Regionals in Goodyear

What a GREAT weekend we had in Goodyear, AZ!! 18 kids made Regional cuts and headed off to the beatiful YMCA pool in Goodyear for this year's Regional meet. We only took 10 kids last year...so our team has improved a LOT over the year! Way to go kids!

The results are finally in and we had a FANTASTIC 72% personal best times!! WOW!

To lead off the meet, our 11-12 girls put on an exciting and wonderful show with their FIRST place win in the 200 Free Relay!! That got everyone fired up and we had a TON of best times on Friday.

However, that night we were up WAY too late eating dinner at Macaroni Grill. The food was great (after a 2½ hour wait!!) but we were all exhausted and we stumbled back to our hotels to go to bed.

Saturday most of the kids were exhausted, and it showed. It also taught them how important a good night's sleep is when you're out of town at swim meets. But, there were some good swims and again, we had a great time watching the relay!

Sunday was better, and again the relay team did an outstanding job getting everyone excited for the morning's events.


A special thank you to Vicky Timms for helping to secure the cool t-shirts for this year's Championship Team!! They turned out to be FANTASTIC!

Also, a big thank you to Mrs. Kaba for putting together goodie bags for all the kids...we just LOVED the squirt guns Leigh!! /end sarcasm. Haha...at least they weren't kazoos!!

Altogether it was a fabulous meet.

Thank you to all the kids for a great job in the water, and to all the parents for your continued support of the team and your committment to your kids.

They may not say it very often...but without their parents the team wouldn't be nearly as successful. So, you have my gratitude and appreciation.
