“The reward for work well done is the
opportunity to do more.” – Jonas Salk
After this weekend I
found this quote and felt it really described where we are as a
team after this weekend. As a team our swimmers rewarded themselves
with many great victories only to now set the goals higher and
higher for the end of the season. With higher a goal that means
that they rewarded themselves with the opportunity to train more
and even harder than they have to this point. Something you got to
love.
We had success of
great proportions this weekend in every age group.
-Our 15&overs put
together swims that gave us great confidence in the work they have
put into this season. Most were feeling exhausted but still were
still staying focused on the big prize at the end of the
season.
-Our 14&unders
put in a meet that proved to them that all of the work during
Holiday training was well worth it. As an entire group they
averaged nearly 75% best times. Could you imagine in any other
sport if you were successful 75% of the time.(baseball batting .750
or Basketball shooting 75% from the field). It is impossible to
achieve these levels. But yet our swimmers proved it was
possible.
-As an entire team we
surpassed our goal of 1,000 best swims by over 200. WOW!!
-We haven’t
added up the number of new time standards that were achieved yet
but it was an amazing amount.
