Switching from backstroke to freestyle.
One thing I have heard thru the PD and others, is just to be READY. Congrats, and good luck to all of you.

Just keep swimming
Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming, what do we do we swim, swim, swim. . . . .
Sorry, couldn't resist. Try floating from time to time too, helps the time pass.
What we need is a swim up bar in here, maybe a swim up black jack table too? Just an idea, maybe we could do it as a self help project. I'm sure there are enough of us in here that have done a few of those.

Oh, and forgive me if I'm repeating someone else, I haven't waded thru all 10 pages on the thread...

Chief in HOU said we would not be hiring till we were through with RNP training. So looks like no classes for sure up through march.
Send back those Christmas, birthday cards ect. Tell em to save that money for expanding SWA and for the contract!
