Ghosts, Goblins and Synchro Swimmers

Hello!

This weekend we had a wonderful experience with teaching a clinic here at Wheaton. Intermediate and Age group swimmers from different teams around Massachusetts spent the day with us as we helped the girls improve on their skills. We went over skills such as extension, routine drills, and counting figures.

We started the day off with some stretching and asking each girl what they would like to learn from the clinic. Throughout the day the girls did various egg beatering and sculling drills as well as figure stations and routine work. The girls were split into groups and taught a routine to swim in front of their parents later in the day. At the end of a successful synchro filled day, they were put to the challenge of swimming each routine various times and did fantastic job!

The team is not only working hard in the pool but also in the classroom and with mid-term exams. Although we were working on managing our time the second we hit the pool deck our troubles went away and we had many successful skill building practices.

We are all so excited for the Balfour costume dance on Friday after practice. To prepare for Halloween each floor in Meadows North Dorm set up their hallway like a haunted house where the children from Norton were able to trick-or-treat which got us in the Halloween spirit.

Happy Trick or Treating!
