Schroeder YMCA Swim Team

1. The Phillips 66 USA National Championship / World Championship Trials were last week in Indianapolis, IN.  Cassandra nearly scored in her State Record setting 1500 M.  The Men finished 11th place overall.  There are several articles posted on the site that captured the highlights of the scoring swims.

Schroeder won the 4x100 Free Relay at the 2013 Phillips 66 National Championship!  3:22.28 - it is the 2nd time in four years for the club to win this relay at Nationals.

2. WI Silver Championships July 19th - 21st

        This important meet is the championship meet of the season for all swimmers not attending the state meet, as well as the final opportunity for the non-state swimmers to qualify for the state championships.  All non-state swimmers and swimmers with less than 6 state times are expected to attend this final meet.  This is the event the swimmers have been training for all season, and we’re really looking forward to seeing how much they have improved.  The entry deadline was July 3rd, so please contact Coach Dan if you missed it.

3. World Ranked Swimmers Conduct Clinic at Wilson:

        A big thank you to Mitchell Friedemann and Ellis Miller for working with our swimmers at Monday’s practice at Wilson Park.  Ellis and Mitchell currently swim at the University of Arizona.  Mitchell is a Schroeder swimmer who specializes in backstroke.  He swam at the NCAA National Championships, including the backstroke leg of the National Champion 400 medley relay.  Ellis is a backstroke and butterfly specialist who also turned in some impressive swims at the NCAA Championships.

        Ellis and Mitchell conducted the clinic from the water, demonstrating drills to our swimmers, then watching them and making suggestions.  It was a fun and unique practice for all of us.

4. Schroeder Swim Team Latex Caps Now Available:

        Schroeder South coaches now have latex team caps available for $4.00.  Coaches will have them at practice and at meets.  If a swimmer wears a cap at the meets, it must be a Schroeder team cap.
