First week is a Great week
Hello to All Barton Creek West Parents and Swimmers,
Our first week in the pool and on the deck was so exciting. It was a pleasure to meet and get to know all of the swimmers (yes, I'm still learning names, but should have them down by the end of next week. Iam surrounded by wonderful Asst. coaches that are so caring, on time, and excited to get into really cold water and work with your children each and every day. Iam also so fortunate to be able to work alongside Coach Ryan. I have known Ryan and his family for a very long time and to be able to work with him is very special. I would also like to thank everyone for all of your kind and caring words of encouragement both to me, our staff, the board members and to your children.
Our first week, we concentrated on leg drive for free, building their confidence and stamina and the arms of free and breathing. Each day the swimmers came in ready to tackle the next task and boy, they came ready! Everyday was a new day and we challenged the swimmers with new drills and we added more laps, but made sure they left with smiles on their faces and ready for the next day!
Friday was a FUN [email protected] filled with 4 square (hand eye coordination and how to win and lose with grace, plus team building) we did some relays, girl vs boy challenge and ended with treats.
Thanks to our board because they make sure that this team runs seamlessly throughout the summer.
Reminders-

Again thanks to all for a great first week!!!!
Coach Janet
