Another swim and rock has come and gone. We hope that you all enjoyed yourself over the three days of racing. I know that swim and rock was always my daughters favorite meet of the year.
It was great watching a lot of you doing the things that we worked on in practice and doing at such a high level during the races. Our walls are getting stronger with each meet and we will continue to put a lot of emphasis on them. The effort on the UW was outstanding and we will keep doing our little "perfect set" as wee move through our journey. Do I expect you to get to the 15M mark? No not at this stage but what I do expect is that the effort is there to get better off every wall. A lot of the UW is a mental block. That mental block is "being comfortable when your uncomfortable", in other words, being uncomfortable underwater.
We saw a lot of swimmers post "personal bests" throughout the weekend and you all should be very proud of your hard work. A lot of swimmers got to experience the feeling of qualifying for finals and having the chance to get a second swim ion totally different environment. Congratulations to all of you who swam finals. We also had swimmers try some "scary events" for the first time and who performed well. Shout outs to Anna Helms (400IM), Owen Hill, Katie Baldwin and Nick Harris (200 Fly), who all swam these events for the first time at PRELIMS but also returned in the evening to see if they could do it twice. They Did and it was AWESOME you all.
GREAT JOB LAST WEEKEND
