Another terrific meet by the Swimming Eagles. Despite losing another close contest to St. Bernard's (210-165), this was truly one of the more exciting meets of which I have been a part!
In addition to winning a season high 139 ribbons, many of the races came down to the final touch. We have been practicing our starts and finishes each Monday, and it its starting to pay off.

I was very proud of all of our swimmers; they swam hard in the water and gave it everything they had, and cheered just as hard from the sidelines. We truly showed team spirit and looked great in our team suits and caps.
Practice
Our next practice is Monday Jan 28. I will have the rest of the swim suits, t-shirts for anyone who has not yet gotten one, window clings for those who did not pick them up and my "lost and found" box
League Meets
Our next meet is schedule for Sat Feb 2, 3:30 start at Bethpage HS vs. St Agnes. Please be on the pool deck by 3:00pm. If you cannot make the meet, please let me know asap.
Our meet scheduled for Feb 9 has been postponed to Sat March 29, 3:30 at Bethpage HS
In House Meets
We will plan two more in-house meets (giving us a total of 12 meets), one in February (tentatively schedule for Feb 25th) and one in March (tentatively scheduled for March 24)
Championship Meet
The "B" Division Championships are schedule for Wednesday April 2nd at the Aquatic Center. Although only about half of the team will be able to participate, please mark your calendar and plan to attend so all of our swimmers get to experience the meet and cheer on their teammates.
Selection for the championships will be based on performance at the meets and attendance at practice. Final selections and alternates will be announced after the March in-house meet.
See you all on the 28th
Coach Carroll (Kevin)
