Message from Coach BrianSaturday’s meet was our second closest meet ever against the Taz! Our team has become stronger over the past four years. This year, the score was EDH 439 – BB 350. Last year, it was EDH 425 – BB 364. In 2012, it was EDH 518 – BB 271. We applaud all of the Cuda swimmers for an outstanding effort and great teamwork. There were 366 improved times: 176 for girls, 145 for boys and 45 for relays. Plus, several records were broken! Congratulations to all…keep it up!
Our next meet is against the Park Terrace Penguins. We beat the Penguins in 2014 for the first time in our history (at our pool), so let’s beat this team a second time in the Cuda Zone!
Swimmers: when you are not racing, please cheer on your teammates during their races. Team spirit is very important!
The coaches are very excited about the rest of the season and how we’re going to do against the other teams and at Champs. In issue #2 of Cuda Zone News, I wrote about goal setting. This is important at the beginning of the season and all the way through to Champs. If you’ve already improved your times or accomplished some early goals, set new ones and work hard to achieve them. Remember that there are time goals, technique goals, strategic goals, mental goals and emotional goals.
A reminder to swimmers that you can request to be in certain events – and the coaches will TRY to honor those requests (no guarantees). You can make your request online (in the notes section when you commit) or send an email to the coaches.
Tips from the Coaches:Have a Great Work EthicBe reliable with good attendance at practices and meets.Strive to do your best with hard work and effort. Show consistency in effort from day-to-day.Show dedication and determination.Have a positive attitude.
