Todd Goins, Troy Holland, Kami Whitney, Charlie Tupitza Jeremy Worst,Julie Dawley, Stephanie Strong, and Heather Finch all have great swims at the 2009Patriot Swim Classic. We had a fantastic meet while breaking or setting 26 new team records! Records were set in all strokes and the IM. As always the Patriot Masters Swim Team did a great job hosting this swim meet and attendance was good. This is a great swimming pool to race in as the water temperature is nice and cool and there is little turbulence. It is one of the last time that the USMS will allow technical suits at a swim meet so there were a lot of those being worn.
Kami had five, Heather two, Stephanie set three, Julie five, Todd two, Jeremy two, and Charlie set five newrecords. The National Guard is currently seeking the whereabouts of Mike the Mail Man as he was not present. I saw a great improvement in streamline starts and turns. Jeremy got under 54 for the 100 free and Heather set lifetime bests in all her events! This is so important in a sprint. Although we haven’t worked much on off strokes I see that we have good butterfliers, backstrokers, and breaststrokers. Our next swim meet will be at our home pool the WARF on November 22 at 1:00 when we take on the Reston Masters Swim Team for a just for fun dual meet. We will follow the high school swim schedule for events but we will be skipping the 500 free and 400 medley relay events. Warm ups will start at 12:30 and we will have a swim social at Kami’s house after the swim meet along with the Reston Masters Team. Simon will be making some of his famous home brew for the party.
