Week 10 Update- 4/5
Hello Swimming and Diving Families-
Spring break is upon us, which is a great time to recharge batteries and focus on your sport while there are no classes in session. Once we return there are only 2 weeks left of the regular season. It is hard to believe it has gone by so quickly. Please read this weeks update and be sure to reach out to a coach if you have questions.
Homestead Meet Results
Both girl’s teams had strong showings. The boys swam well, with many PR’s, but fell to a perennially strong Homestead team. Divers competed on Friday and are unfortunately not included in the results, but their scores will not affect the outcome of the meet. Scores and results are below.
Fundraiser Success!
We have had a tremendous response to the fundraiser, with 92% of the team securing at least one donation. Thank you to all who contributed and shared with family and friends. The final total was $18,611... a record amount raised! While we did not reach our goal, we made great progress toward purchasing lane lines that will be used exclusively during the swim season. We will also be able to fund our end of season banquet for all athletes!
Varsity Boys brought in the most total donations, with $4750. Special shout out to the following athletes!
Most Total Donations
🥇Gold- Liam Tran ($900)
🥈Silver- Mathijs Dirven ($690)
🥉Bronze- Team Kersten ($650 EACH!)
Most Individual Donors
🥇Gold- Liam Tran (13)
🥈Silver- Mathijs Dirven and Maila Postek (8)
🥉Bronze- Eduardo Lasso and Xander Von Matt (7)
Spring Break Practice
The expectation has always been that if you are healthy and in town, you are at practice. Taking a week off of practice with only a short period of time before league trials and finals will be detrimental to your overall success. Spring break practice for both JV and Varsity SWIMMING will be from 10-12 pm Monday- Saturday (Saturday optional but advised for JV). All DIVERS will practice from 11 am - 1 pm.
Swimmers who are not at practice but have a pool available should be getting in the water as much as possible. Below are sets that have been designed for Varsity but can be easily modified for JV by increasing the interval times and/or decreasing the number of sets.
Spring Break Focus Practice
There is a focus practice EVERY DAY during spring break. This is a great opportunity to get some targeted help!

* * * * * * Remember to sign up no later than 8 am of the day of the practice. * * * * *
Please remove your name from the sign-up list by 8 am the day of the practice if you are not going to attend. We have had far too many people sign up and not attend the Focus Practice.
