Four Strokes Fast!
Last year I started my Coach’s letter with a quiz. This year I have a story.

A friend once asked me, “Why is your breaststroke so much stronger than it used to be?” I answered, “I.M.” He asked, “You are, what?” I replied, “4 Strokes Fast.” Later, a second friend commented, “Wow, your butterfly is much smoother than it used to be. What happened?” And I answered, “I.M.” She asked, “You are, what?” And I replied, of course, “4 Strokes Fast.” Soon after, a third friend said, “Your backstroke is so much more powerful than it used to be. What happened?” Once again, I replied, “I.M.” The same question arose, “You are, what?” And I replied confidently, “4 Strokes Fast.” Finally, my first friend said, “You finished your freestyle so much faster than you used to. Don’t tell me…it’s because, ‘you are’. . . no, wait a minute. . . ’I.M.’. . . I AM SOOOO CONFUSED!” As he walked off in a huff, I said quietly, “4 Strokes Fast.” This summer, when people ask me, “Why are the Klahaya swimmers so fast and strong this year?” I am looking forward to telling them, “I.M., of course.” They’ll say, “You
mean ‘They are’, don’t you?” No, I’ll say, “I mean, I.M. -- 4 Strokes Fast.” Frogs, it’s time for Butterfly, Backstroke, Breaststroke, and Free. Find the goggles again, clear the cobwebs off the suits and get ready for a summer of: Starts and Turns, Baby! Swimming Fast to Swim Fast. Seeing the Race, Being the Race, and Winning the Race.
And oh, one more thing: I.M. -- 4 Strokes Fast.

Leanne, Britta, Julia, Maddie and I are all looking forward to seeing you in Lanes 1-6. Start getting excited!

It’s good to be a Frog!
