Dear Parents and Swimmers,
I would first like to congratulate the swimmers on their excellent performances at Junior Olympics, Claremont and Moreno Valley meets. I am continually impressed with the tenacity of the swimmers as they approach each race ready to take off more and more time. I am equally impressed with the improvement in strokes, starts, turns and finishes and I would like to thank the coaches for their efforts in these regards. Swimmers, keep in mind that it is not usually the strongest or biggest swimmer who wins the race but the swimmer who has the best strokes who will prevail in the end
As we approach what is the beginning of the competitive year and the conclusion of the long course season, it is important to look back and reflect upon our successes and those things we need to work on. With this knowledge in hand we can direct our energies to improving ourselves in the following year.
I am impressed with the way the team has begun to come together and the growth that has begun to happen. The team has the possibility to become a powerhouse of local swimming talent, but the only way this will happen is to make sure the swimmers are attending practice on a regular basis, keeping a commitment to stroke technique, and most of all, keeping swimming fun.
See you at the pool,
