2007 marks a huge change for Absolute: we now own our very own boat! With the adult team practicing out of the Jack London Aquatic Center (JLAC) [see directions below], we no longer have to cross the Bay to practice. And with our Youth Team, Absolute With A Twist (AWAT) still in full swing on Lake Merced, we are a force to be reckoned with on both sides of the Bay!
