Next year we will organize the picnic in July!
Despite Mother Nature's lack of cooperation, the 2011 RED TIGER PICNIC was held (twice) at the Dolphin Swim Club on August 20, 2011 and Sept. 3 (raindate). A little of rain didn't stop over 125 students and family members from enjoying a little training, swimming and bbq-ing!
