Despite the cold weather and a few technical meet mishaps, Gold Medal swimmers threw down lots of impressive swims! Here are our results: Age Group 2 157 Best times. Lots of great races! Our "fundamentals" (starts, turns, technique) were awesome, the only aspect we are going to focus on is underwater kicks/pullouts. A lot of the work in practice was seen across many events, but when we got really tired it was less reliable. The more focus we can have in practice with these parts of our swims, the better...
