The 2010 AmberJax long
course season is off to an amazing start. With the first three
meets under our belts, we have lots to be excited about. Our
swimmers have been swimming fast, racing hard and perfecting good
stroke mechanics.
Announcements
1-
We have been experiencing rapid
growth this season so we have brought on a few new faces to the
coaching staff. First, we are thrilled to have hired Coach Andy
Bergren as a full time coach. Recently, Coach Andy has been
splitting his days between Episcopal High School’s
development office and the AmberJax. This move will allow Andy to
focus entirely on his coaching and we are grateful to have him.
Secondly, we have picked up three of our college swimmers as
coaches for the younger groups. Please take time to congratulate
and welcome Coaches (and current AmberJax) Shannon Blizzard,
Cameron Pfhaler, and Amanda Singleton.
2-
We have our annual Midnight Madness
Meet coming up next week. This meet is now our biggest meet and we
really appreciate all the outstanding parent volunteer efforts that
we have grown to count on. Your help is the reason that our meets
are so highly appreciated by the local swimming community. Please
make sure that you sign up with Susan Schuster soon!

This new meet format
turned out to be exciting and different. The winners of the
decathlon had the lowest total time for all 10 of their events
combined. 45 of our 47 AmberJax had lifetime bests.
