The Moraga Valley Pool swim team hosted the 39th Annual Bottoms-Up Swim Invitational at the Soda Aquatics Center at Campolindo High School on July 13. The meet is designed to give kids at the "bottom" of their age group an opportunity to compete against only those swimmers of the same age. ... Ever since its 1976 start, Bottoms Up has become a favorite among OMPA teams. Over the years the meet has grown to over 700 swimmers ages 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15. This year's meet was ushered in by typical morning fog giving way to glorious sunshine and many smiling swimmers.
