Hello to All,
I want to start by saying thank you to parents and to
swimmers. Our first few weeks of swim team have been awesome
thus far. The swimmers are coming to practice eager and wiling to
learn and the coaches are excited about their enthusiasm. Not
only are the swimmers coming in and sharing amazing stories with
the coaches, they are also coming in with great big smiles on their
faces. As coaches we are determined to out tell their
stories.
I realize that the entry into the first few meets has been on
the stressful side, especially for our newer parents. We
thank you for your patience and understanding. The meet
deadlines came quickly upon us and that made the process even more
stressful then it needed to be.
We are having a special "learning night" for all parents on
Monday, September 28th. It will be held at the Quincy Branch
on the second floor, in the Lopes Computer Lab. Feel free to
pop in for some tutoring or a refresher, or even with ja few
questions, any time from 5 - 7:30pm. Having the
computers available to us, we will be able to go step by step with
parents on how to register your swimmer in a meet, view your
swimmers events and other exciting things the site has to
offer. With this "learning night" it will help you to
understand how the meets work and what it will take to put your
swimmer in. Please make sure to bring your email log in and
password with you to get the most out of your time.
Now with more exciting news, the coaches all got together and
voted on Captains and Jr. Captains. The Captains and Jr.
Captains were chosen by their leadership, their enthusiasm, their
willingness to help and sense of caring. Please join us in
cogratulating Captains Leah Glennon and Tyler Leuck, and Jr.
Captains Molly Weber, and Ned Ramsey.
Captain Leah Glennon - Leah has been with the swim team for over
7 seasons. She is a Senior/National swimmer, and we have the
pleasure of her on our coaching staff for our Mini's team in
Quincy. Leah brings excitement, creativity, and passion to
our team.
Captain Tyler Leuck - Tyler has been with the Strypers for 7
seasons. He is a National Swimmer. Tyler is always one
who sings and or whistles on deck, which has been heard even during
practice. Tyler has interesting stories to be shared among
the group. He brings laughter, and smiles every day. He
has been a role model for our younger swimmers.
Jr. Captain Molly Weber - Molly is on her fourth season with the
Stryper swim team. She is a member of the senior group.
Molly shows off her leadership in the Hanover pool by challenging
the kids in her lane. She always has extra excited energy
that is filled with laughter and sunshine. She is
looked up to and respected.
Jr. Captain Ned Ramsay - Ned is entering his fifth seasion with
the Strypers. He is a Senior/National swimmer. Younger
kids in Hanover look up to Ned. With his great personality he
has been able to fit in well with all groups. Ned brings
thoughtfulness and loves to debate any subject. While being
friendly, he likes to be heard.
Have you made someone smile today? A smile goes a long
way. It feels good when you make someone smile so take a
moment and make someone smile today.
