I also want to congratulate all of swimmers competing in their first LONG COURSE swim meet. They include:

In addition to some fantastic swims over the weekend, I want to recognize our swimmers for keeping their seating area relatively clean compared to other teams, talking with me and or Coach Dawn after racing, and for getting back into the pool for a cool-down swim. The younger swimmers also did a great job swimming in a 50m pool for the first time and demonstrated great determination to compete at a big facility and swim some longer distances. Way to Go TEAM. Even though it was a bit stuffy in the pool.....I still had a blast watching some great races.
