Coaches said: 

 

Clark: Coach Meredith wrote, “ I chose Clark as he has improved so much this year, and has become a much more confident swimmer.  He always comes to practice with a giant smile on his face, and always wants to be the first person in the water. He always finds a way to make practice fun!”

 

Tesla: Coach Andrea wrote, “ I chose Tesla because she has improved so much since day one. She is always at practice. She works hard everyday and always comes in with a smile on her face!” 

 

Morgan: Coach Emma wrote, “Morgan comes in everyday ready to swim, she is always pushing herself to become a better swimmer. She is constantly asking what she can do to improve her strokes and what she needs to do to continue moving up. She is always sure to make everyone in the group feel welcomed and has a smile on her face the entire practice no matter what.” 

 

Annika: Coach Elizabeth wrote, “Annika always comes to practice ready to work her hardest! She achieved all 10 divisional cuts as a 10&under this spring and achieved 11-12 cuts (as a 10 year old) with her amazing time drops at divisionals. Her drive to be her best is constant day in and day out but what is even more impressive is her drive to help her teammates to be their best as well!”

 

Olivia: Coach Hannah wrote, “I choose Olivia because of her great attitude and willingness to try anything new. She asks questions every day and is always looking for the extra edge on her stroke technique. Olivia is also one of our wonderful lessons instructors and is a great example for RAC swimmers of all ages.”

 

Gallagher: Coach Patti wrote, “Moved from Silver and has successfully integrated into Senior Prep 2. Attendance, hard work and great attitude have made all the difference.”

 

Lila: Coach Hannah wrote, “I chose Lila because of her consistent great attitude. She comes to practice ready to work hard and is always up for a challenge. Lila is a great role model for other swimmers in the group and has become a leader for RAC and NAHS.”
