We took 5 swimmers to the JO's in Coral Springs this weekend and I am so proud of our group. They are well on their way to becoming skilled performers. The trouble for most swimmers is taking what you learn and turning it into a best time or a performance that you are pleased with. At this Junior Olympics I stood by and watched swimmers pull the skill out of them when the moment was right. They weren't past or future. They were NOW!
Aside from the mountain of best times, 3 of our swimmers qualified for the All Star Meet in a total of 10 events. We had 6 performances that ranked in the top 3 with one of those performances crowning our swimmer a Junior Olympic Champion.
There has been so much work that went into this last season and the best part is that it payed off. We are having so much success and we are STILL LEARNING! I cant imagine what this team will look like when they reach a higher level of the sport.
Thank you to all parents for you commitment to your children and you commitment to the team. Without your influence and commitment we would be nothing
All of that being said it is back to the grind. Some of the swimmers will be preparing for the All Star meet, while others look ahead to the upcoming Long Course Season. I personally cant wait to get going again. Keep checking for updates!
