This is a VERY popular event so prepare for crowds of fellow mango lovers.
Thanks to Marcus for sending this crispy specimen on Sunday from Logan Circle.

“Dear PoPville,
I am a parent of a DC Wave swimmer and a member of the team’s Booster Club. I want to raise awareness of an issue facing the District’s long-standing swim club, DC Wave, that has provided a competitive opportunity for a diverse group of young athletes across the city since 1983. After 2 coaches left the program in 2024, DPR Aquatics took away those FTEs from the program with no explanation and no plan for how the team was meant to maintain its USA Swimming-required coach-to-swimmer ratio. We were just informed that the head of Aquatics decided to turn those FTEs into administrative staff at other pools. Our team of over 330 swimmers has limped along for the last 2 years, and we are at a point where the current coaching staff is facing burnout.
We want DPR Aquatics to reinstate the 2 FTEs that were taken away from the club. (more…)
