Franktown Open Hearts
For those of you who have been with us for a while, you know how much we value our partnership with Franktown Open Hearts. This local non-profit is dedicated to providing after school programing for children in the greater Franklin community who might otherwise not have these opportunities. Every year, we participate in providing both swimming lessons in the summer and gifts during the Christmas season.
Well this year, we have a unique opportunity to donate a one-time gift through the proceeds of a silent auction. Olympian Caleb Dressel has donated three of his suits that he wore at the 2024 Olympic Trials. All three suits are men's Speedo LZR Intent size 23. He wore each suit for one race but we don't know which events go with which suit.
Beginning this week, we will be offering these suits for auction, you will be able to place your bids through our website and we will award one suit to each of the three highest bidders. Please watch your emails this weekend for directions.

Want to become an official?
All of our parent volunteers play a vital role in hosting meets. We simply could not host meets in your absence. While most jobs take little training or experience, meet officials go through an educational and training process that enables them to help officiate at all meets. In fact, our own Excel officials have outnumbered the host team officials in both our first two meets. We are very grateful to our officiating crew but are always looking for new members.
