Future Royals 3 

Congratulations to Abi, Lydia, Lincoln, Remley, Kylie and Eleanor on a fantastic Jingle Jamboree! We had 3 new events, 22 time drops and 4 new divisional cuts. Way to go Abi on earning her divisional cuts in the 100 Free and 100 Fly and Lincoln on earning his 200 Free and 100 Breast! There were so many great things that happened this weekend not involving times too! I saw pullouts on breaststroke, kicking off walls on flip turns, swimmers using their whole body in breaststroke and butterfly, streamline off starts and kids attacking their race from the beginning! I could not be more proud of this group and how they swam this weekend.

This week we will focus on the things we need to clean up in our races, the little details that make a huge difference as well as taking our good technique and turning it into fast swimming. We will spend time celebrating our big wins from the weekend and talking about having a growth mindset.

This time of year can be really challening for our swimmers. There is a lot going on at school, home and they are working hard at practice. I encourage you to check in with your child about how they are feeling, ask them what they love about swimming and what is challenging them right now. You can also ask after each practice what was something they did well and what is something they need to work on at the next practice. Also, be sure to remind them that you are proud of them!

Please make sure that your swimmer is bringing all of their equipment to each practice, including tennis shoes for dryland and a water bottle.
