Swimmers of the
Month
For
October
Angus Yick
-
Swimmer of the month for Age Group One
is…..Angus! Angus has only been swimming with EBAT for
a couple of months. When Angus first started swimming I
would have to force him to take a break. Now I
don’t worry so much about him. He has no problem keeping
up with everyone now. Angus has shown much improvement over
these past couple of months! He is always ready to go with a
smile on his face! It is a joy having Angus in our
group!
Andrew Dysico

Andrew is the perfect example of
what happens when hard work meets focus and dedication. While
I have been coaching here at EBAT, Andrew has gone from one of my
least confident, least focused swimmers to one of my more confident
and driven swimmers. He shows up on the pool deck every day
ready to work hard. His work ethic, coupled with his intense
focus on stroke technique, paid off at the October 24-25 Orinda
meet. Andrew raced his way to three new Junior Olympic time
cuts as well as one new Far Western cut! However,
Andrew’s swimming is not the only thing that has been
improving in leaps and bounds, his change in attitude has meant
Andrew now has a maturity that makes him no longer simply a kid
splashing around in a pool, but a young adult for whom the sky is
the limit. Congratulations Andrew!

Erin Ballar is ON
FIRE this season. Towards the end of the summer I started
noticing how intense Erin was becoming during practice. She
seemed to be taking charge of her sets during workouts –
finishing strong rather than struggling to finish. This is
always a big step for the Junior 2 group and Erin has definitely
made that leap. At our last meet, she SMASHED the 11-12 100
fly record by 3 seconds! She is already well on her way to
claiming the 13-14 record too. She is looking forward to
having a very successful Junior Olympics in Pacifica next
month. Great job, Erin! Keep up the hard work and this
season will be spectacular for you!
