Weekly Update 05/16 - 05/22

Kyle Wilson

Hey Team,

 

I hope you all took advantage of and enjoyed the fun events we had this past week. Combined fun practices were a blast, and a visit from TYR Pro swimmer, David Curtiss, was a huge gift and moment many of our swimmers will remember for a lifetime. Thank you to all the parents who came down to our sizing night and made time for our travel meet meeting. We appreciate your continued support of our swimmers and program.

 

Huge shoutout to the many swimmers who are competing this weekend at the LIE May Extravaganza Meet. We have had so many best times and first time swims!

 

Special shout out to Lily Calandra, Brooke Pfisterer, Ula Weng, and Olivia Nguyen on making 2022 LCM Junior Olympics!

2022 Summer Meet Calendar - LONG COURSE METERS 

Please note that these meets are all Long Course Meters meets unless noted otherwise. In the summer season, we compete in long course meter pools, which are a little more than twice the length of our training pools at the Sachem high schools. Please speak with your group coaches at practice if you have any questions about this transition to the long course season.

 

Please be advised that meet attendance is highly encouraged. Long Course season will fly by, so be sure you’ve earned your cut times early on in the season!

Junior Lifeguards - Jr Guard Summer Training & Competition Opportunity

 

For anyone interested, you can still sign up to be a member of the Fire Island Junior Lifeguard Program for the 2022 Summer Season. Practices are held on Saturdays during the summer when we do not always host regular practices. Coach Kyle has worked with this program directly for the past 3 years and highly recommends it to many young athletes who are interested in competing in Ocean Lifeguarding events and learning Lifesaving Skills.


This year, the FIJL program is looking at a return to the USLA National Championships, which will be in Hermosa Beach, California this year.

 

Please Contact Bryan Krut for more information at [email protected] for information on the program.

 

Enjoy!
