Our roster continues to grow with a great group of kids, including 17 swimmers new to the Winter Season! We will continue to take sign ups through the next 2 weeks so stop in at The Swimming Hole and sign up to be a part of the fun.
Goals for Week 1 - The team has been focusing on the basics, which is also one of the most important fundamentals of swimming fast - THE STREAMLINE! We are watching each other and encouraging each other to be as Narrow as an Arrow through the water to improve efficiency.
Swim Time Day - We accomplished our swim time day with 29 swimmers on Wednesday. We will continue to get a pre season time for all the swimmers through the next week, so no worries if you missed that day. Juniors swim a 25 Freestyle and a 50 flutter kick for time, while Seniors swim a 50 Freestyle and 100 flutter kick (in a 25 meter pool) for time! Everyone did great, what wonderful sportsmanship, team spirit, and individual efforts.
Winter 2012 Scholarship Essay Contest - Congratulations to Megan Thomas! Megan's essay truly spoke of the importance of team and support of others in our individual quest for our goals. Megan is 13 years old and new to Stowe, we are excited to have her on the Club this year.
White Cap Awards - Each practice a swimmer from each lane is asked to sign the lane's cap for that day's achievements, and the swimmers are excited to get their names' on the cap as many times as possible this season! Here are few names that got signed this week -
Jacob McCormack for his great 50 meter kick time - never giving up!
Oliver Ames for team spirit with the Junior cannon ball contest - learning every one's name!
Samantha Wisdom for executing her lane's workout with leadership & confidence!
Keep up the great week, and I look forward to week 2!
