just have a family swim. Call for Officials We need more parents
to train to become a USAS official.
All you have to do to start is to register with USAS and take a
home-study course, and then start working meets. Contact Rob Schreer h2oref@bellsouth.net for more info. Let me know if you do. |
Divisional
Champs March 26-28
The biggest
meet of the year for GwinAq is the Divisional Champs March 26-28 at UGA. ALL
swimmers need to attend every day and be focused only on swimming for this
one weekend. We have been 2nd
or 3rd each of the last three years and this year there will be a
tight battle for the top 5 spots.
View our entries using the link below. Since
our older swimmers will be tapering down their workouts we will have a
modified practice schedule all next week (see left).

LC Invite Getting Organized
Planning has started
for the Gwinnett Aquatics Long Course Invite May 15-16. This will be held at the Rock Chapel
YMCA and it will be unlike any other meet all year. Rather than getting ribbons, swimmers will have the chance
to win tickets for a moon bounce, paddleboats, and wall climbing. GwinAq will have to provide over 30
volunteers at each session so every family should plan on working both days. In addition we will be selling ads
for the program. If you would
like to buy one, or know someone who would, or want to help sell some contact
Michelle Barskiy. An
informational letter about ads (including MichelleÕs contact info) is
available using the link below. Meet

Promote
Our Spring Programs
April 12 we will
begin our Spring Tune-up stroke clinic for summer league swimmer and our
spring swim lessons. These two
programs (including summer lessons) are our two most important revenue
streams, besides swim team, and are very important in helping us cover our
budget. The yare also the best
programs of their type in the area.
Please help us promote them by letting anyone you know that might be
interested. Take
It Slow Through the Neighborhood
A few of the neighbors have let us know that they are concerned about
how fast some of our members go through the neighborhood. Please remember that we are in a
residential area and take it easy on your way to the pool.
Time
to Start Thinking About Summer
After spring
break the Blue, Gold and Prep practices shift 15 minutes later M-Th to
accommodate our tune-up. Once
school is out, practices will be T, Th, Sat morning and M, W, F afternoon for
Blue/Gold. Senior and Prep will
double 2-3x/wk on MWF and swim at Bransby Y Tuesday and Thursday morning and
Friday afternoon. The most
important meets are 14U State July 15-18, Senior State July 23-25. Those not
going to State will have their last meet July 9-11. The most important time to NOT MISS practice for those
going to State Meet is early July (including the week of July 4). A late July/early August vacation
would be optimal (unless you are hoping to qualify for zones or
Juniors/Nationals). We'll have some
fun activities, including a travel meet for Senior and prep (Gold teamers with qualifying times
can travel with their family). There
will also be open water swims, Six Flags, and other meets. We expect (and
encourage) most of our age group swimmers, in addition to their training at
GwinAq, to participate on a summer league team. It's a great way to show off all you've learned (and
recruit new swimmers to the program).
However this summer Gwinnett County decided to run their championship
the same weekend as the Georgia State meet. State bound swimmers will not be able to participate in
the County meet. For Blue team
we recommend that they alternate swimming a day with GwinAq and a day with
the summer league team. Gold swimmers should swim at least 3-4 and as often
as 6 days weekly with GwinAq and occasionally with their summer league
team. 1-2 days they could do
both (preferably am and pm).
Prep should make all GwinAq workouts and only stop by their summer
league teams to help out and communicate with the coach. Senior swimmers should seriously
consider their ability to add any other commitments to their training in the
summer. If they choose to
participate (or coach) they will be expected to meet all their GwinAq
obligations. As for Swim Camps, they are
great for our younger swimmers and really help them focus, but are not
recommended for older prep or any senior swimmers. Summer Practice Schedule starts May 26 Senior
