Short Course Season - Recap
So the short course season is now over...and it was a better one for us that I had anticipated it would be. I really felt the twins would get a few state cuts, but that would be the extent of what they would be able to accomplish. As it turns out, they got a bunch of state cuts, and even managed to get a few sectional cut times (which I figured we had no shot at). This sets them up to have a very strong short course season next year...
Brett's dedication to swimming, which started in the Summer, has also paid off, as his times and strokes have improved significantly. In fact, he has passed the personal bests of quite a few teammates that were well ahead of him coming into the season. He was very disappointed that he didn't get any state cuts in short course, but he has positioned himself to challenge for the breast cuts at least in long course.
In case you were curious...here is the amount of improvement from 12/13 to 13/14, by stroke for each kid (displayed in seconds) :
