Thank you for being so patient this week and we have worked to get kids organized in lanes. I have brought in extra staff to help make sure kids are having a good experience. My coaching staff has A LOT of experience with swimming and working with kids. Swimmers have been divided in lanes according to ability and age. We want to make sure your child is in the right lane so they can get the proper instruction. If you stay to watch practice, you will notice that the lower lanes have more help in the water. This is so that those kids can get good stroke instruction. The top lanes are more skilled swimmers who are working on cleaning strokes and technique. Coaches in those lanes are well versed in technique and often they can see what swimmers are doing better from outside the water, so you won't see them in the pool as often. If you have any questions about your child's placement, please let me know.
This is our first Friday of practice. On Fridays, swimmers do a short work-out and then work on meet prep. Things like dives, starts, turns, how a meet runs, etc. This a safe, comfortable time for kids to learn how a swim meet runs. The last part of practice coaches will play an organized game with the kids. Swimmers still come at their regular time.
If you still need to order any equipment, please let me know. I am happy to help with that.
Thanks for a great week!
