Coaches Corner 

What a meet! The weather definitely worked against us, but overall I think we did a good job of working through the elements and making the best of it. We saw some great things out of our swimmers: our backstroke starts are looking better in the 8 and unders, I saw a majority of our 10 and under 50 freestylers do flip turns, and strokes in the 11 and ups are looking better. We will continue to work on technique in the 10 and unders (especially breast and fly), and focus on fine tuning things in our 11 and ups. 

However, even with all the good things I saw yesterday, the report of our kids taunting our guest team is a huge embarrassment. I have talked to our swimmers on a few occasions about sportsmanship and kindness (including kindness to teammates), they know what it means, and what it should look/sound like. No swimmer should be showing this behavior. We are a huge team this year, so it will truly 'take a village' to keep our swimmers acting like the exemplary Stingrays we know they are. What better village to be with than the Stingrays? We will be addressing this at every age group this week, but please follow up with your swimmer(s) at home too. I am expecting much better behavior next week! 

We are also beginning 'Swimmer of the Week' awards, which should've been announced at the meet yesterday, but we rushed Ready Bench loading to beat the weather. These swimmers will be announced at practice on Tuesday. All coaches decide these swimmers based on attitude, dedication, sportsmanship, grit, and leadership during practices. I will send an email later this week with the list of award winners. 

See you at the pool!
