Coach Parker's Blog #1-6/14
Hi Sully Family!
We’ve had an amazing first couple of weeks, and I’ve loved seeing all of the new faces joining the team this season! I hope all of our swimmers and parents are enjoying these last few calm days before the excitement of summer swim really kicks into high gear.
Time Trials were a huge success! The swimmers were well-behaved, did a fantastic job listening to the adults in Clerk of Course, and I was so impressed with how clean the team areas were left afterward. Thank you to everyone who helped make the morning run so smoothly! Time Trials are such a great opportunity for our newer swimmers to get a feel for how a swim meet runs before the season officially begins.
We have a busy and exciting week ahead! On Monday, we’ll have make-up Time Trials so coaches can finalize times for Saturday’s A Meet, along with Mini Stars evaluations on Tuesday for our youngest swimmers. Wednesday is our final afternoon practice before we switch to mornings, and we hope to see everyone at our Mellow Mushroom fundraiser that evening! Then on Thursday, morning practices officially begin—yay!
This Friday is our first Pep Rally, and Saturday is our first A Meet. The excitement of summer swim is officially here, and we can’t wait to kick off the season together!
If there’s one piece of advice I could give every swimmer, whether you’re brand new or have been with Sully for years, it’s to cheer loudly and not worry about who’s watching. Summer swim is the most fun when you fully embrace the experience and make the effort to enjoy every moment. Cheer at A Meets, cheer at Pep Rallies, cheer at B Meets, and cheer for your teammates. Not only will it make the season more memorable for you, but it’s what makes Sully feel like one big team and one big family.
The coaches and I have so many fun things planned for this season, and we are so excited for everything that’s ahead. We can’t wait to really dive into the summer with all of you.
GO SULLY! 💙🏊
