Happy Saturday Sharks, 

From Tess and I, a huge thank you to all of our volunteers that stepped up today to get our show on the road!! We were able to finish the meet by 10:30am this morning which is awesome, thank you again. I have attached the meet results and team scores. 

Unfortunately we did lose the overall team scores but this sport is about personal improvement and dropping time which we had plenty of today. Shoutout to the following swimmers that have already qualified for the Gold Meet; Lexi Grossmiller in 25 free, Levi Bauer and Mallory Gallina in 25 back!! Congrats to those swimmers. 

As we move into week 5, our goals are to get all 4 strokes legal. Once we can swim all 4 strokes then it becomes about endurance to swim 50s and perfecting our technique. We want our sharks to dig deep and swim with a sense of urgency like they're in a race! I have attached a short 4 minute video that outlines reasons for getting disqualified or DQ'd from a race. It is good to know as an athlete and parent what the rules and infractions of this sport are so please sit down with your swimmer and watch the video with them. Your swimmer may be able to explain some of the rules if you are unfamiliar! Some of these rules do not apply to our summer league but it provides a detailed overview of general infractions. 

If you have any questions or concerns then don't hesitate to reach out. Stay cool this weekend. 

-Coach Nastya :-)
