From the Coaches:
Maria: We have been working turns and starts on saturdays. I’m seeing a ton of improvement across the board! I know it’s going to pay off huge at the meets. And it’s great to see all the work you all put in.
Remember to bring $$$ to the Holiday party next weekend… we will be kicking off the Jim Young Gun Fund fundraiser “Pick the coaches State meet events”. This is your chance for revenge. Bring it!
Dianne: We will be getting into backstroke this week during the Tuesday/Thursday practices and make some more use of our new equipment during our Friday race pace workout.
On a Personal Note: Thanks again to Kris for handling the purchase of our new equipment! Many of us got to use several new toys at workouts this week!
We look forward to celebrating the holiday season with you this weekend!
