A Note from Swim School
It may be hard to believe but cooler weather is just around the corner. As the temperatures drop, remember to bring a change of clothing for your swimmer so that they aren't stepping into cool air in a wet swimsuit! In the mean time, it's still very hot outside! Even though they are in the water, your swimmers are still working out and need to stay hydrated. Its a good idea to bring a bottle of water to your lessons!
September 2nd marks the beginning of the 2014/2015 swim year for USA Swimming. Nitro wants to wish good luck to all of our team Swimmers! Have a great season!
Sincerely, Nitro Swimming

Inspiration with Nitro Swim
"By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer's best of weather
And autumn's best of cheer."
~Helen Hunt Jackson
"Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons. "
~Jim Bishop
"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."
~Albert Camus
"Just after the death of the flowers,
And before they are buried in snow,
There comes a festival season,
When nature is all aglow-
Aglow with a mystical splendour
That rivals the brightness of spring,
Aglow with a beauty more tender
Than aught which fair summer could bring...."
~Emeline B. Smith, "Indian Summer"
