This past meet we had a bunch of swimmers trying different events and new strokes which is AWESOME! Sometimes this can lead to more DQ's, but don't get discouraged because we will keep working on our strokes in practice and get better and better! At Cherry Knolls three swimmers dropped an incredible amount of time in their 25 free. Claire Applegate dropped 12 seconds, Lindsey Reed dropped 11 seconds, and Julian Knight dropped 17 seconds... SO GREAT! Ryan Clifford swam the 25 breaststroke for the first time, and not only did he swim it legally, but he earned points for our team placing 3rd overall! In her 50 freestyle Bridget Gorder tried a flip-turn for the first time which is so great... thank you for trying something new!
This next meet is against Heritage Village so let's remember that hard work at practice WILL pay off in meets! Make sure this week you are getting plenty of sleep and drinking LOTS of water. Hope to see you ALL at the pasta dinner on Friday night to fill up on carbs before our meet!
Thank you for all of your hard work...
