Thoughts from Coach Jasmine - June 9

Hey 7-8s! We had a great first meet Saturday against the Knolls! Many of our swimmers swam for the very first time in a league meet, and most dropped a lot of time in their events! We had many swimmers swim fly and breast for the first time too, and I know that leads to many DQs, but great effort and we'll keep working in practice! I'm also so proud of the swimmers who displayed such great sportsmanship and stayed in the water to shake hands after their events. Way to go! 

Great job Daria Meske and Bianca Meske for swimming their first meet ever! You girls swam so fast, finishing 4th and 8th overall in the 25 free-- wow! We also had some great boys swim the 25 free-- the Gators took 2nd through 6th place with such fast swimmers like Brannon McGowan and Jack Terwilliger! We also had four stellar breaststrokers this meet-- way to go Ryan Kane, Ryan Clifford, Mackenzie McElhiney, and Madelynn Malcolm for mastering those strokes! Finally, way to go Walker Kurtz for taking first in each of his individual events-- the 25 Fly, 50 Free, and the 100 IM! 

Everyone did so well, and I know we will all do great at the meet this weekend-- our first league meet at our new pool! Make sure to get a lot of sleep and drink a lot of water this week. Thanks for all of your hard work!
