Note from
the Age Groups
11/16/09
Stroke
development and Level 1 swimmers continue to impress us at every
practice. Our shallow end swimmers in the stroke development
group are doing a great job of getting their faces wet and jumping
in the deep end. Their front crawl strokes and back floats
are very impressive as well. The rest of the stroke
development swimmers continue to work on building up their
endurance to swimming lengths of the pool backstroke and freestyle
in order to eventually move into our Level 1 group. Level 1
swimmers have done a great job of morphing into two separate groups
on an everyday occurrence. We have split our Level 1 guys and
gals into two groups. One group is a group that continues to
work on stroke progression and development as we swim lengths of
the pool. The other group is focusing on endurance in
addition to stroke technique as they are working their way into
Level 2. We are very proud of those swimmers that appear
ready for Level 2 and we’d like to congratulate them on their
extra efforts at practice! Stay tuned for information on the
Holiday Balloon Meet!
So it seems
that the sickness bug have finally left our Level 2 group.
We’ve started to see some new faces and its great to see
them. The swimmers have been swimming in a meet or two and the
Neumann League Championships so we’ve been focusing a lot on
how to race and remembering to do streamline, pullouts, and
everything else in our races! We’ve seen great some great
races the last couple of meets and can’t wait to see whats
next!
