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!

YMCA New England Championships 2010: 3 Days Left

The Hamden North Haven YMCA Typhoon Swim Team officially has 3 days left until they make their way to the YMCA New England Regional Championships in Boston, MA!  This 2009 – 2010 Short Course season marks the first time that the Typhoons have hit double digits in individual qualifiers ranging from the Hamden, North Haven, Bethany, and surrounding communities.  This also allows relay teams from each age group to attend the championship meet!

Travelling to Boston!

As the Hamden North Haven YMCA Swim Team – The Typhoons – head into their last week of taper practice prior to New England’s, here is a quick run-down of how the 2009/2010 short course season went:

  • 43 of 66 team records broken
  • 10 individual swimmers qualified for New England’s
  • 7 relay teams (a total of 28 swimmers) competing in New England’s
  • 13 and 14 year old boys placed 5th overall in Cluster Championships
  • 9 and 10 year old boys placed 3rd overall in Cluster Championships
  • 13 and 14 year old girls placed 7th overall in Cluster Championships

To say the very least, it has been a great season so far with the final meet coming up in Boston, MA!  For those swimmers in the meet, swim hard and fast!

For results, I will be trying to post each evening which events were swum and how each swimmer (and relay team) did with their swims!  So, check back for more information, and more records broken in a week!

Go Typhoons!
