FIRST MEET RECAP

Congrats to our Aquadawgs on a great first meet!

You can find the meet results here.

For our next swim meet I would like swimmers to focus on following the correct swimming rules in their races. For example:

  • Butterfly: touching with two hands and keeping legs glued together
  • Backstroke: staying on their back the entire race especially finishing on their back
  • Breaststroke: touching with two hands and having NO flutter kicks
  • Overall: not false starting (staying still until the starter goes off), saying good job/shaking hands with competitors and cheering on our team. 
I think these simple fixes will show our knowledge of swimming, bring our team together, and create good habits for the future. 

Our next swim meet is at the Glendale/Peoria YMCA register here. This meet will begin at 12:00 pm. Please register by Wednesday June 17th. 

As some of you may know it is time for my summer vacation. I will be gone from Wednesday June 17th to Saturday June 27th. I will have very limited access to my email so if you have any questions of concerns please email Deb: djrothstein@vosymca.org

and last but not least some pictures from the swim meet!




Go Aquadawgs!
