Weekly Junior Warriors Update from Coach Jeanne, January 19
Hello Junior Warriors families,
Hope everyone had a nice day off yesterday! This week’s news:
- Swimmer of the Week – This week’s swimmer of the week is Matt Cramer. Matt is an eighth grader who is a wonderful role model to all of the swimmers on the team. He has an amazing work ethic and his hard work certainly pays off…his times keep getting faster and faster! He also is deeply caring towards every member of our team. If you watch him at a meet, he is always cheering for his fellow teammates, giving high-fives to the younger swimmers, and always psyching up and complimenting the members of any relay team he is on. He notices when a swimmer might be troubled and lets the coaches know. Matt is an excellent example of what it means to be a team player. Congratulations Matt!
- Next Meet – Our next meet is Sunday, Jan. 24th (yes…Sunday). Timing is:
– Arrival Time – 12:10 pm
– Warm up – 12:20 pm
– Meet Starts – 1:00 pm
We are swimming Longfellow, a very good and large team. This should be a great meet with lots of good competition. Please be on time for warm up as we will warm up by team…we only have 20 minutes to warm up (12:20-12:40). If you are late, you will miss it! Please sign up on the bulletin board as to whether you will be at the meet.
- Volunteers – As always, we need our regular number of volunteers to make this meet run smoothly. A gentle reminder…all families are asked to volunteer in some capacity at a minimum of one meet. We only have 3 meets left (2 home and 1 away), so if you still need to fulfill your volunteer commitment please do so. If you are having trouble finding a volunteer position, please see Jeanne…there is always something that needs to be done!
- Focus of the Week – We have been working hard on our backstroke finishes! This week we will continue that focus and also work on butterfly.
- Swim Champions Tour – Many of you have seen the flyers in the lobby about the upcoming Swim Champions Fitter and Faster tour that is coming to Sudbury on Jan. 24th. There are 2 sessions (AM and PM). For more information, visit www.swimchampions.com and click on the Boston, MA location.
- Pizza Night – Thursday pizza night continues this Thursday!
- 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. Thanks for your help with this!
That is it for this week! See you at the pool!
Jeanne
