This year has been particularly exciting for Bear. Stellar High School performances, big improvements in all groups. Change has been a constant with New Schools, Growth including New strength and the introduction of "Open Water" Swimming. Bear has always had an Open Water Coach(Used to be Rick Arneson). A Bear Swimmer attempted the English Channel Swim at 12 years old (dnf) ,and came back 10 years later to complete it. The Kellar cove race is Saturday morning and we could use help cleaning up the Beach for the event from 5-6 pm on Friday. I will be representing Bear in the 2 mile. Thank you
