Spring Water Log 2010
The 2010 AmberJax long course season is off to an amazing start. With the first three meets under our belts, we have lots to be excited about. Our swimmers have been swimming fast, racing hard and perfecting good stroke mechanics.
Announcements
1- We have been experiencing rapid growth this season so we have brought on a few new faces to the coaching staff. First, we are thrilled to have hired Coach Andy Bergren as a full time coach. Recently, Coach Andy has been splitting his days between Episcopal High School’s development office and the AmberJax. This move will allow Andy to focus entirely on his coaching and we are grateful to have him. Secondly, we have picked up three of our college swimmers as coaches for the younger groups. Please take time to congratulate and welcome Coaches (and current AmberJax) Shannon Blizzard, Cameron Pfhaler, and Amanda Singleton.
2- We have our annual Midnight Madness Meet coming up next week. This meet is now our biggest meet and we really appreciate all the outstanding parent volunteer efforts that we have grown to count on. Your help is the reason that our meets are so highly appreciated by the local swimming community. Please make sure that you sign up with Susan Schuster soon!
