Boy’s swimming parents,
I know Mark has talked with the boys about doing some training to prepare for next season, and the best kind of training for swimmers is swimming, and specific dryland training for swimmers. The club offers both of these, and the athletes that take part in preparing themselves tend to see bigger improvements more often when they get into the school season. Club is a great way for these athletes to do their sport, learn some new and different events, and continue to increase their knowledge base so they can continue to improve not just with their times but with stroke technique as well. As you all know there are so many things that go into a great swimming race, and the more they work on those things the better they become and the more often those great races occur. I have attached the registration sheet to this email so you can look it over, if you have questions please feel free to contact me. There is also a lot of useful information on the club website at http://www.alexswimclub.org/.

We are having a potluck/registration night Monday the April 16th with the potluck starting at 5:30, and the registration starting at 6:30pm I hope to see you there and get to meet and visit with many familiar faces as well as a lot of new faces.

Thanks for your time,
Dave

Here are the results for the girls that attended the state meet over the weekend, I have also attached a couple of photos from the meet for your use.
As a team we finished overall in 28th place in the state, but in the class A division we finished 10th with just four athletes at the meet. I was very excited about the way the girls swam, we saw some great time drops and some zone time achievements which is always a positive. I am very excited about the direction the club is going when we are having kids attend the state meet and we are scoring points against some of the biggest clubs in the state. I have included the link to all of the results in case you want to look at them http://www.medcityaquatics.org/.
