Dear Swimmers,
As we wind down 2018 and begin to look forward to 2019, I want to take a moment to reflect on some of the highlights of 2018. I also want to thank all of our amazing and wonderful Members of Sawtooth Masters at the Y. YOUR dedication, commitment, and spirit make this program successful.
Below is a list (by no means comprehensive) of many of the events, achievements and accomplishments of 2018:
Events and Competitions:
- Northwest Zone Championships in Seattle
- Our inaugural #funmeets at Caldwell and West Y
- Quinn’s Pond Open Water Swim
- Broadside Harbor Open Water Swim
- USMS e-Postal Championships
- Blue Sky Coaching Series at Borah
- 100 Anythings on Super Bowl Sunday
- Several stroke clinics to improve butterfly, breastroke, and racing.
- Numerous open water swim competitions (Bridge to Bridge, McCall Mile High Swim, Cascade Lakes Swims, Portland Bridges Swim, Last Gasp of Summer)
- Triathlons: from local sprints to Age Group National Championships to World Championships at Kona
- Two New National Records in 100 IM SCM and 200 IM SCM (Congrats, Ellen!)
- Boise Y Thanksgiving Invitational Swim Meet
Accomplishments and Social Events:
- Completed Phase I of Strategic Doing, capped off with the Luau at Blossom’s house
- Rolled out new Social Media presence on Instagram (@sawtoothmasters) and Facebook. Check out sawtoothmasters.org for more information.
- Got a new logo for SAWS (and matching swim caps!)
- Lunch and Wine Tasting Event at 3 Horse Ranch Vineyards
- Successfully launched a new Tues/Thurs at 12 noon workout slot (thank you, Ashley!)
- Added coached practices Saturday morning at 9 am (both indoors and at Quinn’s Pond) geared towards our triathlete members (again, thanks Ashley!)
- Hosted a Christmas Party at Shadow Valley Golf Course (thanks Sue Stadler!)
Looking ahead to 2019, we have a full plate. Here are just a sampling of the events to look forward to:
- More #funmeets (the first one is December 29!)
- More #clinics
- USMS Spring Nationals (SCY) in Mesa, AZ April 25 – 28
- USMS Summer Nationals (LCM) in Mission Viejo, CA, August 7-11
- More USMS ePostal Swims`
- Broadside Harbor Open Water Swim; McCall Mile High Open Water Swim
- Idaho State Senior Games and the National Senior Games in Albuquerque, NM
- Triathlons, both local, across state lines, and internationally
Please keep an eye out for important emails regarding signing up for 2019 Sawtooth Masters at the Y. Similar to last year, if you sign up before the end of December for the whole year, you can save almost 20% on annual dues.
At Sawtooth Masters at the Y, we have an amazing group of Coaches. Each of us is unique, and we can offer different angles on helping you to achieve your goals. So please give a big “Thank You” to Kyle, Ashley, Marina and Vicki. As always, we welcome your feedback. How can we better serve you and your goals in 2019? Drop us an email or give us a call.
Kind regards,
Your Sawtooth Masters at the Y Coaching Staff.
Rick, Kyle, Ashley, Marina, Vicki
