MARLINS OCTOBER INVITE

Greenwich YMCA

50 East Putnam Ave - Greenwich

 

October 10 – 12, 2025

 

This is the first meet of the season. We are looking to see how the swimmers are executing their skills.  This includes, yet, not limited to: body position, streamlines, execution of turns – in and out of the walls, maintaining stroke technique and overall stamina.  In that we are still building the base/foundation for the season, seeing where are now is important as we conclude Week 5.  I know swimmers will be focused on times.  They should take a back seat to what was mentioned above.  Focus is on execution and details. Remember this year’s theme:

PROGRESS OVER PERFECTION

 

Swimmers are to have their Water Rat TEAM SUIT and TEAM CAP.  Please be sure you are prepared with your Water Rat Team Apparel.
