Wave Makers Session 1

The first of four sessions of the Learn to Swim program ended today. Congrats to all the swimmers as everyone graduated with honors! Each swimmer showed improvement every day and came excited and ready to learn to each lesson. We all learned from each other and most importantly we all had a lot of fun doing it. If these kids can enjoy swimming now it will become a sport that they can use for the rest of their lives. Also, thank you to all the parents who shuttle their kids around so that their kids can lead healthy lives.

LC Meet at FIU

So we had our first long course meet of the season and I would say that it was a great success. Of the first 24 events swum we had 14 first place finishes! And that doesn't even include the swimmers that placed in the top 8. I would say that every swimmer that we had placed in the top 8 in their respective events. It just goes to show that even thought we are a small team most teams would rather we stayed home... and I love it!

Congrats to all the swimmers that participated in the last meet. Aside from individual placement ALL the swimmers did personal best times in the races that they swam. It was great to see because I didn't rest or prepare for this meet at all. All of the kids that swim in this meet have been swimming really hard for the last 2 months with very little rest. In fact on the first day of the meet I had 3 swimmers who swam both the 400IM AND the 1500 Free. Tough kids!

After seeing that success I am excited to get into the summer. We have a new coach Dan Sorenson who just arrived and I am sure that Dan will contribute to make our team even stronger. I am excited for the bigger meets coming up because I think we are ready for the competition.
