We had three swimmers attend the All Star Meet. I was excited to have the kids experience a meet that goes beyond a Junior Olympics. They learned a lot about continuing a taper and racing hard week after week. Sometimes a swimmer can get stuck thinking that Junior Olympics is the fastest meet. It IS fast but now we are seeing that JO's is important but it is only part of the path leading to bigger and better things.
I was also glad to hear that our swimmers got to experience things like swimming on fast relays. We are a small team and don't necessarily have enough kids to swim a relay and I think it is important for kids to view swimming as a team sport as well as a individual sport.
I would also like to report that one of our swimmer was voted captain of their age group. This was quite an honor for him to bring back to the team.
Congratulations to ALL swimmers who competed in ANY meet over the last season. We now move to Long Course Season. Keep Checking for updates.
