Turket 'Meat' Recap!
What a great Turkey ‘Meat’ the 10 & unders had this weekend at the Dynamo Swim Center in Chamblee. The three coaches representing the 16 enthusiastic Stingrays swimmers were Coaches Tonya, Francine, and Leslie. From great dives to legal finishes, the swimmers put forth their best efforts from their many practices. Many personal bests were made at this meet, as well as some first times for some. It is always fun to watch the swimmers race their hardest and know that they are proud of themselves when they know they did a great job!
The Stingrays swimmers demonstrated so many of our core values and golden rules while being at this meet. They were well-behaved and showed respect towards the facility and all of those who ran the meet. So proud of you RAYS! So proud of the many flipturns the coaches saw (especially backstroke!). It was great to see those out of the swimmers, even when they said before their race that they didn’t think they could do it ….. then BAM! AMAZING! Heads were down in freestyle and breaths were to the side. There were two hand-touches in butterfly and breaststroke, and finishes on the back in backstroke. We are so proud of how well the young swimmers did at this ‘Meat’, especially the end for the relays. A lot of cheering on for the teammates and high fives!
Thank you to the parents and family members of the RAYS swimmers for making the drive to Chamblee to support your swimmer and the team! Thank you also to the parents, officials, volunteers, coaches and Dynamo staff for hosting us for this fun meet. We are proud to have such a great group of swimmers displaying the core values of the Stingrays Team: Honesty, Respect, Discipline, Dedication, and Loyalty. Great job swimmers!
