Fall First Try

The first meet of the season kicked off with a 1 PM session, following a morning workout focused on teaching meet expectations, team cheers, and protocols. This event served as an important learning tool as we head into the rest of the season, helping us assess where we stand after the summer break and identify areas for improvement while shaking off any rust. It was exciting to have 136 ROW athletes participating in a single session, ranging in age from 7 to 17 years, and showcasing a diverse range of experience from just one year to eleven years. Overall, the meet was a fantastic way to kick off the season, leaving everyone feeling ready to go!

The swim meet showcased some impressive highlights, including the achievement of two new club records: Ethan W set a time of 1:07.64 in the 11/12 boys SCM 100 Back, while Eliza L clocked in at 34.75 in the 9/10 girls SCM 50 Fly. Despite being the first meet of the year, a high percentage of athletes achieved personal best in SCM, exceeding expectations. The competition was intense across all age groups, with some thrilling races. Additionally, it was heartening to see our senior athletes building relationships with the younger swimmers, fostering a sense of community within the club.

Thank you to the swimming officials and HHAC & KWST for joining us at our meet last weekend; your support made the event a success!
