Weekly Update: 5km Pool Championships

It was a great 5km pool championships for all the showed up for the morning swim. Everyone was substantially better than last year over the 5km distance. For those of you doing it for the first time all showed control and confidence in the swims you did. Everyone should be looking forward to their upcoming 1500, 800, or 400 over the next two meets. I was pleased to see all the smiling faces before the swims and also pleased with the level of exhaustion after the swim. You all truly gave 100%. Whether you thought you died, or though that you had some left it is something that you can learn from. And everyone can learn from me and those parents that watch when I say we need to still be harder on ourselves with our turns! 5km or 50 meters you need to do them perfectly every time!

Also on GET UP and RACE night with the 200 IM's this week. The number of best times and the skills you showed was impressive! Not just small best times but big ones from 11 of the 14 swimmers at practice and the other 3 weren't that far off! Way to go! Now we get a chance to show what we can do this weekend at the JP Fiset. It will be a LONG meet so get your parents to check their email this week for information from Matt.
