Hi team! Way to compete last night by everyone, parent swimmers included who get my fan of the night award.  Some of you got your first taste of what a swim meet is (complete chaos), and it was great to get out there again with all of our returning swimmers.  A few notes and things we will be working on this week at practice:

-We had too many DQ's due to using the wrong kick, specifically on breaststroke and not touching with 2 hands on finishes for butterfly.

-Our starts could still use some work and I see plenty of room to shave off some time from a lot of swimmers from that alone.
