Thanks for a great first meet at Minster! It was so fun to see our swimmers start competing and I was super proud of them for trying new things, making it to events, and giving it their all! Summer is all about learning and having fun - I promise speed comes after form & fun. Also, a HUGE thank you to everyone who volunteered during the meet - I appreciate you so much!

• Meet Results
• An "x" next to a result means the swimmer couldn't score - our league allows only 2 swimmers per team to score and they must swim in the first heat. The more times we get, the easier it is to place swimmers into the correct heat. 
• DQ stands for disqualified - meaning the swimmer made an error in how they swam the stroke or how they finished (two hand touch required for fly & breast). DQs are going to happen and that is totally ok! I would rather see swimmers give it a try and get DQ'd so we can work on the stroke than have everyone avoid strokes. 
• We will have ribbons for places 1-6 & participation (10 & under) available for those who competed at Minster during practice this week. 
• Looking to improve? We live in a world full of technology and one of the best ways to use this technology to our advantage is to learn! Check out videos of stroke technique on YouTube with your swimmer - the more they see it correctly, the easier it is for them to pick it up in the water. 

Great job with the first meet & remember to get signed up for Botkins by Monday night! Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
