November Swimmers of the Month

Delaney McCummings (Typhoons 1)Delany McCummings

Delaney was chosen as a swimmer of the month because her coaches feel she has been listening very well in practices and working hard, and her strokes have greatly improved! We are also proud of the way Delaney has taken on new challenges by swimming new events at meets. Delaney's favorite meet was the Reindeer Mini Meet in December because it was fun and she won some events. Her favorite events to swim are 25's of free, fly and back. At that meet as well Delaney did 50's of strokes and even a 100 free. During practice she really enjoys working on butterfly to improve that stroke. Delaney feels like she's been influenced as a swimmer by her summer league team, the Belmont Sharks. Her favorite things about being on BWST are getting to swim each week and having great coaches! To get ready for a meet she likes to pack her bag ahead of time and get her suit on. One of her goals for this year is to continue working on her butterfly technique so that she can improve that stroke. Delaney's advice for her teammates is to Swim Fast! If she were stranded on a desert island the three items she would want would be water, food, and her DS. When she's not swimming she likes to watch TV with her family. Way to go Delaney!

Sarah Akins (Green Crest 1)Sarah Akins

Sarah was chosen as a swimmer of the month for November because her coaches have noticed how well she has been doing at practices. She has been working hard and has improved her strokes and times! She has been putting forth a lot of effort at practice and her attitude has been great. Sarah's favorite meet this year was the November Open, because she feels she improved a lot of her times at that meet, and she had a lot of fun. Her favorite events to swim are the 50 free, 100 back, and 100 IM. During practice she likes working on pyramids (where the distance continues to go up and then goes back down). Sarah feels like she's been influenced by the Olympic athletes that were at the Breakout Swim Clinic last summer, Josh Davis and Lacey Nymeyer, because they gave great tips and advice about becoming great athletes. Her favorite thing about being on BWST is that her coaches and teammates are all really nice and fun, and her coaches have helped her improve her swimming overall. To get ready for a meet Sarah likes to get more rest than usual and work harder in practices. One of her goals for this year is to improver her 50 fly time. Her advice for her teammates is to push it and improve your strokes as best as you can. If she were stranded on a desert island the three items she would want would be a bathing suit, an Ipod, and a book with instructions on how to get off the island! When she's not swimming Sarah likes to listen to music (Taylor Swift), read books, and ride books with her friends. Great job Sarah!


Danny Marron (Blue Tide)Danny Marron

Danny was chosen as a swimmer of the month because he has been showing great dedication to the team and he has had a great attitude towards swimming! Danny is also doing his high school swim team, yet he manages to still make his BWST practices, even if that means coming extra mornings. His strokes have also been improving and he has been doing very well at meets this year. We are proud of all the progress he's made! Danny's favorite meet this year has been the Hokie travel meet to Virginia Tech, because it was a new experience for him and he enjoyed staying with the team. He was able to learn new things about his teammates by doing this meet. His favorite events to swim are the 100 and 200 breaststroke, the 200 and 500 free, and the 200 IM. At practice he likes doing IM sets where they go through the set more than once, but they can change it up the second time around. Danny feels like he has been influenced as a swimmer by his sister, because she was the one who got him into swimming and doing breaststroke. He also feels influenced by his teammates. His favorite thing about being on BWST is that the squads are smaller, so he's gotten to develop a better bond with coaches and teammates. To get ready for a meet, Danny likes to pack his bag ahead of time and just relax. He tries not to over think before meets! One of Danny's goals for this year is to learn how to race and be more motivated at meets. His advice for his teammates is to learn to enjoy the workout and your teammates so that you don't end up resenting the sport. If he were stranded on a desert island the three items that he would want with him would be food, water and a friend. When he's not swimming Danny likes to snowboard and play guitar. Great job Danny!
