COACH’S CORNER
MEET INFO
DFAC WINTER PENTATHLON RECAP
What a day last Saturday! We had a big group, and our swimmers swam a large number of events in a small amount of time, and they swam with strong motivation and determination! Coaches were happy to see the older swimmers assist the younger swimmers with events and cheer them on during their swims! Way to go, Wave!
Swimmer of the Meet: Adeline Wendlandt!
Adeline cheered on younger swimmers, and she led other Wave swimmers in doing the same! Great job, Adeline!

NEW NEWS!
PRACTICE ADJUSTMENTS
Reminder of upcoming no practice dates (due to meets & HS Boys Swim):
1/25*, 1/28, 2/1-2/2, 2/9**
*No practices on 1/25–practices will instead take place FRIDAY, 1/24 as follows:
PURPLE, BRONZE: 6-7pm
SILVER: 7-8:30pm
GOLD, SENIOR B, SENIOR A: 7-8:45pm
**NEW: no practices on 2/9–2/8 was previously listed as a no-practice day due to HS Boys Meet. Wave practices on Super Bowl Sunday traditionally have very low attendance, so 2/9 practices are canceled, and instead we have secured Lodi HS for practices on 2/8!
SATURDAY, 2/8 PRACTICES WILL TAKE PLACE AT LODI HS as follows:
SILVER, GOLD, SENIOR B, SENIOR A: 12:00-1:15pm
PURPLE, BRONZE: 1:15-2:00pm
