Letter From Your Coach 8/9/2024

James Young

Sailfish Swimmers and Parents,

I hope everyone is doing well as we approach our meet tomorrow, August 10th, 2024. Please aim to arrive by 2:45 PM for our warm-up session at 3:00 PM, which will be held at the Flushing YMCA. For more details, please see the EVENTS page on our website for information.

Here is the timeline for the event

Some quick notes, times and dates:

  • I will be holding an informal warm-up session at the New Rochelle YMCA on the morning of August 10th at 7:15 AM. I will be available to answer any questions until 8:30 AM.

  • By Wednesday, August 14th, we will announce the groups for the 2024-2025 season and begin registration. We will also provide the tentative practice schedule dates and times.

  • On Monday, August 12th, we will hold a make-up session for the clinic that was canceled on Friday, August 9th. Everyone who has been attending practice and clinics is invited to participate in this make-up date.

  • On Wednesday, August 14th, we are planning a swim team Pizza Party. Please join us at the pool at 4:30 PM for an hour of fun, followed by pizza at 5:30 PM. We will conclude the event at 6:15 PM, including any awards from the meet.

This summer has been an exciting journey, and I’m looking forward to our continued improvement in the fall. While we started our journey together last year, this is our true beginning as we strive for accolades and accomplishments. We each have individual goals, but as a team, we have both the capacity and the obligation to achieve even more. As we grow, we will continue to enhance our experience in the pool, at the YMCA, and as a community. I am proud of the progress we’ve made so far and am excited about what we can achieve together. Thank you for your ongoing support as we reach for our potential as a team.


Your Coach,

Jace
