I hope I didn’t miss anyone!

I am particularly pleased to see our swimmers trying new events (and succeeding!!) Several eight and unders swam the 50 back for the first time and managed their flip turns expertly. Many other swimmers chose longer and tougher events. We are making a lot of progress!

Thank you to our parents who volunteered to officiate and time at the meet. I certainly appreciate your efforts and I know the Farmington team does as well.

This upcoming week we will be sending Coach Peter and Ethan Schwab to the Speedo Winter Junior National Meet in Greensboro. This is a very high-level meet for swimmers across the nation. Angus MacDonald and Sam Clifford also qualified for this meet, but opted not to attend.

As you are making your holiday plans, if you are traveling please try to get swimmers into a pool. Clubs across the nation are pleased to welcome guests…we always do! Our lead coaches will be glad to give you workouts. We don’t want to impede our momentum.

Have a great week!

Kevin​
