Marlins,

Hope all our Marlins Fathers had a great day yesterday! We appreciate all our dads, but want to give a special shout out to Chris Thurman, Brian Lynch, and Aaron Andrikopoulos who are key members our our Swim Team Committee. We appreciate all their time and talents to help each of our kids have a fun-filled summer. The Marlins would also would not be the same without Mike Nagayama at the grill and staying up far too late on Fridays preparing delicious concessions. We can’t forget Barry Tao, Oliver Lee, Aashish Singhvi, Vivek Kokkengada, and Grant Buddas for taking on lead roles for our meets and events. Finally, special thanks to Abner Germanow for being our faithful starter/announcer and bringing a tear to our eyes with his heartfelt read of Oscar’s Senior Bio. Thank you!!
