Falcon's Results

 

Dear Swim Parents and Swimmers,

 

I hope this email finds you well, and I hope you are taking some well-deserved rest after two long days of intense competition.

 

I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude and congratulations to all of you for your outstanding performance at the recent Falcon International Competition. I am truly at a loss for words to describe the overwhelming feeling of pride and satisfaction I have after witnessing our team's incredible victory in this tough international competition. Competing against ten schools from different countries, our team's hard work and dedication paid off as we took home the first place trophy. Each and every one of you played a crucial role in this success, from our coaches who tirelessly trained our swimmers, to the swimmers themselves who exhibited exceptional skills and sportsmanship, and the parents who have been a constant support throughout this journey.

 

I would also like to give special recognition to the parents swim committee (Geanina, Katia, Maricily, Alex, Paula, and Ivan) for their effort in helping our team achieve this amazing feat.

For those who did not receive a medal, I urge you not to be disappointed. The focus is not on individual medals, but rather on the collective efforts and hard work that led to our team's victory. Every single one of our swimmers played an integral role in this success, and I am immensely proud of each and every one of you.

 

To celebrate our team's achievements, I will be organizing a team celebration on Monday, April 29th. I request all swimmers to meet me at 7:30am at the field. Please note that there WILL BE NO training on Monday morning.

 

You can find all the competition results on the Meet Mobile app. I will also send out a results sheet once I receive it from ASD. Additionally, all competition photos and videos will be uploaded shortly on the SWIM PAGE for you to relive the incredible moments.

 

Once again, I want to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for your hard work and dedication. It is a privilege to be a part of such an amazing team, and I look forward to our continued success in future competitions. Please do not hesitate to email me if you have any questions regarding your child’s performance.

 

Best regards,
