CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR SWIMMERS OF THE WEEK:

Our swimmers of the week are: Evie Galloway and Ian Lowther!! Congratulations to these swimmers for always doing everything they can to get better!

COACH'S CORNER:

• Coach Hope: Hello parents!! This was a great week overall! I’m so proud of the progress we are already making this early in the season. And with a win right off the bat! We had a total of 80 best times this past Tuesday. Going into this week we will be continuing to polish up some of our weaker strokes and further work into building endurance. While the races might be short the nights are long, so we want to be prepared for those last races of the night just like how we are at the beginning. Thank you for another great week!
• Coach Sophia: Hello everyone! This past week has been really great! I am very proud of all the 6 and unders that participated at our meet at Lifetime. While I wasn’t able to make it to practices this week I’ve heard a lot of good things from our other coaches. The swimmers worked a lot on backstroke and breaststroke this past week so everyone can feel more comfortable swimming those strokes in meets. I will be getting back from my trip right before the next meet. Next week, I plan on working more on backstroke and breaststroke and making sure that everyone’s strokes are legal. Swamp pup practices will continue Wednesday 6/21 and I will start to try and find days to make up the two practices we missed. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns!

MEET THEME: The meet theme for this week is: Superheroes!! Wear anything and everything to be the most spirited hero there!

MEET VOLUNTEERS: We ask that one parent plan to volunteer at each home swim meet. We want all families to do their part to help. There is a wide variety of jobs to fit the needs of most families. The job sign up page is on the Swimtopia website: https://oxxfordhunt.swimtopia.com/swim_meets. For Tuesday's meet, we still have jobs to fill, especially on the second shift. Contact Diane Johnson ([email protected]) if you need to make changes to your job.

MARK SWIMMER AVAILABILITY: It is important for all swimmers to be declared the attendance for meets. This should always be done at least one week prior to a meet so the coaches can properly plan the heat sheets and minimize changes. Please mark your swimmer for next week’s meet (6/27) by Tuesday 6/20. Attendance will close on Friday 6/23.
