Life Time Oregon Swim Team Weekly Update: 2/18/2024

Danny Weinberg

Hello Swim Team!

We had another fun developmental meet this past Friday!  A big thank you to all of the parents who volunteered their time to help provide an awesome experience for our team members. 

President’s Day Practice

We will maintain our normal schedule on Monday, 2/19- President’s Day. 

Developmental Meet Recap

It was awesome to watch many of our swimmers challenge themselves with some longer events!  As I mentioned at the meet, when we started the team back in June, we only offered 25 yard races at our meets.  At this meet we had many athletes choose to swim 100’s and 200’s!  This was great to see and shows amazing growth!

Special recognition goes to Emily Nelson and Erica Nelson who swam their first meet! 

We also want to recognize Aurelia Anderson and Noa Chapman for swimming their first 200 Freestyle. 

Top Improvements:

  1. Bella Jones- Dropped 9.5 seconds in the 50 breast (-16.78%)
