RESULTS

LONG COURSE (50M) SWIM MEET AT KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOLS (HAQ HOST) 

The BIS offered its first LCM competition since June 2019 at the Kamehameha Schools pool. Many thanks to Kamehameha Schools for allowing this to occur. There is not a swim club associated with Kamehameha Schools so this was a treat for the BIS teams to be able to come into the facility. Presently, there are no other pools on the island that can host LCM meets (a standard for summer meets) due to a variety of reasons. Coaches Robyn, Barbara, and I are proud of our swimmers for gaining this experience and learning to adjust racing strategies. 

 

Thank you to Jarek Duba & Ignacio Soler for officiating, Tara Chicoine, and Mellon Menello for timing and supporting the management of the competition. All other parents, thank you for making the drive so that your swimmer would have the opportunity to compete.

TEAM STORE - ARENA 

Go to our team website and click on the TEAM STORE and you’ll be taken to our Swimoutlet.com store. There you     will find items you can have “customized” like backpacks, parkas, and warms ups, or get “gear” like swimsuits, goggles, paddles, snorkels…

 

TIME STANDARDS

A note about time standards - As swimmers beginning in the program start to compete, their results (time) fit into a scale (see below and for exact times, see the link)  HAWAIIAN SWIMMING TIME STANDARDS.

 

 For new swimmers to achieve a “B” standard is great and is their first level of recognized achievement in the Hawaiian Swimming system. Please note, that ASC coaches push athletes to simply strive to improve their personal bests, and the rest will take care of itself.  ASC has had athletes on the chart below, all the way to the Jr. National (18/under) Championships.

 

The more swimmers compete, the more opportunities they have to learn “how to compete.” So, as parents, keep encouraging and listening to your swimmer(s). No need for you to give any technical advice to them, that’s for the coaches. Just keep encouraging them to do their best and work hard to strive to achieve their goal. Often, the best thing you can say to a swimmer, is that you’re proud of them for trying and you enjoy watching them compete and exercise.

USA - Swimming/US Center For Safe Sport 

Many families have continued to have their swimmers take the SafeSport course, as well as taking it themselves. The coaching staff thanks you for doing this. Here’s the link to the USA Swimming SafeSport/US Center for Safe Sport.  Keeping our athletes safe is the responsibility of all of us.

All for now,

Lastly, the coaching staff truly appreciates the opportunity to work with your swimmers. We realize the importance of physical activity and the development of skills that support the growth and development of teamwork, loyalty, and other character traits, and we’re glad you swimmer(s) are with us.
