_____________________________
The note I previously inserted about half-and-half does NOT apply to this meet because for figures the swimmers will wear goggles.
For the meets in April, May, and June, here is the note. "Half and Half (real, not artificial) will ease eye reaction to chlorine in pool. Probably Valerie will take some. Check with her"
