Swimming fast as a Turtle by MG

After practice this evening it was off to the University of Maryland. Got to the hotel no problem . The hotel is right across from an IHOP, as some of you know.....a MG favorite....anyone looking for me, try the IHOP. As I was checking in, I see coach Kim and Carrigan, and yes.....they arrived Camp Tanguay.....the entire family in the Tanguay Truckster.....this hotel will never be the same. I got to my room as fast as I could

Worked on some relays this evening.....WSY has almost 90 swimmers at this fun meet, so relays are BIG POINTS. It is always an honor to swim on one of the WSY relays. Some of the events, we have 3 relays. This meet will have about 1,000 swimmers, and it is in a 50 meter pool (swum on 2 courses). The meet moves very fast, and we usually see some very fast times. The afternoon session is for the 9-10's and 11-12's and those kids not only swim fast, but have fun socializing. Actually come to think of it, the 13-14's and Seniors have a great time socializing as well. This meet also allows WSY and NYAC swimmers to come together as one group and compete together, similar to what we do at Districts, States, and Nationals at the end of the year.

I will update the website at the end of each day with full results, as their are no real-time results at this meet. I am really looking forward to seeing some fast swimming as everyone has been working very hard over the holidays, and now it is time to pay off.......I will be in touch tomorrow, and I am sure Coach Guy will write something as well.....It is now 11:15pm, and I see Starbucks is open until 11:30pm here, so I am now off for my late night java......then up and out the door on Saturday at 5:30am.
