Weekly Update from Coach Jeanne, 11/23/09
Hello Junior Warriors Families!
Another great meet this weekend! The kids looked very strong and we had some fast times…especially for this early in the season. We as coaches are especially impressed at how the kids support one another in their races…it is wonderful to see. Thanks to all the volunteers for making the meet a success…we had about 270 swimmers in the meet (compared to 180 last week) so everyone’s help was invaluable.
News for this week…
- Swimmers of the Week – This week we have two swimmers of the week, Nick Fay and Daly Place. Nick showed incredible flexibility when asked at the last minute to fill in on a relay (his second of the day) and he didn’t hesitate. Yet when it came time for the relay, he gave his spot to a younger swimmer who had not gotten to swim on a relay in an earlier event due to some confusion. Nick was a true team player! Daly volunteered to help organize the relays for the younger kids. She did a wonderful job and was such a help as we were short handed when it came to putting the relays together. Congratulations Nick and Daly!
- Focus of the Week – Our focus this week shifts to freestyle. We will be working on good form, good turns and breath control. We will also be talking about swimming straight in races (i.e., on top of the black line). Ask your swimmers about it!
- Thanksgiving Week Schedule – Our schedule for this week is:
– Tuesday, 11/24 – Practice as usual
– Thursday, 11/26 – NO PRACTICE…HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
– Sunday. 11/29 – Practice as usual
(**NOTE: We are NOT doing time trials this year since we have already had 2 meets)
- Next Meet – Our next meet is Saturday, Dec. 5th at 5:00 pm at Thoreau in Concord. Please note the late start time!!
- Showers – We need your help! The town has asked us to have all swimmers shower before entering the pool. This will help reduce the contaminants that get into the pool and will put less stress on the pool. Our facility is very old and is running on borrowed time…so we need to do everything we can to keep it running through March! Please remind your swimmers to shower before coming out to the pool deck.
- Team Suits – The remaining team suits should be here this week.
- Lobby Monitor Shifts – The lobby monitor shifts are posted next to the bulletin board. Please check the list for your shift. If you are unable to make your shift, it is your responsibility to find a replacement.
That is it for this week! Best wishes to everyone for a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving with family and friends.
