For Coach Lauren’s
group, she has
decided to do a “fill in the blanký form for her
Swimmer of the Month. As you read along try to guess who this
person might be. The answer will be at the end of the
descriptions.

December Swimmer of the
Month
Lucianna Balica
-
Lucianna started December off in incredible
fashion at the Pleasanton swim meet, getting best times across the
board. The hard work she has been putting in everyday at the
pool since we came back in September really paid big dividends for
Lucianna. She stepped
up and raced, resulting in great swims in all her events.
But, without a doubt, her best swims were in some of the hardest
events - the 200 breast and 500 free!
Lucianna challenges herself every time she steps
in the pool and has been not just completing but obliterating some
very impressive sets in practice, including a 400 IM! It has
been a joy to watch Lucianna's mental toughness in
races increase to match her physical toughness in practice and
result in big time drops. I know I'm extremely proud of her
accomplishments and hope she is very proud of what she did not only
at the Pleasanton meet but the hard work and dedication she invests
into every practice. I believe this is just the tip of the
iceberg in terms of swimming success for
Lucianna. Keep up the hard work, its going
to really start to pay off!

December Swimmer of the
Month
For
mark’s group, the Swimmer of the Month goes to Alicia
Krewer. At the Age Group meet in December,
Alicia, on Saturday, began the meet with a 200 IM
where she improved 6 seconds in an amazing swim. From there
she went to a soccer game where she played the entire game without
substituting out. After the game, she came back to the meet to
swim a 500 freestyle where she improved 23 seconds. She
wasn’t done yet. She went back to the soccer tournament
to play a second game where, again, she played the entire
time. Way to go, Alicia! Alicia is also
exhibiting a new form of determination I have not seen before in
her, as she wants to move up to the pre-senior group. Great
job, Alicia!
