Awards for Senior Swimmers
At the last board meeting,
I was asked to look into the value of awards for the senior state meet as well
as the presentation of those awards.
First of all, unanimously
coaches and swimmers do not want to take up time presenting individual awards
after swims at the meet. HOWEVER, the only awards that should possibly
take up time are team awards at the end of the meet. The concept of team
finish should be more reinforced.
Secondly, medals should
still be distributed to 13-14 age groups. HOWEVER, 15-16 and seniors
could be more motivated by a "fun" award. We should reward the
top three finishers in the 15-16 and senior category with a creative "banana-type"
award. This would get seniors excited about swimming, reflect more
accurately the award structure of major meets, and allow us to be a little fun
and silly at senior state.
2.
The first SWIM seminar meeting will take place this week. If you have any
other suggestions for individuals who would be good to be on this board, please
let me know. Also, we will be presenting this year at the STAR meet
and at the Age Group State Long Course Champs. I also need your help in
finding sponsors, so keep your eyes open for people willing to donate
stuff.
