November 3 - Mariners at Ridgedale Our first meet of the season went very well with many good swims. The beginning was a little chaotic as the coaches struggled to adjust to the change of having to add heat and lane assignments to each swimmers arm. Once warm-ups were done and the meet begin all seemed to settle into a rhythm. We had 12 swimmers who were competing in their first YMCA meet. Everyone made it their events. Most memorable coaching moment: The coach congratulated one swimmer on a great swim showing a huge improvement. The swimmer commented back to the coach : I guess all that yelling you have been doing to point my toes and kick finally paid off huh". The Mariners displayed very good sportsmanship by cheering on their teammates and competitors, by staying in the water until all had finished and congratulating competitors. 25 swimmers achieved Mariner of the Meet.
