Hi Team Abb
We had a great day yesterday at the Carlile cup. Overall some fantastic results and a fine amount of PB’s. Reflecting and comparing to this time last year – the coaches and I are super happy with the increase in skill level from Abb swimmers. We were also impressed with the swimmers sticking to race plans and in some cases trying new events and new strategies. As always great to see the kids hanging out together and supporting each other. Although not all, but most do need to improve their self-management skills by wearing warmer clothes and completing swim downs and warm ups. The preparation is also a part of putting together a great race. Mostly a fine result and it seems we are in a good place at the beginning of our winter campaign. Keep up the skill training and do the work and things will continue to improve. As always input equals output.
We have decided to award and reward swimmer of the meet per squad. It was tough to decide as so many swimmers did so many great things but the stand outs were;
Junior Challenge – Claudia Freeman – great skills and very good at listening to the coach. Smiling always!
White Squad – Carolyn Nifnafs for her huge program and continuous gutsy racing and big smiles after every race. Pb’s galore and with so much respect for her coach Rafa extreme passion for the sport.
Black squad – Maddie Robinson for her awesome attitude, great race plan execution, happy face and huge pb’s.
Gold squad – Jacquie Feurtado – Tough, skilful, respectful, happy and forever gracious – and lots of pb’s.
Thank you to the parents who helped with our club duties of time keeping and officiating.
