Whew, that was a long one! The first meet of the year is the one that, hopefully, takes the longest to complete. We had some new software/computer glitches and getting info from the other team, that took longer than expected. All in all, it was a good first meet.
Thank you to all the volunteers who worked today. We couldn’t have done it without you and your help. As you witnessed today, it takes many, many people to run a meet. Rob Jetter, I especially loved seeing you in your DP red line-up apron. What a dad!
Thank you to all the swimmers who made it to the pool and checked in on time. That helps your coaching staff so much. And, you all swam so well today–especially with one week’s less practice time than usual. There’s much more to work on, but you’re off to a great start. Congratulations to all our brand-new swimmers. Your first meet is under your belt (or Speedo) now. Congratulations also go out to Jack Payan (15-18) who broke a five-year-old record in the 50 free with a time of 22.61; Eric Gates (15-18) who broke two records today. The first was in the 50 fly with a time of 25.55. That record was set in 2003, tied in 2005 and broken today by Eric. He also broke a ten-year-old record in the 50 back with a time of 26.96. Way to swim fast!
Coaches, you are the best. I say this all the time, but we do have the best coaching staff in the league. It’s always a pleasure to be hanging out by the side of the pool with you. You put in hours of hard work, and I appreciate it. Coach Eric, have a great time in Cabo San Lucas this week, celebrating your graduation from Amador.
Don’t forget to turn in your championship t-shirt order by July 2.
Reminder
Our next meet is Saturday, June 26, against DBAC (Pleasanton Aquatic Center) at our pool. All swimmers must arrive and be checked in by their coach by 8:00 a.m. The scratch meeting will be at 8:15 and, cross your fingers, the meet will start at 9:00. You have until this Monday, June 21, to let your coach know in writing if you will not be swimming in this meet. Please email your coach and copy me on your message.
That’s it for now. Enjoy the rest of the weekend and, dads, Happy Father’s Day to you.
