Coaches Corner for High River

What a great second meet! As a team we really came together and worked out the kinks from Okotoks, fewer disqualifications and faster times! Way to go!

From the Green Squad Akash achieved all best times for the second meet in a row, he also stood up and made his team proud choosing to swim his 50m Breaststroke later in the day after the officials made a mistake and disqualified him from the heats. Octavio, Nandi, Jordan and Nic had great 100m Freestyle races taking off a combined time of 39 seconds!

Speaking of taking off huge chunks of time Brent started the day off with a stellar 400m Free earning a personal best by 30 seconds! Brent swam a strong and aggressive race from the start maintaining even splits and finishing hard. Amber had a great meet swimming 4 for 4 best times and swam smart executing race plans. Kirsten had a great 50m Fly looking strong and taking off 6 seconds.

The Red Squad swimmers had great races and learned some important lessons this meet. India swam her heart out after losing her goggles in the 25m Free and Bradley powered through an entire 100m IM after losing his goggles on the start, way to tough it out and race!

Samuel had a quick Flutterboard race and is really coming along as a competitive swimmer!

Our relays dominated the High River pool, power in numbers! I can't wait to see the number of relays the Swordfish will be able to produce this weekend with a whooping 101 swimmers entered in our meet!!!! It will be awesome!!!

Finally a big CONGRATS to Stephen in the Black Squad!!! Stephen qualified for the ASSA ALLSTAR TEAM in his 100m Breaststroke posting a very fast time of 1.24.72. By swimming this time Stephen has qualified for winter club A Provincials held at the Talisman Center on June 26, 27, 28. Be sure to shake his hand when you see him and wish him luck!
