Tom Kingston Daytona Invitational Meet
Results
What an exciting way to start the short course season!
This meet was a fun format for all age groups…the seniors
got to swim some sprint events and everyone else got to swim a
prelim/final meet. The team spirit was high and the swims
were fast. It was a great opportunity for me to get to know a
lot of our newest team members and to assess our training and
conditioning. What a difference a year makes our club is
light years ahead of last years team, and I’m excited about
what the rest of short course season will bring. Now for some
stats.

Swimmer with 100% best times:
1) New swimmers were searched on USA swimming for prior best times,
and I only go back one year for best times. Also if
it’s your first time swimming an event then it’s your
best time.
2) This was a prelim/finals meet for most swimmers, while many
swimmers had 2 best times per event I only counted 1 best time for
each event.
25 Swimmers had 100 % best times!!!

*** Also total best times for the team was 83%, WOW….
While all this is good news we still have a lot of improvements
to make, i.e. breathing off walls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s continue to work hard and set some goals for our home
meet in October. Keep up the good work AmberJax.
