Age Group One October Meet Wrap-up

This weekend marked AG1’s first meet following recent group move-ups with continued momentum forward. Every swimmer showed up ready to work - warming up and warming down without hesitation, staying mindful of feedback, and maintaining growth-focused attitudes. Even when races didn’t go as planned, the group showed maturity by discussing ways to improve and carrying that focus into practice. This is especially important for young athletes to acknowledge that growth is not always quick or linear. We must honor the process and always continue to push forward!

Many athletes stepped outside their comfort zones, with several even choosing to take on the 1000 freestyle. In fact, when I asked the group who wanted to swim the distance events, the majority raised their hands in excitement! This is a true testament to their grit and willingness to challenge themselves.

A friendly reminder: swimmers who aren’t racing on Friday distance night are strongly encouraged to attend the meet warm-up session (this was held at MHS Friday night from 6-7pm with only 3 AG1 swimmers in attendance). This is a great opportunity to stay consistent and ensure everyone feels prepared and confident when it’s time to compete.
