A Great Start to the Season
First, I want to thank you all very much for your help at the swim meets. It makes it so much easier to prepare your swimmers for competition when the parents have stepped up and taken care of our team work responsibilities. So, THANK YOU!

I set three goals going into the last two meets:

1) Have fun: swimmers, coaches, and parents.
2) Put into action all the things that we have been working on at practice (technical skills, turns, starts, etc.).
