Last weekend, Skyla (13) went to her first swim meet since swim camp in Fairbanks. She placed 2nd in her 500yd freestyle heat, plus 1st in her heat for 100yd freestyle, 100yd breaststroke, and 50yd freestyle. This is the first time, that she has done so well at a swim meet! Overall, she placed 5/7/8/9th place for her age group. You made a significant impact on her physical and mental swimming abilities. You pushed her just enough. You paid attention to her and corrected her when needed. You were clear in your instructions and expectations. The drills you used were extremely helpful and (I can’t say this enough) significantly improved her strokes!! With this newfound success at the last swim meet, her overall confidence has soared! For the first time, she actually enjoyed competing in a race. Thank you for being a part of our lives for 4-days this summer and sharing your knowledge. – Karen in Fairbanks, AK
