Congrats to Jared Klika. Jared is swimming at the Y National meet in Atlanta, GA. Jared has swam 3 events already in the meet on Tuesday & Wednesday. All three of those races produced Lifetime Best times but not fast enough to qualify for the Finals at night. Well this morning Jared dropped 2.56 in his 200 Back (2:13.66) and finished 19th which will put in in the consolation final tonight. I would imagine this race will happen around 6pm our time. Click on the "Y" logo on the right...

Congrats to Jared. A lifetime best time of 2:12.50 and he moved up to 17th place at the Y National meet just a few minutes ago. Award ceremony up in a few minutes. Jared will be on the podium. Also note the gentleman in the red coat at the awards ceremonies is Clyde Truttman who was the GB YMCA swim coach before Coach Dave.

Hello Everyone, Please check both the Lake Country swim team & FCY swim team websites. They will probably post information before I can post it on Thursday afternoon. Lake Country already has the session report and Psyche sheet for 400 IM & 400 Free. These events were limited to the top 32 entries. (This did not effect us). FCY will have you print your own heat sheets too. I would imagine that both meets will have warm-up assignments too. Please look for those. And please plan to be early for...

John swam his 200 Breaststroke yesterday morning. Heat 7 Lane 6. They actually have a clerk of course where all swimmers must report. They call it the ready room. From there they bring a heat at a time up to the pool deck and then parade them out before their heat swims. I have attached a picture of John behind the blocks and getting ready for his warm-up in the main pool. John had trouble getting loose this week. Even with lot's of stretching and long easy stretching he still...
