Swimmers of the Meet - Thursday, June 20, 2019 - Ruben, Jadyn, Charles, and Cori

Our meet against HF was full of strong races across the board. HF was probably our strongest competitor this season, but we still managed to race hard, drop time, and win some races. Swimmers of the Meet are: Ruben, Jadyn, Charles, and Corri.

Ruben's perseverance is infallible. He'll swim anything we put him in and he'll work his tail off to do well. Ruben also stepped up by filling in spots in two relays without complaint; he is a role model for the younger swimmers. Jadyn, similarly, was incredibly helpful today. When a teammate was feeling ill and distressed, Jadyn was the first one to bring her a towel and sit with her. She also dropped an impressive three seconds on her 100 backstroke!

Charles swam a great race in the 100 IM, narrowly placing second, but still dropping almost a second off his best time. Competition always brings out the best in Charles, and it was fun to watch him race. Corri not only stepped up and swam as an alternate in the medley relay, but she also dropped two seconds in every individual event she swam! She has been hitting a wall for the last few meets, and she finally broke through it!

Nice job swimmers!

Swimmers of the Meet - Thursday, June 13, 2019 - Tim, Samanta, Galilea, and Victor

Another fun winning meet for the EASC! We had a great, fast meet against Burbank this past Thursday. As a team, we are looking fitter, faster, and more confident in the water. Swimmers of the Meet are: Tim, Samanta, Galilea, and Victor.

In the past few meets, Tim has had a lot of success in his races, but has been off from his best times. Thursday's meet was a return to form, with Tim's times dropping back down to his old personal bests! It is always great watching an athlete work through a competitive wall! Samanta, who just aged up to the 10 & Under age group, dropped over 5 seconds in her 50 free! It was great to watch her improve her time in an older, faster age group. Gali also dropped a bunch of time in backstroke! Focusing on technique in practice is truly benefiting her when it comes to meets. Victor was named swimmer of the meet not only for his awesome effort in the pool, but for his natural leadership with the younger and novice swimmers. He is incredibly dependable and helpful, always getting the kids ready and helping them read the heat sheet.

Thank you, all, for another great meet!

Swimmers of the Meet - Thursday, June 6, 2019 - Jonathan, Ronald, Jenny, and Aylin

Our hard work is really starting to show off in meets! Our meet against Tinley was fun, with many incredible races and time drops! Swimmers of the meet are: Jonathan, Ronald, Jenny, and Aylin.

Jonathan is a new swimmer to the team who joined after watching his big sister swim for many seasons. In our meet last Thursday, he dropped an unbelievable 23 seconds from his 50 backstroke! That event is starting to shape out to be one of his strengths! Ronald, on the other hand, is one of our most experienced swimmers; he trains with us in the summer to prepare for his high school season. He earned this title not because of any incredible time drops, but because of his outstanding consistency. He is a role model for the younger swimmers in both his attitude and his performance.

Jenny recently returned from a medical leave and impressed everyone when she dropped 12 seconds on her 100 free. If this wasn't good enough, she followed up that race by dropping 11 seconds in her 100 backstroke, too! She also had a beautiful and fast butterfly in her medley relay. Way to go, Jenny! Aylin is a quiet leader in practice. She is a hard worker who asks good questions and never complains. In this meet, her work ethic paid off when she dropped 4 seconds in her freestyle and 7 seconds in her fly! 

Thank you to all swimmers and families for coming out on Thursday! We are so proud of every one of our athletes.

Morning Practice
We've been getting a lot of questions about AM practice from some of our new swimmers.

​Our calendar is posted here. We expect swimmers to attend as many practices as possible; if you are still in school, we are still holding evening practices. We do, however, encourage athletes to attend both sessions for extra training!

Since we've started morning practice, we are finished with the Tuesday evening dryland. 

Team Pictures - June 11
Will be held Tuesday, June 11 at 6pm sharp.
Please wear your team suit and arrive by 5:45pm!

Car Wash Fundraiser - June 15
This is our biggest, most important, and most fun fundraiser of the year. All athletes are required to sell 5 tickets, but we do have extras available at the pool.
Don't forget to sign up to work on the pool deck -- it is a ton of fun!

Thunderbolts Game - June 30
EASC is buying tickets for all swimmers to attend the Windy City Thunderbolts game on June 30. Parents, friends, and family should come too -- tickets are only $10 for guests. Pick up tickets at the pool.

​This is always a very fun team-building event; come to eat, drink, and be merry!
