Swim Team Update - Week of 12-3-18

Good afternoon everyone,

The 2018-2019 season is underway as the girls jumped to a 2-0 record, the boys 1-1, and some excellent finishes at the 36th Annual Solon Relays against some of the very best competition in the state.  Results are linked below and will be posted to Mentorswimming.com.  Remember to focus on our races and what we can control!  If you find yourself nervous about your race, what you are swimming, who you are swimming against, focus on what you can control!  We can control our start, our reach, our kick, our breathing, our turns, our breakouts!  These items we repeat over and over at practice, and that focus, are where we can make the greatest impact/improvement on our races!

Results: Mentor vs Riverside and NDCL
Results: Mentor vs Solon Relays Invitational

Reminders:
1.) Thank you so much to everyone that helped to time at our first meet!  I can’t thank you enough for how smoothly you helped make it run!
2.) Thank you to everyone that got pay to play fees taken care of!
3.) Lineups will be posted Wed/Thu of this week.  For Friday, all swimmers will be entered.  For Saturday, entries are based on having a qualifying time (last year’s district qualifying times).  There will be an A-flight and B-flight to the meet with finals for those who qualify in the evening.  Please note the start times and bus times below.
4.) For practice absences, please send us a quick email with date and reason (doc appointment, family emergency, sick, sport, etc) so that we can update attendance.  Remember that missed practices should be made up and you have two options to meet your attendance requirement for each day!  A giant thank you to those of you that have been on track with this!
