Notes from Paton Well done everyone on the meet last weekend (June 26-28)!
We're adding a new Novice time slot!!! Due to the rapid growth of our Novice group (a great thing!), I’d like to add another time slot for our Novice swimmers. It will impact the two upper levels, but they can handle it. The new time slot will still be on Monday and Wednesday. It will start at 4:30 and run until 5pm. By adding another session for Novice swimmers, we can have a better coach to swimmer ratio and allow for more individual attention. So, we will have one group swim from 4-4:30 and then another group will swim from 4:30-5 (this is the new time slot) both groups on Monday and Wednesday. Both groups still come at the same time on Friday, 4-5. This will begin this Monday, June 29th. In order to balance the two Novice groups, swimmers will be assigned to one group or the other. We want to avoid switching back and forth for consistency of the program. We are looking to have 15-20 swimmers in each group with our two coaches. Please let me know if you’re interested in moving to this time slot.
Cal State Games are coming to our pool!!! The Cal State Games are being held at our pool! Entries are due to me on or before Monday, June 29th. Entry fee is $30, please make checks payable to WSST. Event limit of 4 events. I’ll put everything together and send in the Hytek file.
2009 Swimming is Youth only, but 2010 will include Open & Masters WHEN / WHERE TIME / SCHEDULE
30 minute lunch break at discretion of Meet Referee

MEET RESULTS Take a look at all meet final results on our Team Stats website.
SBA AB Long Course Meet, June 26-28 This past weekend, we had 16 athletes compete in 74 races at the South Bay Aquatics’ AB long course meet. Hytek Power Point Champions
Janet Evans Invitational I’m just getting back from a great weekend of meets! Michael Cohn and family braved the Memorial Day weekend traffic to travel up to Irvine to compete in the Janet Evans Invitational. What a great experience! Several collegiate teams were in attendance as well as many Olympians! Fun to watch the best in the world compete! And Michael was in the water with them! On Saturday, Michael competed in the 200 free and 200 back. He was just off of best times in both events finishing 86th in the free and 54th in the back. Today was just the 100 free. Michael dropped over ½ second to earn his first long course Sectional Championship time. Sectionals are in Clovis this July. The time also was another Zone Championship time for Michael, giving him 4 and an automatic spot for the Zone team competing in Hawaii this August. The 100 Free is also a team record.
High School CIF Championships While we were in Irvine, the High School CIF Championships were being held here in San Diego. Two of our swimmers, Troy Le Loup and Tyler Woods represented La Jolla High School at the meet. Congratulations to them and the La Jolla boys team! CIF Champions! Their 400 free relay also earned All-American Automatic times, ranking them amongst the best in the nation!

Wu Family Update, May 2009
Dear Mr. Paton McClung, Ms. Kay Cohn and WindnSea Swimming Team Members:
See below some of my family pictures which San Diego Bev and Glenn Photography took for us for free, They told us "start new pictures, start new life". I would like to share these pictures with you and let you know that my family is doing fine after we move to the new rental place, even this rental place is much smaller than my original house, but we can survive with it, and we will stay here until my house is rebuild. My two girls are doing fine now and I am starting to buy some clothes for them using the money you donated to us. I greatly appreciate your help and support. Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Sunny Zhuang Wu
