And now, a message from Lori Foernzler …
Hello MacDolphins!Here we are halfway through the season. Have you seen how far your kids have come? Wow! I stand and watch the kids and am impressed by each one of them. From the seasoned seniors to the brand new 6 and younger, each one has grown leaps and bounds, in and out of the water. They deserve to be commended and so do you.
Here’s the season recap so far. Our first meet was a swim up by 2 positions, and a win. Our second meet was a swim up by 3 positions. Even though this was a loss, it is important to note that the point gap was SIGNIFICANTLY closer than the same meet last year. The latest meet was in division and a win. What does this all mean? To me, it means that our kids are swimming amazingly and improving not only in time but in technique. More importantly the kids are having fun and this comes out in each race. I’m impressed and you should be too.
As we head into the last 3 meets of the season this enthusiam will come along with us. I would ask you all to remind your swimmers that we are guests in someone else’s pool and as guests we need to pick up our area before heading home and continue displaying good sportsmanship. Specifically – we don’t jump in the pool at the end of a meet at someone else’s pool. Cheering, however, is encouraged as is thanking the host team for their hospitality. How we behave will speak more about us as a team than the final score ever will. Without a doubt, an easy achievement for such a terrific group of kids.
See you at the pool!
