We may be tigers, but we swim like sharks!

What a great kick-off to our spring/summer season Friday night!  Thanks to our coaches, the swimmers are excited to begin a new season.  As you can see, we also have some new changes to our website.  Here are the highlights:

1)  YSC records are finally posted!!!  Yes, after many requests and hard work, the top ten tiger times are posted for each age group and each event (right side of page).  At the end of each season, the times will be updated with the newest record holders.  As you can see, some of our YSC swimmers broke into the top ten this past season!  (Way to go Emily Weiss!)

2)  Practice schedules & sign up forms are posted:  We are now finally able to post our practice schedules and sign up forms (under spring sign up information).  PLEASE NOTE:  We have pulled the summer practice schedule from the website to tweek it a little more.  Don’t worry, the changes are small (15-30 minute difference) and we will post as soon as it is finalized.

3)  Share our information about our summer swim lesson program!  We are offering an early bird special for anyone who signs-up for our swim lesson program before May 20.  Feel free to download the following information and share with family and friends: Swim_America-_Signup_sheet[1] &  SummerSwim-America-Flier-1

What an exciting weekend at age group state! Qualified swimmers, ages 14 & under, descended on the IUPUI Nat for a weekend filled with fast swims and great time drops.  YSC’s Emily Weiss represented the 10&U  age group and she she took top honors in the 50 breast, 3rd in the 100 breast & 100 free and 6th in the 50 free. Elijah Spears and Alex Nickoli also had a fantastic weekend. Way to go Tigers!

This past weekend, YSC swimmers Larah Beaver, Jessica Extine, Caroline Grasso and Scott Heavilon competed at senior state in Indianapolis.  Senior Larah Beaver ended her outstanding YSC swimming career on a high note, finishing 3rd in the 100 back.  Beaver will be headed to Ball State to swim for the Cardinals in the fall.  Junior Jessica Extine dropped a little over 2 seconds in the 200 IM to finish 19th overall.  Junior Caroline Grasso dropped 1.41 seconds in the 100 free and sophomore Scott Heavilon dropped an amazing 38.68 seconds in the 1650 freestyle from his best time in January.  Great job Tigers!!!
