1. Words from Coach Mark
Dear Nadadores Team,
Thank you to all the swimmers, officials, and volunteers who attended the Patrick Moore Memorial Relay Meet. Alongside the USMS Relays, we enjoyed a series of Family Fun Relays throughout the event—what a blast!
We hope to see you back next year—bring your friends!
It is with a heavy heart that I share the sad news of Jeanne Little’s passing at the age of 87 at her home in San Clemente last Sunday. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family. Jeanne will be deeply missed. Rest in peace, Jeanne.

5. Coach Noah Swim Tips
Butterfly and Breaststroke
- High Hips: Ensure your hips stay high in the water to reduce drag and maintain a streamlined position. This helps in efficient propulsion.
- Chin Tucked: Keep your chin tucked to maintain a neutral head position. This helps in aligning your body and reducing resistance.
- Press the Chest: Focus on pressing your chest down into the water during the stroke. This action helps in lifting your hips and legs, contributing to a more effective stroke.
Backstroke
- Keep Chin Back: Maintain your chin back and your head still. This helps in keeping your body aligned and your hips high, which is crucial for a smooth and efficient backstroke.
Freestyle
- Chin Tucked, Look Down: Keep your chin tucked and your eyes looking down towards the bottom of the pool. This position helps in maintaining a streamlined body position and reducing drag, allowing for a more efficient stroke.
Mission Viejo Nadadores Masters
…a lifetime of…
Challenge... Achievement... Recognition!
