2018 TYR ELITE CLASSIC

 
The group of 27 Mako swimmers have just finished a week of great swimming down in Saint Petersburg and should all be on their way home now.  I spent the day down here going through results and notes and will follow up this week.   The highlights of the meet were warming up and watching the sun rise over the bay each day with the wind blowing.  Saturday was the coldest morning out of the four and there was a little hesitation on getting in until I found a hose and turned it on.  Needless to say they moved like rabbits as I am sure the water from the hose was not heated as was the pool.   This group of kids and parents made the team proud with thier sportmanship and support for each other over a grueling four day meet.   BLAKE MADSEN WAON THE HIGH POINT FOR TEN YEAR OLDS AT THE MEET! Saturday night we finished the week off with a pizza party on the beach behind the pool.  The kids played volleyball and just hung out and tried to relax before heading back and getting ready to finish out the school year Thank you parents for all the help and support, and thank you swimmers for representing MAKO so well
