With five weeks of the swim season under our belt, it was time for the swimmers to have an opportunity to get up and race and the parents to get back into the swing of Duquesne Swimming at the annual Blue/Red Meet. This meet was a great opportunity for us to really get a look at the new swimmers, see what they are capable of and to build upon what we see. The format was a high school format with all of the 400 IMr's doing all of the stroke events.
The meet was highly contested with several swimmers registering some new All-Time Top Tens, one pool record and some personal best times. Although the Red team was the favorite, in the end, the Blue Team, coached by me, won out over the Red Team, coached by Coach Bocci, 1,331-1,089.
The Blue Team will have bragging rights for the season and can parade around the pool deck with the chalice that goes to the winning team.
We officially kick off the season in two weeks as we travel to Buffalo to take on The University of Buffalo. Hopefully we'll see some of you there.
See you around the pool,
Dave
Thanks Coach for posting this as it's a great way to keep up with the team when you can't always get there!
