Age Group 2 Swimmers of the Month: Jay Pearson and Meredith Ranes Congratulations to our October swimmers of the month Jay Pearson and Meredith Ranes! Both Jay and Meredith have had an excellent first part of the short course season. They both have excellent attendance and are always looking to improve. They are hard workers and pay attention to details while listening and taking feedback from their coaches! All of this hard work and dedication has paid off as they have made significant time drops this fall! Great Job Meredith...

With a couple meets under our belt this short-course season, most swimmers have already refreshed their best times. Now the focus shifts to sharpening the small details that create big progress. As we’ve been saying: if you want to accomplish something you’ve never accomplished before, you have to be willing to do something you’ve never done. AG1’s theme continues to guide us: Listening. Putting yourself in a position to hear, learn, and give space for others to do the same. Understanding. Asking questions, seeking clarity, watching examples. Application. Trying the...

We experienced highs and lows, just like every other meet; however, we demonstrated a great mindset in seeing opportunities regardless of what had happened in the past. A quote from a young man on a D1 basketball team worded it nicely when he said, “Can you be fully invested in the process without an emotional attachment to the result?” I still want to see all of you every day. I don’t care you didn't win. I don’t care that you made mistakes. I care that you showed up for yourself...

Gold caught some eyes at La Mirada. From other coaches, both club and college. Way to represent this club and group with passion, discipline and energy.

The MGK Odd Age meet was a last-hurrah of racing coming out of the high school season. There were some great races this weekend. The 1650 now has Delaney, Hadley, Joselyn, and Evan within striking distance from Sectionals. Many other races landed consistent with prior competitions. Let the outcome help fuel hard work from here to improve! The percentage of best times overall was 38%, but 58% of all races were within 1%. 70% of all times were within 2% of best times. Evan Cho – 6 BT (Avg −2.41%)...

Congratulations to all of our swimmers who participated in the MGK Invite at Scottsdale! Our swimmers continued to impress me with their maturity. They are showing up to the blocks race ready and it is showing in their results. Although we all like to see drops, I saw a lot of great things in strokes and details of races that may not lead to short term results but will in the long term! We want our swimmers to learn to race the right way with proper form and technique. A...

Pumpkin Patch was a solid showing. There were a few stellar performances and a few short of workout-based expectations. Something that both Mike and I are noticing is how well we are swimming these races. Being aggressive when we can, getting out to a first split that gives us a chance, and being consistent. I will shout out events from Pumpkin Patch and a few High school meet results. Myra Streit qualified for her first Winter Junior Nationals in the 1000 Free, dropping over 15 seconds. In her 500 split...

Senior 2, it was a tough-fought weekend of racing for the group, but overall very solid! High School competitions peppered the week prior to Pumpkin Patch for many, but despite the volume of race days, there were many great swims. Delaney got a Sectional Cut in the 50 Free, congrats! All best times from Hadley! Evan earned 6 of 7 best times, even with racing 5 days straight with a dual meet, invite, and SAC!! 6/7!!! Senior 3, although a small crew now, they showed up to race. Both dropped...
