Weekly News / by Coach Laura

Welcome to Week 18-  Good news from Ft Eustis!

Congratulations to those who competed at Ft Eustis this past weekend. Amanda, Doug, and I were very proud of all our swimmers. We want to report many improvements in stroke technique as well as personal time bests. We believe that our age group swimmers are on track for success. According to the American Swimming Coaches Association success in competitive swimming is not accidental. Some of the factors that make for success are:  consistent practice attendance,  unconditional parental support, developmental ability, and a swimmer’s abilitity and willingness to focus on their training. As coaches we are happy to report that many of our swimmers are on this track!

Thanks to all parents who made the trip to Newport News to support your children. A special thanks go to the parents who are continuing their training as USA swimming officials. Many officials from other swim clubs are impressed with our club’s willingness to become involved in officiating!!
We hope to see many people at the parent group meetings on Tuesday. Please bring questions. The coaching staff is looking forward to the opportunity to meet and talk with you in a relaxed, small group atmosphere.
