Our 3rd practice went very well, and we registered another 9 swimmers. We are still looking to add young men and women over the age of 14, so if you know of any, invite them down to join the team!
My thanks again to all of the parents who helped out on the pool deck this past Monday. We had at least 8 parents helping out on the pool deck or in the water during the 6:30 session when we have all of our younger and less experienced swimmers. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. As we continue to practice we will start to move swimmers into lanes with similar skill level so that they can all learn and improve their techniques.
Next Practice:
During the next practice, we will time all of the swimmers in all strokes, so please try to have them on the pool deck by 6:30 and 7:30. I know we still have some conflicts with other sports as well as religious education, so if you get their late, no worries. For those whose swimmers are less experienced, please assure them that timing them is simply a way for us and them to gauge their improvement throughout the season, and that this Monday is not a competition. They need to simply do their best.
Turkey Challenge:
Remember to come down by 6:30 on November 19th for our first in house meet - The Turkey Challenge. This will give us an idea of how a dual meet is run, how to prepare for the start of the race and what competition - and earning a ribbon - feels like.
All swimmers will compete and every place (1st - 6th) will earn a ribbon. I will also try to get a handout to everyone explaining the rules that CYO of Nassau Suffolk abide by with respect to swimming competition prior to or on the 19th.
Looking forward to seeing you all on Monday night.
Coach Carroll (Kevin)
