Warmer weather is right around the corner, which means that another year of Park Crossing Swim Team is almost here! We are so excited to have a swim season this summer and look forward to seeing many of our PC Dolphins back in the pool.
Brittany Grady and Vibecke Cates will continue to be the Co-Presidents of the Park Crossing Swim Team this year with Emily Druhan and Natalie Osman also on the swim team board as our League Representatives.
