Meets Jan 15–18!!!
WSST had a great showing this weekend! Not only at the Grand Prix meet in Long Beach, but also at the Novice meet at the Mission Valley YMCA! Swimmers competing at all levels! Outstanding!
Here’s the email I received from Kayla about the Novice meet:
The meet went really well! Some confusion and kinks at the beginning but it worked out really well! The kids received a ribbon right after they swam with their time on it. Everyone swam well, no upsets! Biggest surprise was Cary! He really impressed me with his speed and stroke technique. Great swim! Many of the swimmers it was their first meet, hopefully they are encouraged to go to more!

Ben Weston and Michael Cohn competed at the Grand Prix in Long Beach. Amazing meet! Michael swam 4 events recording 3 best times, 5 team records, a new AAA time in the 100 back, etc. but several Olympians were also competing! I video taped some of the swims and will get those on my computer as soon as I can. Swim Network was also doing a live webcast! Check out their website for race videos, interviews, recaps, etc. swimnetwork.com.
