Coach's Corner

What's in a team?

For those considering Bluegrass Swim Team, we want to share with you some information about our team. 

First, we are a small team, both out of purpose and out of necessity.  Pool time is very limited in the Central Kentucky area, so we are very fortunate to have the use of Falling Springs pool every day.  However, in order for Falling Springs to meet their members' needs, we only have access to 4 of the lanes.  Because of this, we PURPOSEFULLY limit our team in size.  We have a set number of swimmers allowed in each lane in each group, and we will never go beyond that size.  When you put too many swimmers in a lane, you terribly compromise the quality of swimming each swimmer can receive in a practice.  We are committed to offering the highest quality of swimming and coaching to each and every swimmer on our team.

Our parents find that being part of our team has many advantages.  The past two state championship meets BST has had the highest best time percentage in the state.  Our high best time percentages does not happen once a year - we tend to always be in the top 3 teams at EACH meet with the highest percentage of best times.  In addition, our team scored the highest points per athlete in the 2008 LCM State Championship and second highest points per athlete at the 2008 SCY State Championship.  Obviously, we are dedicated to producing quality, individualized results.

Bluegrass Swim Team prides itself not only on quality coaching that can offer individualized attention, but our team is very much a 'family.'  If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please come try us out.  We would love to have you meet our family.
