Neptunes,

We are excitedly preparing for our Divisionals swim meet!

The attached document lists our swimmers that are entered in the meet, alphabetized by last name, and which event(s) they are swimming on Saturday.

We encourage our swimmers to look at their times and set a goal for improvement of what time they would like to try to swim on Saturday. For more experienced and faster swimmers, a drop of 1% of their time is a major improvement. For a race of about 30 seconds, that is an improvement of about .3 seconds. For less experienced swimmers, with more significant improvements to their technique, a goal of about 3% is a great improvement. For a 45 second race, that is a drop of just over 1 second.

Additionally, in the meet, places 1-6 will receive medals for their races. Places 7-12 receive ribbons. Both are exciting and well deserved, but the kids especially appreciate the medals. Swimmers ranked 5-6 want to maintain their medals while those ranked 7-8 try to move up and earn a medal.

We have Thursday's practice to really work on our Divisionals strokes and Friday to finalize our starts and turns. It is hard to believe it is already our last meet of the year, but we look forward to seeing our hard working swimmers meet their goals and end the season on a high note!

Go Neptunes!
