Hello SPAR Families,

School is out for summer! We are starting our 4th week of swim team. Now we get to spend lots of time together. Perfect time for us to get some good workouts in during the morning practices. We will begin to work on breaststroke. It is the most technically difficult stroke to swim. You tube video on Breaststroke technique

You need to tell her that your swimmer is scratching from the meet. If you are scratching due to a non-medical reason, please be aware there is a $5 charge for each event that is missed.

Iron Man: There is a "status" swimmers can earn during the dual meets part of the season. A swimmer needs to compete in all 6 individual events, at least once, without getting a DQ. By accomplishing this, they qualify for Iron Man.
