Another GREAT day in the pool!!!! You kiddos continue to impress the coaches!! Dropping time and fighting in the pool, you continue to work hard and it is paying off!!

Some of you may be discouraged because you haven’t gotten a medal yet or been the winner of the heat, don’t worry, your time will come. What is happening is more of our swimmers are finishing the races and doing so without being disqualified, that is huge!! You are doing the right thing and performing the stroke as it should be. Speed will come later as you develop more muscle and endurance. Continue to do the right thing and work hard and I promise it will pay off.

I have seen a LOT of passion and drive. Those are things that we can’t coach, those are things that will help push yourself to that next level.

Keep at it!!! Kick, kick, KICK!!!

Looking forward to a great full week of practice!

See you at the pool!!!!
