16 Waves swimmers made the trek to Fernie, BC, last weekend.

I am very proud of you all!

Ellis had a great weekend at the pool.  He listened to our race plans and worked on all the little things we talked about before and after each race.  He worked on specific things during warm up to improve on some technical aspects of the stroke or turn and used them to his advantage during his races earning 3 new best times. Nice work Ellis!

Kaden Goffinet (17) M

 Kaden and Coach Sean have had a running gag for almost 2 years that he is secretly turning into a backstroker.  This meet proved no exception to that with best times in both of his backstroke races and coming very close to a provincial trials time in his 50 back.  Congrats!

Elizabeth got a shout-out from the announcer for her breaststroke turns this weekend, and delivered some great races, going a best time in her 50 back and coming within .04 seconds of a best time in her 50 fly.  Awesome!

 Jon dropped 7 seconds in his 400 Free to start the meet, and kept working through his races all weekend, making finals and figuring out how to work them.  He finished off the meet with a solid 100 fly, and his reward is not having to do it next weekend.

Zoe has been working hard on less movement in her head for breaststroke, which she did and had great success in her 100 breast with a new personal best time.  It is developing well and will keep working on making it even better.  A great working meet for Zoe and can not wait to see what the year has in store.

Avery and Coach Nicole worked together to decide to work on her backturns this swimmeet.  Avery agreed to do one turn in her 100 Back.  Avery did it and even got a best time in the race, dropping 3.62 seconds from her swim in Lethbridge.  With that she even did her turn in her 50 back race this weekend too!!  Keep up the work Avery, those turns will get easier the more we do them!!

Connor Tweten (12) M

Oliver keeps working so hard and it is paying off.  Oliver achieved his 11 year old 200 Breast Provincial Festival Standard time.  Working on technique, turns and dives, not only in Breaststroke, in all strokes.  Those little things are so important and Oliver is seeing them pay off.  Keep the momentum going Oli!!

 After having had a couple of setbacks last year, Izzy was on fire(not literally) this weekend, with best times in her 50 Fly and 100 Free, and learning to use her starts and turns to her advantage.  Excellent work!
