Laurel Hill has AC for table workers |
Report: it was hot but not miserable at our southern Ffx County NVSL meet.
The kids reported the water was warm, so let’s hope for some rain this week to cool it off! |
I attended a B meet in FXFX, which had a nice pool. However, the heats were spaced out by up to three minutes, which was quite long. I was a spectator this evening, not a volunteer, so I can’t be too critical. But it was extremely hot and long. |
Our B Meet lasted a little over an hour. Not many best times in the heat, but the kids seemed to be having fun! |
Wait what!?' How did it only last an hour? |
We also ran our B meet (NVSL). It lasted 2.5 hours which is normal. It was very hot but we had lot of ice, frozen towels and cold water to pass around and it went by without incident. Glad we got through it. We also had a lot of time drops! |
Our meet lasted slightly longer than usual, but we also took a break between events to let all of the kids jump in the pool and cool off.
I noticed that the majority of the time drops were either younger/newer kids settling into their strokes, and/or IM which usually has a lot of drops as many kids haven't swum it since last summer. My own kid is older and struggled some with the heat. DC did not have the best times but still placed well as the rest of the age group seemed to have similar issues; at least one swimmer didn't show up at all, and three more scratched their second event due to not feeling well. |
