Hi Team-

Congratulations Sturgeons, we completed our first of what I hope is many home meets at St. Michael’s college. I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart. I loved watching everyone cheering and coming together as a team. I loved watching the kids challenge themselves to do a rather rigorous event schedule in a short amount of time. Sorry 9-10 swimmers, it is winter swim now and they are expected to do 50s, not just 25s. But it is good for them, makes them fighting fit. I bet they are all pretty tired out tonight. I know I am. Anyone who completed (or close to completed their events) can see me and get a winter duck of their choice. Great job swimmers!

I would like to give a big shout out to our first time winter swimmers, Katherine Carpenter, Isla Hayes, Lola Traverse, Aviv Singh, Owen Conboy, Malachi Doherty, Anna Andriano, Avery Wannop, Skylar Gallese, Nello King, Zara King, and Holden Bouteiller. Wow great job kids you all swam wonderfully!

I am so impressed with all of you. Thank you parents for dedicating your time on a Saturday morning. Thank you swimmers for always giving your very best. I am proud of us all. Great job team! I have attached a results file for the meet to this email. Also I have the results from the November UVAC meet as well. All results for meets can be located in the meets/sign-up calendar tab on our website under past events and click on the meet, click on the paperclip, and voila, results!

I have also attached a swimtopia mobile app flyer, which is helpful for meet sign-ups, heat/lane assignments updates, and results for home meets. UVAC uses another app: meet mobile. I am addicted to both of them, and I wish I was joking but I am not. They are relatively inexpensive and I think worth it (both approximately $10 a year).

I hope you all have a good night's rest, you have earned it! Take care! See you at the pool!
