UPDATE

There will be no practice today! The pool will reopen tomorrow morning!

Monday, August 29, 2011

Practice this morning is cancelled because the facility doesn't have power. If you have facebook they are updating on the victory YMCA page on there. As soon as they get power they need two hours to inspect the facility. I'm not sure if afternoon practice is cancelled yet. I hope everyone survived the hurricane with no damage. Enjoy your day
