JR2 News! 

Hi everyone! 

    

I hope this email finds you all well! WHAT A MEET YESTERDAY!!! I knew the kids swam well, but it wasn’t until I sat down this morning to crunch numbers that I realized how well they all swam. As a group, 76% of our swims were lifetime bests. THAT IS AWESOME. Before the meet yesterday I told the kids I had 3 goals for them: (1) Have fun, (2) Be the loudest group on deck cheering for teammates, (3) RACE. The kids did exactly what I asked of them and it reflected in their times up on the board. They continue to impress me every single day and I am having so much fun working with all of them. That being said, heading into Thanksgiving week I am incredibly grateful for the kids, and you all, for welcoming me with open arms and trusting me to lead your kids. I have been having so much fun and I cannot wait to see what’s to come the rest of the season.

 

The practice schedule this week is going to be a little wonky due to the holiday. Monday and Tuesday will be normal schedule, Wednesday we will practice from 10am-12pm, Thursday there will be NO PRACTICE (HAPPY TURKEY DAY), Friday there will be NO JR2 practice because I cannot be there (more details to come on this), and Saturday will be back to regularly scheduled programming. IF YOUR ATHLETE IS ABLE TO AND WANTS TO TRAIN ON FRIDAY THIS WEEK, JR3/4 are practicing from 6-7:30am and JR2 is welcome to join them. I will not be there; I celebrate Thanksgiving with my mom’s side of the family that day so I will be out of town, I will be back on Saturday for practice. 

 

I have updated meet information down below to include meets that have upcoming deadlines in the month of December just to get that on your radar. As always, let me know if you have any questions! 

 

Here are some highlights from the last week of training! :) 

 

Enjoy your week!
