We had a great show of improvement in the pool today! 11 people swimming the 400 time trial and 11 new personal bests! Heat #1 had Josh, Riley U, Stevie and Riley. Josh swam extremely well taking down Blair Peters’ three year old team record in a time of 4:22 taking it out in a fast 2:09 through 200. The other three were very close through out the swim in the end Riley U swam 4:48, Stevie 4:50 and Riley M 4:51. Heat #2 had Charles, Roseria, Tyler and Ben. Charles showed some improvement from the last few months with a 4:58. Roseria swam a PB outkicking Tyler who had a breakthrough 20 second PB jumping down from 5:27 to 5:07. Amazing improvements from Tyler who just started swimming in the program 4 months ago and has taken almost a minute and a half of his time! Ben also swam well with a PB! The third and final heat was made up of Ashlyn, Janessa and Darian who all swam new personal bests! Darian dropped another 26 seconds off for a total of 1:42 dropped since he started the program in October. Ashlyn and Janessa dropped 9 and 19 seconds respectively. With improvements like this in January we’re expecting some strong results when it comes time to race in the summer!
Now everyone’s heading into 2 hard build weeks and only 54 days till Tucson!
