Hello USC swimmers and families! It seems like we just started our second year at the Twinsburg Fitness Center, and it is half over already. It's amazing how fast the time goes. Our short course season has come to a close, but the long course season in already in full swim. We have three swimmers attending the Speedo Sectional Championships in Indianapolis starting next Thursday and running though Sunday. Amanda Knapp is swimming all 6 of the events she qualified in, while Amber Kovach and Maria Eidam are swimming 4 events. Jodi Turk and Sarah Litt are also attending (both from the US site). Good luck to the 5 of you as you start our long course season off right! Practices are still being run as usual, with the intro group swimming from 5:00-6:30 and the advanced group from 6:30-8:30. The optional dryland workouts for the advanced group will begin again on Monday, March 29 from 6:00-6:30. If you are going to participate in these, please be ready to go at 6:00!
That's all I have for now, see you at the pool!

A Championship State of Mind
Hello all,
So it has again been way too long since I have updated this, so good thing it is not part of my job description! Well the Championship season has started, and it has started well! We had a bunch of swimmers swim yesterday at Bronze Champs, and we had probably 90% best times overall, including numerous event wins and lots of Silver Cuts! Zach Halawa won 3 events, achieving BB cuts in most of his events! Orange swimmer Isabel Ergun also won numerous events, posting B times or better in everything. Taylor Steele was also an event winner. In total, USC won 13 of the days events, which is impressive considering we were not represented in a good number of events. We had many others place in the top 8 of their events which is great! Let's keep up the good work and carry this momentum through Silver Champs this weekend and Gold Champs the weekend after that!
See you at the pool!

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to everyone! I hope you had a relaxing break and are looking forward to getting back to school... and I'm sure the parents say yes while the kids run and hide! Trust me, my students did not like being back this morning. We have about 2 and a half months until Champs are upon us, so we need to keep up the hard work! We have lots of meets this month with lots of us swimming in them.
This weekend is the New Year's Splash in Rocky River. I will not be at this meet because I will be in Nashville, TN for my cousin's wedding, but Roderick, Charlie and Jen(or some combination thereof) will be there. Also this weekend is Quads which Pete will be attending in Indianapolis. Amber Kovach and Jordan Delgross were selected to attend this meet along with 4 other USC swimmers. Good luck to everyone!
We have a normal practice schedule this week, but a modified schedule every other week this month due to Twinsburg High School home swim meets. Check the team calendar on www.universityswimclub.org for the complete practice schedule. We miss 5 practices this month, and with only 20 practices a month, that is alot! Make sure we get to practice as much as possible!
That's all I have for now. See you at the pool!
