Sierra Nevada Masters Swimmers:

USMS Spring Nationals (SCY) April 27 – April 30, 2023

Congratulations to our 23 SNM swimmers who participated at Spring Nationals in Irvine, California!  Spring National Results. SNM placed 28^th out of almost 300 teams.

2023 Annual Coach Appreciation Week

Ok, this notice is a week late. I blame our long Winter and late Spring. It’s never too late to show our SNM coaches our appreciation.

“This is THE week! Where would Pacific Masters be without our dedicated coaches? Whether it is providing stroke instruction, helping us stay injury free, or just keeping us sane, our coaches are an essential element of our swimming routine and of our organization.

Despite their importance, it is easy to take our coaches for granted and forget to thank them for their efforts. For this reason, Pacific Masters Swimming established the Annual Pacific Masters Coach Appreciation Week designated as the first week in May.

While we encourage our members to regularly thank their coaches, please consider Coach Appreciation Week as an opportunity to let them know how much you value their efforts. Here are some ideas:

• A card or email telling the coach how their instruction helped you accomplish a goal
• A gift card for coffee, ice cream, a movie, or other treat
• Flowers, candy, a book, bottle of wine, or whatever you think your coach may enjoy
• A massage or spa day
• A certificate for a weekend getaway or special meal.”

Thank you for supporting those who support you!
