Hello all,

We are impressed with the progress that our swimmers have made over the last few weeks. We’ve seen a lot of personal best times week after week, and improved technique and racing skills. Kudos!

Below is a link to a video that will help swimmers improve their freestyle. Some kids tend to think that the faster they move their arms, the better, but body position is extremely important, and pulling as much water as you can with each stroke is far more efficient, and faster! This video will show you how to improve your freestyle technique, which will result in much faster times (and help to prevent injury). Please watch it with your swimmer(s) and help them understand the content of the video:

Don’t forget to declare for the upcoming Peacehaven meet this Tuesday – attending or not attending. 

Note that for ages 11& up we will be doing dive-over starts at the Peacehaven meet. When you finish your individual race, or if you are the last person on a relay, remain in the water. Move to the side of the lane and stay close to the wall. As soon as the next swimmer dives into the pool, hop out.

Enjoy your weekend! See you next week.
