Happy Tuesday!
I hope you all have enjoyed the beautiful weather across our area for the Memorial Day weekend. I've attached the results from the Scarlet meet. AG1 girls rocked, getting 73% personal best times overall! Way to go, LADIES! Many seed times on the heat sheets at the Scarlet meet were converted, creating confusion and unnecessary reactions because swimmers didn’t know their best times. In the future, please remind your athletes to look at their best times before their races so that we can celebrate their successful swims together. I also attached the preliminary AG1 entries and info packet for the Summer Fun meet. I will make adjustments to it after the Summertime Classic meet. Please let me know if you have any questions or changes. Here is the weekly practice schedule: https://www.longislandswimming.com/liac-main-calendar.html AG1 practice schedule has no changes for the rest of the week. We will have dryland from 5:30 to 6:00 pm on Wednesday, 5/31. Please remind your athletes to bring yoga mats. Have a great week, Gabi Sofia

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. SWIM FAST! SWIM LIAC! Gabi Sofia  Happy Monday!
Last weekend we honored all of the swim moms who selflessly support, encourage, and sacrifice so their swimmer can excel in the sport. You're always there with a warm towel, snack, and just what your kids need to hear to get back on the blocks. We know how hard you work to support your swimmer, do well at your own work... manage everything else in your life! The AG1 practice schedule is regular this week: Mon. 5/8: Dryland 5:45 - 6:15 pm, Swim 6:30 - 8:30 pm Tue. 5/9: 4:00 - 6:15 pm Wed. 5/10: Dryland 5:30 - 6:00 pm, Swim 6:15 - 8:15 pm Thurs. 5/11: Group B 3:45 - 5:45 pm, Group A 5:45 - 7:15 pm Fri. 5/12: 5:45 - 7:15 am Sun: 7:00 - 9:00 am This week we will continue the hard training. Please remind your athletes to have water, Gatorade, and the necessary equipment for their training. I will email you the official Spring Kickoff results once I get them. Thank you, Gabi Sofia Happy Monday!
I hope you enjoyed the gorgeous weather over the weekend. AG1 athletes had a great training week, challenging themselves in the tough swim sets. I was happily watching excellent teamwork! “To me, teamwork is the beauty of our sport, where you have five acting as one. You become selfless.” – Mike Krzyzewski Our practice schedule for this week is as follows: Mon. 5/8: Dryland 5:45 - 6:15 pm, Swim 6:30 - 8:30 pm - OPEN DOOR PRACTICE Parents are welcome to watch our swim practice.

All AG1 athletes will be wearing swim practice suits for this meet. I am looking forward to seeing fast & fun racing! SWIM FAST! SWIM LIAC! Gabi Sofia  Happy May Day!
Thank you, parents, for volunteering at the meet. Your time and help are greatly appreciated. I attached the meet results and AG1 athletes’ long course best times to my email, so your kids can start setting their goals for this summer. The new Metro 2023 Long Course Age Group and Senior Mets time standards are posted on the AG1 page and can be found at https://www.longislandswimming.com/elite.html. You just have to click the 2023 LC Age Group Time Standards or the 2023 LC Senior Mets Time Standards button to see the qualifying times. Our practice schedule is regular this week. We will have dryland from 5:45 to 6:15 pm today and Wednesday. If you have an exercise mat, please give it to your kids so we can use it during the dryland. I expect all athletes to wear running shoes and workout clothes. It’s not safe to exercise with CROCS! We are in full swing of hard training for the next month and a half. Please remind your kids to check their mesh bags to ensure they have all equipment required for AG1 swimmers. Writing the names on equipment really helps! The updated AG1 Spring Kickoff entry report and meet information are attached. Please review it with your athletes and let me know if you have any questions. We are still waiting for information for the Memorial Day meet in NJ. I will share it with you as soon as we get something from the host. That is all for now. Thank you, Gabi Sofia |
