Swimmers of the Meet - Thursday, May 10, 2018 - Gian, Aliyah, Aaliyah, and Ryan

Our first official meet of the season was fun! Our returners had great races and our new swimmers improved a lot from the Red and White meet! Swimmers of the Meet are: Gian, Aliyah, Aaliyah, and Ryan. 

Gian dropped 22 seconds off of his 50 freestyle from the Red and White meet! He also dropped 4 seconds from his 50 back! He has been really focusing during practice, and it is paying off! Aliyah faced her fears and swam not only her event, the 50 backstroke, but also she stepped up and swam the 50 freestyle as well! She finished both races with a big smile on her face, and we are so proud of what she was able to do! Aaliyah also faced her fears of diving off the block; she shaved many seconds off her diving reaction time and proved to herself that she can accomplish her goals if she trusts herself. Finally, Ryan hit all of his flip turns in the backstroke, even though his group has not covered them yet. It goes to show that he has been paying attention and modeling himself off of the older, more experienced swimmers. 

We're so proud of all of our swimmers, new and returning; we are looking forward to a great season!
