StrokeView is a complete, compact, high quality underwater video recording package that assists swim coaches and swimmers in evaluating their strokes from different angles above and below the water. There is no other underwater recording system that offers such comprehensive coverage of a swimmer’s movements. Once recording sessions are completed, the GCY coaches will be able to provide immediate feedback to our swimmers on deck. In addition, each swim will be uploaded to the Strokeview website so that swimmers and coaches will be able to view their performance on line. This unique training tool will help GCY swimmers make the technique adjustments necessary in order to take their performance to the next level!
A very informative and user friendly site that enables swimmers and parents to obtain contact info and program info to just about any program in the country.

RSA Good Stuff Update & HULA Invite Meet Declaration Deadline
The RSA Good Stuff Meet promises to be a great start to our long course competition schedule! 750 swimmers will be in attendance, and the meet will be crowded. Chase starts will be used in order to help manage the timeline. For those of you unfamiliar with chase starts, the format calls for events to start from both ends of the pool, thereby allowing the meet officials to start a heat before the heat prior to it has finished. It is a bit complicated for first time participants, but we will be walking our swimmers through the process this week at practice, and prior to warmups at the meet.
Looking ahead... Meet Declarations for the Piranhas HULA Invitational in Asheville, NC on May 30-June 1 will be due by Monday, May 19th. This is a closed YMCA meet (only YMCA teams will be participating) and a great opportunity for our swimmers new to long course competition to get their feet wet! All 10 & under swimmers with B times or slower will be swimming in one afternoon session on Saturday. So it's just a one-day meet for our younger developmental swimmers. All 11 & over swimmers and 10 & under BB or faster swimmers will have sessions on Friday evening, Saturday morning, and Sunday morning. Please declare your swimmer's intentions prior to the May 19th deadline!
