Dec. 8th Meet Results and Looking Forward

Results

I'm so proud of all our swimmers from Saturday! 

Here are the meet results. December 8th Swim Meet Results

Starting Blocks Clinic

We had a great practice on the blocks after the meet. They are working hard to improve!

Homework

Here is the video the swimmers watched during the starting blocks clinic as well as an additional video.

Backstroke Starting Dive

I am also including pictures Aaron Starr took. Please find your swimmer(s) pictures so they can see what they look like coming off the blocks. Video and pictures like this help the swimmers to be able to see what they are doing and be able to make more accurate corrections. Thank you for the pictures, Aaron!

Everyone qualifies for Championships as long as they have competed in at least 2 developmental meets. Swimmers must swim certain times to qualify for the All-Star meet. You can find the time chart on the CYO website. I am including a link here: All-Star Meet Qualification Times

December 8th Meet Program

Volunteers

Holy Family is hosting this meet. They are a big team and have most jobs covered. However, they are hoping to get enough timers to have 2 stationed at each lane and at each end of the pool. They may need a few more timers to make that happen. Please let me know if you'd like to volunteer. They will let you know Saturday if they still need you or not. 

Special Request

One of our swim team members, Madeleine Vore, has a birthday on Saturday. Her mom, Jenn Vore, has asked us to help her celebrate! She will have cookies for all the swim teamers (to be enjoyed after the meet) as we gather and sing happy birthday before the meet begins. 

After the Meet

If the meet ends early, I will be hosting a diving clinic. Please stay if you can, so we can take advantage of practicing with the blocks.

Practice Tonight and an Update

Today's (12/6) Practice

The swimmers had a hard, but great workout today. The main set of the workout was 3x100yd. The main challenge was for them to get faster every 100. They all worked so hard to do their best today. I was very proud of them. A special thanks to Sam Nunez, Amy McMahon, Jenn Larsen, Jane Overall, Coach Johnson, and Coach Starr for timing and recording times for our us today. If your swimmer doesn't remember what their 100 times were from tonight and you are interested in knowing, please let me know and I will email them to you! It great 

Google Calendar

I have updated the google calendar on the blog to reflect any updates/changes to the championships schedule.
