-shaped tree grows in a grassy area on the
southwest corner of the Palm Springs pool facility. For each of the last few years, DART has
claimed this tree and the shade it provides, for three days in November. The Agua Caliente meet is one you won’t want
to miss. Why?
- The Piranha team has been hosting this meet for decades and really knows what they're doing … best run meet we will see all year, opinion mine. Food, music, vendors and more, provided by a wonderful host.
- It’s the only travel meet on the schedule that can fully accommodate all DART practice groups. They have 25-yard events for the 5-6 age group. Yes, they have a 5-6 age group. On the other end of the spectrum, southern California has some fast swimmers who can challenge DART’s best. Every swimmer will have someone with equal ability to race.
- Palm Springs in November … great weather … great destination … great fun … Bill’s Pizza.
Perhaps
the best reason you should attend has nothing to do with the host, the meet or the
location. This meet promotes camaraderie
like no other … by far. Coaches,
swimmers and families group around that tree. For three days, swimming stops being an
individual sport, DART gels as a family, friendships form and teammates bond. The social aspects of our team takes root to
the point DART parents will find themselves gathered at
the end of a lane, cheering a swimmer they didn't know two days earlier. How could you not befriend someone who does
that? Signup deadline is this Sunday, October 20th.
Last year, we met Marilyn ...
Bill’s
Pizza? You’ll just have to ask someone who
went last year (especially the swimmers).
