Streamlines!!

A big focus in practice from now on is going to be on streamlining EVERY time you leave the wall. Take a look at this swimmers streamline. Notice how in the second picture you can see that his hands are in streamline position before they hit the water. As well, look at how his head is tucked down and he is squeezing it very tight!

Wow! Great job to Nicole, Kailyn, Meghan, Alexa, Leighton, Stephanie, Fran, Analea, and Bella who all came out to the swim meet this weekend! There were lots of new best times made and lots of first times swimming an event. We also began learning how to be more responsible swimmers and worked on talking to me before AND after every race.

For future meets, it would be really helpful if parents could email me at coach_chelby@silvertide.ca to let me know if their child won't be at a meet they've been entered in. That way, the coaches won't be worried about whether or not the swimmer should be scratched from their events.
