SwimRI

On Nov. 23rd SwimRI held its 3rd Annual "Stuffies v. Steamers" Intra-Squad Dual Meet at Providence College and post-meet team social outing. The meet was tied going into the final event, and for the second year in a row the outcome hinged on the last, "surprise" relay. The Stuffies ultimately prevailed, bouncing back from last year's defeat and taking a 2-1 series lead. View the results here and see photos from this and other team events on the SwimRI Facebook page. Captains Trent and Doug are already brainstorming new twists for next year's smackdown. Mark your calendars now for the Saturday before Thanksgiving!

Our 3rd annual SwimRI intra-squad dual meet on Nov. 22nd at Providence College is a rubber match. If you're not swimming come help time or watch and cheer/jeer. It's all in good fun, although the captain of the "not-winning" team is obliged to buy the first round for the winners. As a teaser, the 100m freestyle smackdown will feature the names bolded below. The remaining lineups will be revealed at check-in. Warm up is at 3:00pm, and the meet starts at 3:30. Please bring a stopwatch if you can. Good luck and have fun!
