Meaghan Kearney
The Development 3 Swimmer of the Month for June is Meaghan Kearney. Meaghan was a lot of fun to coach. She really loved swimming and couldn’t wait to get in the water every workout. She had a high attendance record all year and always tried her best when she was in the pool. She also listened very well to all of the coaches and really took advantage of their advice. She did amazing at Central Region Team Championships. She swam 5 best times out of the six events she swam, and she managed to take off over 20 seconds. Over the last year she has really improved in all four strokes, as well as dives and turns. Have an awesome summer, and see you next year!
