State Meet: The wagering has started, let’s have fun and raise money for our own Jim Young Fund.

This event will start at the Christmas Party on Dec. 16 and run until the Milford Meltdown. Results will be announced after the Milford Meltdown.
From the Coaches:
Maria: Jim will be coaching on Saturday.
Dianne: I’d love to see you at Milford this week!
On a Personal Note: Congrats to all who attended the meet today, we had some great swims! Not everyone swam personal best times but everyone had something that they wanted to focus on during each event and that was fantastic!
The coaches want you to know that there is no more perfect time to come to workouts. If you are regaining your feel for the water after being out for an extended period of time, this is the perfect time for you to swim with a coach watching. Drop down a lane from your usual training place/partners and take the time to learn that new flipturn, new body position, or new stroke. Fix those problems that you’ve been hearing about from the coaches and learn to make your stroke more efficient and/or what drills you could work on to make your stroke/race/turn/underwaters/breakouts successful and perfect! Train how you want to race!
13 Weeks to State
