Good Afternoon Piranha’s!

We started off this week welcoming our youngest Piranha swimmers on preteam. With only 1 week of practices I'm already seeing great improvements. A special thank you to our fantastic preteam helpers. They are doing a great job with our future team Piranhas. Then we moved on to an incredible Wednesday B
meet. A lot of best times all around and
great sportsmanship. And we ended the week with a
heartbreaking loss to Lake Marion by 16 points.
It was a hot and sticky morning but I’m really proud of all the personal
best times achieved. Overall, we had 79
best time swims today!!! Absolutely incredible. We also cut our DQ's in half from last week. Keep up the great work.

This weeks shout outs are going first to Ariana T, Josie
G and Diana B for stepping up and into the meet or into extra events when they were most needed after we had
some illnesses scratch out 2 swimmers.
Way to be team players girls! And
secondly, I want to shout out every swimmer who came up to me after they raced
for feedback. I won’t list them out,
they know who they are and I want them to know I appreciate them for wanting feedback
to help improve. Parents, you can
help me and your swimmer out by encouraging them to come to a coach after they
race. I will point out areas that have
greatly improved as well as areas we need to work on. I’m here to help them improve and I can’t do
that if they don’t get the feedback. I also can not chase them around the pool
during a meet because then I would miss other races.

Next up we have a B meet at home this week against Flower Hill. Entries will close for this meet on Monday by
7PM. Please do not hesitate to get your
entries in and select the events for your swimmer. I will go through them for
accuracy and send out an entry list on Tuesday.

On Saturday we will be going to Norbeck Grove for what is
sure to be a tough A meet.

And finally on Sunday we have our Division K A Relay Carnival. I will be selecting swimmers from those who
have declared available to attend. Relays
will be finalized by Saturday afternoon after the A meet and I will send out
the entry list Saturday afternoon showing which relays your swimmer will be in. I have already begun thinking
about each relay and have a list of swimmers who may be needed attached. This list is NOT final. Names will be added and some may be subtracted
based on availability and times achieved this week. If you see your swimmers name highlighted it
means you need to tell me via Swimtopia if they are available. I will only select swimmers who have declared
available for my final draft. Unfortunately,
this may mean that some relays will be eliminated completely if we don’t have
enough swimmers.

That's all for now! Have a great weekend!
