Weekly Check in for November 12th
Hello Team,
At home meets spectators must not stand in front of the stands or in front of the the doorway. I know it is crowded but swimmers and judges must have the walkway free and for safety reasons the doorway must be clear. It would help if those sitting did not store purses, swim bags, drinks… on the seats. Leave them in cars, in the locker, with the swimmers or under the seats. We are looking to find ways to provide more seating.
Nashua was a WIN and we had a tie against Waltham. We had a tie in that we each won 2 age divisions and tied the last. The tie breaker was also a tie; however, we had the most points overall.
DQs:
The DQ sheets went out into folders. Please make sure you and your swimmer read the note and if you are unsure what it means please come see me, Nikita or Joe to review. Dqs happen, but the swimmers need to know what they did to learn from it.
We had a lot of disqualifications over our breaststroke kick and pull so we will revisit it as a focus this week. Please remind your swimmers the feet must turn out and that we achieve that by turning the knees out (turning the feet without the knees can damage the knees). Also, in breaststroke the hands cannot go past the chest while stroking.
Please watch the following video with your swimmer:
Volunteers:
Reminder, you must volunteer at two home meets during the season.

You be the Coach!: You must register selections by 6 pm tonight.
The event must be in their age group (sorry 15-18s: no 25 free for you!) and we will not offer the 500 as an option as this is an away meet and we are not sure if the other team will offer it.
