Message from Coach Matt (June 17th)
Hello Piranha Families!
What an awesome way to start off the season with a 382-370 win against Twin Farms on Saturday's A meet! It was a very close meet and I'm very impressed by how we swam.
We had a total of 96 best times during the meet! There was 11 swimmers who swam 3 or more events and dropped time in every single event. This includes Noah DeYulia, Sean Douglas, Lucas Farina, Natalie Flynn, Zoie Gregory, Rachel Howell, Decklin Hughes, Andrew Klein, Carolyn Lee, Anneke Scace, and Timmy Tomlinson. Awesome job!
Our swimmer of the week this week is Andrew Klein. He shows up to practices on time and always listens and works hard. He is an 11 year old that has been keeping up with the 15-18 age group during practice so far this year. Andrew dropped time in all 4 events that he swam this past weekend, including over a 2 second drop in his 100 IM race. Keep up the good work Andrew!
We also had a number of All-Star nominating times this weekend. Congratulations to Nic Santorelli and AJ Navaleza! Nic received an All-Star time in 100 backstroke and AJ received an All-Star time in 100 backstroke, 100 breaststroke, and 100 IM. Congratulations Nic and AJ!
This coming week is the first week of morning practice. Ages 11 and up will practice from 8:00-9:30am, ages 10 and under will practice from 9:30-10:30am, and pre-team will be from 10:30-11:00am (Monday-Thursday). There will also be afternoon practice for all age groups if you are unable to attend morning practice. These practices will be on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 5:45-6:45pm.
This upcoming week we have our first B meet at home against Quail Valley on Wednesday, June 20th. You should have received an email earlier from the B reps containing all the information about this meet. On Friday, June 22nd, we will be having our pasta pig out! Stop by the pool at 6:30pm to enjoy a delicious pasta dinner with the team. On Saturday, June 23rd, we have our second A meet away against Norbeck Grove. Please go onto the website and declare your availability for this meet as soon as possible so we can get started on the lineup for this meet!
The summer swim season is off to a great start so far and I'm looking forward to the upcoming meets!
