It was a happy day at Swimcrest today. We can feel that Spring is getting ready to arrive, despite the temperatures still being in the 20s. There was plenty of time for silliness. And for practicing somersaults. And playing with boats. And for one 7-year-old, swimming longer than she ever has. And looking STRONG! Time … Continue reading
I have few words to truly capture how grateful I am to you, the students I am lucky enough to work with, and for all you bring to my life. But you know me by now. Even when I say there are few words, I always manage to find a whole heck of a lot … Continue reading
So much fun swimming happening here lately. Have I mentioned that I love my job?
I have been totally remiss in offering congratulations to all of the fantastic athletes racing these past few weeks. First, some great performances at the Check for Change Triathlon in late August. Congratulations to Kevin Mepham, 9th male finisher overall and 2nd in the Men’s 50-54 age group, and Lisa Chase, 2nd in the Women’s … Continue reading

And came in 2nd in the Clydesdale division. And Eddie Romero … Continue reading
So much quality swimming these past two weeks. Open water training, blowing bubble learning, triathlon prepping, friend hanging, Grandma time fun having, and a whole lot more. It’s been a good one. Hope you are having some great water time too!
At his second lesson, a previously fearful 11-year-old (as in the day before kind of fearful)did this. And it was awesome. And I can’t wait to see what he does next.
In all honesty, it’s the last few weeks at Swimcrest. Good things are happening. Some learned to be buoyant and let go of their fears about the water. An 8-year-old swam across the 25-yard pool for the very first time. So did this incredible 47-year-old. This swimmer took 8 strokes off of her 25-yard freestyle. … Continue reading
I’ve already given you some reporting on this year’s Mashpee Superswim but it’s clear a more detailed race report is necessary. For my family, the Mashpee Superswim has always been a bit of a gamble, and questions arise each and every year. What will the weather hold? Would the swim be postponed, or cancelled? Would … Continue reading
What a great weekend for Swimcrest swimmers! On Saturday, the 21st, swimmer Kyle Mayer competed in his FIRST SWIM COMPETITION OF ANY KIND, and turned in a fantastic performance at this year’s Mashpee Superswim. You might remember Kyle from a post I did in December when he swam his first continuous mile. This time, Kyle … Continue reading
