Exeter Sprints Hello Exeter parents and swimmers. I want to start by thanking everyone for pitching in to help Exeter Sprints be a successful meet. From a coach, board and swimmers perspective the meet was well run and the kids swam great! Although the size of the meet made the logistics and organizing quite a challenge, everyone stepped up and helped to make the meet go smoothly. Thanks again to our parent volunteers, Board members and coaches. Below is a summary of accomplishments at the meet along with notes from...

Exeter / Executive / Concord YMCA – Tri Meet I would like to start by thanking all of the parent volunteers who helped out at the meet. This was a large league meet and we would not have been able to run it without all of the work put in by our members. To refresh everyone’s memory, Executive is the team that battled us at NHSA States last year which we won by only ½ a point. That trend continued this weekend as Executive edged Exeter by 3 points (878-875)...

Congratulations to Adam Reed who designed the front of the shirt and Bri Thompson who designed the back of the shirt! We will be posting a picture of the shirt shortly.

Reid Sacco Trial /Final Meet The Reid Sacco meet hosted by YNS was the first opportunity of the season for our 11 & over swimmers to participate in a trails/Finals meet. Trial / Final meets provide a unique opportunity for swimmers because it allows them to swim a race twice in one day. This allows them to race in the morning, get feedback from their coach and then come back at night and make corrections to swim faster. It is also good practice for the higher level USA swimming meets...
