NOTE FROM COACH TALLI

 

Hello Dolfin Families,

 

The swimmers and coaches are settling into a good routine, and I am very happy with the progress that I am seeing. Week 4 is Breaststroke week. Breaststroke is different than the other strokes. Some kids get it immediately, but a lot of swimmers struggle with the kick. We will do a lot of hands-on coaching and muscle development to help them. We will continue to work on the other strokes as well.

 

I have had a lot of questions about Time Trials. It is Saturday, May 20, 8:00-1:00ish. This is a meet for all swimmers to get starting times for the season. The event order is IM, Free, Breast, Back & Fly (no relays). All returning swimmers should swim in all events. I don't expect new swimmers to swim IM unless they feel ready. Much better to have their first race be Freestyle. If you have another commitment that day, your swimmer will get their starting times during the first few meets. It is Ok to enter them in just a few events if they have an early game or have to leave early. I complete all entries once meet entries close. If your swimmer has other commitments, please leave me a note on the entry page so I know what to work around.  If you are not sure how to sign your swimmer in for meets in Team Unify, we will go over that at the New Parent Meeting on Thursday, May 11.

 

It's fun getting to know all the new swimmers but unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to meet many new parents. I look forward to meeting all of you at the new parent meeting and getting to know you during the summer. Once all of our coaches return, I have a little more freedom to connect with parents about their swimmers. Until then, if you have any questions or concerns, please email or text me and I will get right back to you.

 

Have Fun, Swim Fast,

 

Coach Talli
