Coach's Letter Monday February 17, 2025
Good morning, Sailfish!
First, I want to say congratulations to all who competed in D.C. this weekend. Incredible swims, including some new States cuts!
Speaking of States, we are nearing the date quickly and have two meets to allow for more qualifications. Our next meet is Saturday and Sunday, February 22 & 23, at the Bed-Stuy Y in Brooklyn. Some of our swimmers are very close to making the State cut time in their chosen events. This is a perfect opportunity to go for it. If you haven’t been to many meets, again, this is a great opportunity. WE HAVE TO HAVE ENTRIES IN FOR BED-STUY BY TUESDAY FEB 18TH, SO WE NEED TO KNOW TODAY. DON'T HESITATE TO SIGN UP!
The next and last meet to qualify for States is the WFSL Championship on March 2nd, held at Mark Twain. Everyone should be signed up for this meet. All meet information for both meets is available on the TeamUnify site under “EVENTS & COMPETITIONS.” We encourage you to sign up. ENTRIES FOR WSFL ARE DUE TO US NO LATER THAN FEBRUARY 20TH. Let's have a full Sailfish showing at WFSL championships!
The practice schedule sent out earlier today has been amended as follows:
MONDAY, FEB 17 IS OPTIONAL. We will use the time (6:00-7:00 pm) as a “Starts & Turns Clinic.” Everyone can continuously improve on these vital pieces of any race. So, if you or your swimmer want to work on bettering these elements, coaches will be on hand for this

Also, we are looking into ordering team shirts and hoodies, with the hopes of the order going out this week. We will keep you updated as to cost and when we will receive them.
Lastly, for those going to States, please book your hotel this week! Our discount block of rooms expires on Friday, February 21, after which the rooms will be released and will not be discounted. You can book through this link: Marriot Hotel Rochester.
All the coaches are looking forward to another great week of practices as well as another great meet this weekend at Bed-Stuy.
As always, if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to Megan or Jace.
See you at the pool!
Best,
Coach Megan
