RAPIDS - are broken into two groups: "A" and "B" The RAPIDS "B" group is for players who have the physical strength and posses advanced swim and eggbeater kick skills.

ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!!

On Tuesdays workout at the Multi Gen a player came to workout that was not feeling well. Wednesday this players symptoms got worse and by Thursday this player was seen by a doctor and was diagnosed with "swine flu"

There is nothing to panic or worry about. As the doctors say this strain of flu is LESS severe than the "regular flu."

This post was not meant to scare you but to inform you. Doctors have advised that if you or your child show any symptoms such as fever or body-aches you must be aware that there is a slight chance they need to be seen by a doctor.

Workouts will continue as normal until noticed otherwise. If you feel any symptoms of being sick or not feeling well please refrain from coming to workout and if conditions worsen see a medical professional.

Again, don't panic
