Coaches Shout Out:
Congratulations to everyone who raced in our last competitions of 2024 at JP Fiset in Edmonton and UCSC Holiday Classic in Calgary! AMAC ended the year with some speedy racing and lots of learning how we can improve going into the New Year. Loads of best times, second swims, top place finishes, and new qualifying times were had at the JP Fiset! All of the hard work the last several months have for sure paid off. Amazing job to everyone who represented AMAC up in Edmonton! UCSC Holiday Classic had too many amazing swims to count and every athlete who attended should be proud of themselves!
Swim of the Meet: The Swim of the Meet goes to Breagh Kohlman for her stellar performance in her 200m IM! Breagh had numerous great swims over the weekend, earning her lots of best times, but her 200IM was the stand-out swim of the weekend! She went into this race with a positive attitude and excitement to work on all of her strokes with coach feedback and executed the race so well she was able to drop 7 seconds, gain a provincial trials qualifying time, and snag a bronze medal! Congratulations, Breagh!
Heart and Hustle: the Heart and Hustle award goes to Isabelle McWilliams! Isabelle brought excitement and energy to the pool for each session of the meet; even at 7am she was helping pump up her teammates, cheer everyone else on, and was ready to crush it in her own swims! The swim that stood out most to the coaches was her 200IM on Sunday morning, especially as it was her first 200IM! She went into the event with excitement to do her best, follow her race plan, and show how much improvement she has made in all of her strokes so far this year! Super great work this weekend, Isabelle!
