With so many great performances, it was hard to choose the swimmers of the meet from our tri-meet against the Mighty Krocs and the GILLS on Monday. However, Jesse D., Esmeralda V., and Olivia S. definitely earned the title, "Swimmer of the Meet."
​
Jesse swam great in all of his events, including swimming his first ever legal 100 IM in a meet. He is very helpful with getting the less experienced swimmers acquainted with swim meets, and is the epitome of sportsmanship in and out of the pool.

Esmeralda was a strong addition to both of her relays and she swam up (and did great) in both the 200 IM and the 100 Back. Her grit and determination to improve is noticeable in her practices and in her races.

This was Olivia's second meet ever, and in it, she raced her first ever 100 IM, winning her heat handedly, and proving that showing up and working hard in practice really pays off!
We're very proud of our swimmers!  

The swimmers of the meet for our dual meet against the Mighty Krocs are Felix S. (11) and Gissel I. (11).

These two eleven-year-olds showed a high level of competition and sportsmanship in their races. After dropping a second and winning his 50 butterfly, Felix went out of his way to shake hands with his opponent. All of Gissel's hard work in practice has been paying off as well. Her 50 backstroke looked great, and she dropped almost ten seconds off of her time from the Red and White meet!

In addition to these two swimmers, the entire team had a great first meet of the season! We're off to a good start.
