9/23 - Coach Update

Last week was an absolutely great week of swimming for us. Between the dual meet with Arcadia and the Wolves Invitational on Saturday we were able to watch some amazing swimming. So many of you hit personal best times at either meet and all of the automatic and conditional times that many of you received on Saturday was outstanding!! I know personally for me that I couldn't have asked anymore from any of you. We as your coaches are so proud of everyone of you and are really happy about how this team has come together to support each other. We are truly blessed to be part of such an amazing group of athletes. Thank you!!

Just a quick shout out to Kaitlyn Kennedy who placed 9th overall at the Wolves Diving Invite last week. Her score was 267.45 which qualified her to move forward to the State Diving Qualifying meet! Tye Butler placed 15th overall with a new personal best score of 249.95!! Congrats to both of you!

This week we will be swimming against Boulder Creek in Athem. The address of the pool is 41130 N. Freedom Way, Anthem 85086. This should be a fun meet for us as we haven't had the chance to swim against them until this week. Saturday will be the Brophy/Xavier Invite at Phoenix Swim Club. This is always a great invite for us and another chance for state qualifying times!

We will discuss both meets this week with the team at our mandatory practice on Wednesday. 

I also wanted to thank the families and friends who come to our meets to support us. It is greatly appreciated and I know the athletes love having your there cheering them on! Thank you for all of your support.

STRENGTH doesn't come from what you CAN do. IT comes form OVERCOMING the things you once thought YOU COULDN'T.

IT"S OUR TIME!

Your Coaches

9/2/2013 - Coach Laura Update

Happy Labor Day to all,

quick reminder that there is no practice tonight due to the holiday! 

I wanted to remind everyone that you will need to meet in the Athletic building (E building) right after school on Tuesday. Your coaches along with the captains will be handing out your team polos to you prior to getting on the bus to go to our first home meet of the season!! YAY When you arrive at PV Pool you will then receive your team suit. As of Friday afternoon East Valley Sports was still waiting on 8 size 24  and 4 size 30 girls suits to arrive. Nike promised to have them shipped overnight to EVS and I'm hoping that they will arrive on time for Tuesdays meet. Our team swim caps will not be ready in time for our first meet but we will have them for the Brophy/Xavier meet!

Since we are not meeting tonight.. Jenny and Paige will let everyone know on the bus ride over who will be swimming in the meet. Everyone will warm up with the team prior to the swim meet whether you are swimming or not. Remember, we are a team and we warm up together and support the athletes who will be swimming.

We will be having our mandatory practice as usual on Wed. and we will be holding practice on Thurs and Fri. I know some of you will be out of town and have already contacted the coaches regarding this. If you're in town for the 4 day break.. you are expected to be at practice. :)

I hope everyone has enjoyed the last 3 days and I can't wait for our first swim meet of the season!! I look forward to seeing all of you tomorrow and this first meet is our start to showing everyone who the best team is in the state!! We will do this one swim meet at a time! :)

IT WILL HURT. IT WILL TAKE TIME. IT WILL REQUIRE DEDICATION. IT WILL REQUIRE WILLPOWER. You will need to make healthy decisions. IT REQUIRES SACRIFICE. You will need to push your body to its max. THERE WILL BE TEMPTATION. But, I promise you, when you reach your goal, IT'S WORTH IT!!!

IT'S OUR TIME
