JIM CALLED THE MEETING TO ORDER AND PRESENTED EVERYBODY WITH A COPY OF THE

LYST - USA SWIM TEAM FACT SHEET (SEE ATTACHED) AND WENT OVER IT IN DETAIL

A FEW PARENTS THAT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN USA SWIM SHARED THEIR EXPERIENCES AND PROVIDED INFORMATION ON HOW IT BENEFITED THEIR CHILDREN

COACH'S COMMENTS:

KEVIN STATED THAT ANYBODY CAN BE ON THE USA SWIM TEAM - THAT THE USA SWIM TEAM IS MADE UP OF ALL LEVELS OF SWIMMERS

HE SAID THAT THE LONG COURSE MEETS ARE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY - AND WILL MAKE THE SWIMMER FASTER WHEN SWIMMING ON THE SHORT COURSE, IT IS MORE COMPETITION AGAINST ALOT OF OTHER SWIMMERS, TRAVELING TO MEETS WITH FASTER POOLS IS ALSO A GREAT OPPORTUNITY, AND BOTTOM LINE ,USA SWIM IS FOR ANY SWIMMER WHO LOVES TO SWIM AND WOULD LIKE A LITTLE EXTRA THAN WHAT THE Y SWIM TEAM CAN PROVIDE.

KEVIN IS THE HEAD COACH OF THE Y SWIM TEAM AND ALSO THE USA SWIM TEAM - AND THAT IS A HUGE ASSET

BEING PART OF THE SWIM TEAM DOES NOT CONFLICT WITH THE YSWIM TEAM SCHEDULE

WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE USA SWIM TEAM GROW - RIGHT NOW THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH MEMBERS FOR RELAYS
