Weekly News / by Coach Laura

Welcome to Week 11!

I hope everyone is enjoying practicing with new fins. Thank you to Valerie Netsch (Hilarey's Mom) who coordinated the order. If you have not received yours, please be patient, as some size exchanges had to be made.

All the coaches appreciate the swimmers who are on deck and ready to practice at their designated times. We have implemented  the “no one wants to be last out the door of the locker room” policy!  Along with being ready to practice, your equipment should accompany you: goggles, cap, water bottle, and fins.  Place these item on edge of the pool  near the lane you will practice in.

I hope everyone is excited about the YMCA meet this Saturday at 3:00 PM. Please be there with blankets or chairs and be ready  by 2:45 ready to stretch. All the coaches are asking that our team stay together and be ready to swim. If you need to go to the restroom or other, let a coach know and  make sure you promptly return.

I have been pleased with everyone’s progress. Times have been improving and technique becoming more professional. For those of you that missed me falling in the pool last week as I was trying to correct a turn you missed a pretty embarrassing moment. At least you can’t say your coach isn’t willing to do anything to fix your child’s technique.  Or you might say she is just pretty clumsy!!!
