YMCA New England’s 2011 Updated

As a quick update and note to swimmers and parents, the YMCA New England Regional Championship will be held (pending final approval) the weekend of March 25th through March 27th.  I have posted the qualifying times for this meet on our swim meet schedule, but you can also find them here: 2011 YMCA New England Regional Qualifying Times.

For those of you who need more information on this meet, this meet either requires the swimmer to meet a qualifying time or participate on a relay team to attend.  We plan on having relay teams for all age groups attend and will communicate those relay teams and individual qualifiers as we near closer to the end of our regular season.

Should anyone have questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to let me know.

Happy Swimming and Go Typhoons!

Hamden North Haven YMCA Swim Team – Last Practice

The Hamden North Haven YMCA Swim Team has their last practice tonight and will travel to the New England Regional Championships this weekend!  Our 13 – 14 year old swimmers will compete on Saturday afternoon where we have one qualified male swimmer and a female relay team (should be very fun to watch).  On Sunday, we have a 9 – 10 male qualifier, 9 – 10 female qualifer, and an 8 and under male qualifier with two other relay teams attending.

We (the coaches) are so excited to see the hard work pay-off for these swimmers as they have been through some intense practices over the past month!  Let’s wish them all well this weekend as they attend their last YMCA Swim Meet of the season!
