Hello-

​

PRACTICE – Normal practice this week—remember Fridays are 3:30-4:30 for Groups 1 & 2, 4:30-6:00 Group 3.

​

ZONE 3 RECAP – Congrats to Tuna Nation! Thanks to all of those who helped time, officiate (Lisa Butcher!), and ran the Hospitality. We really show our stuff when we are firing on all cylinders!

We took home the first place trophy in a pretty close meet. NBA 1152, Santa Rosa 1028

We had 4 new record board swims—all in the 6-under boys category: Brooks Canori smoked a 50 Back 20.84 (2nd), and Eli Kim blasted on to the scene with 3 record board swims 25 Free 17.61 (2nd), 25 Back 22.09 (3rd), and 25 Breast 25.08 (3rd).

NBA had great relays in all age-groups, and it was a fun weekend overall!

Cameron Forbes and William Canori both took home High-Point Trophies for 10-unders, while Chase Forbes, Sophia Swanson, and Dylan McDonald all were in the Top 5 scoring for their age-groups.

Nice Job Tuna!

​

ARIZONA – We will be working on Arizona entries this week. Please let me know which events your swimmer would like to compete in—and if they are planning on being there all 3 days of competition. FYI, at this meet, they are somewhat lax on qualification times for 50’s and 100’s, but they won’t budge a .01 on the 200’s and up. If you aren’t sure, I can help!

​

UPCOMING MEETS -

-2/1 Rafael Racquet Club Meet in San Rafael. A great novice level meet (done by noon!) Sign-Up

-2/8,9 Vallejo C/B/A+. A sanctioned meet for those not going to Arizona. No qualification standards, but swimmers must be registered with Pacific Swimming. Entries now online

-2/14-16 ARIZONA 2020. Current entrant list below.

THANK YOU to all the parents who helped out with timing, hospitality, and supporting our swimmers this weekend at the Zone 3 Champs! We had an awesome meet and it was very cool to see some of our youngest tuna swimming alongside our older tuna.
The Vallejo Meet is still open for those interested. We are pushing this meet mainly for those who cannot go to the Arizona meet the following weekend. If that is your swimmer make sure you get your entries in ASAP
We use snorkels, paddles, and fins regularly in practice. Head to our team page on Swim Outlet to grab that and other team gear!
I have lessons available until mid-February!
Below is the list of confirmed Arizona swimmers – I will be starting the entries process with the Pre Senior swimmers this week at practice. If you are not on the list and want to be – PLEASE EMAIL ME ASAP! We have a group of 44 swimmers going so far – it will be a blast!!!
