SuperHeroes Eels 758 Olympians 763

Well

The Punisher
( aka Coach Scott )

Ms. Victory

(aka Coach Debby)

encouraged from the pool deck as the EastSide Supersonic Eels posted some awesome swims, wore some great costumes and obviously had ALOT of fun (and some kool blue frozen drinks!) but unfortunately our team came out just short, by 5 points, in our first home meet this season to the swimmers from Eastmont Cove.

EELS - 758

Olympians - 763

( and what do you mean that doesn't look like Coach Debby and I ?

I HAD that much hair I just had a cap on!)

The meet went extremely well overall, thanks should go out to all of our parent volunteers!

But the swims by some new swimmers really should be noted. A new younger brother sister dynamic duo took over 26 seconds off their time trials times! Holy time drop Batman! We had another new swimmer lock up 21 individual points by winning ALL of his events! Another time dropping sister duo took over 19 seconds off their combined times and contributed 15 points individually. And another brother sister new/returning duo posted up 35 points and dropped over gobs of time as well. The list could continue on easily with the swims delivered by

the SWARM.

What this points out is that while our team was outnumbered by around 25 swimmers (that's like having 5 swimmers in chairs behind each of our 5 lane pool ) our team posted High Quality Swims. This allowed many of us individually to achieve new time standards which now should be our new goals for this week's meet against the Hurricanes of Hanarry Swim & Racket Club coached by an old friend Coach Jack Gayle.

Some of our goals this week will be to continue to improve our strokes as well as our starts and turns. We will also develop and begin using a standard warmup for all practices and meets.

Everything else as you already know is JUST SWIMMING.
