So, the first open water practice was held on June 29, 8 days before this event and the water temperature was only in the mid sixties.

Under perfect conditions 44 Junior team swimmers completed the Holtsville Biathlon. However, I messed up and most Jr2 swimmers in lanes 5 and 6 swam only 900 meters. Lizzy, Chelsie, Brendan and Branka ignored me screaming on the side of the pool to stop, and completed their last 100 meter anyway. Way to go! In the results below, the swimmers in gray print swam only 900 meters (Colin swam about 930 meter). I estimated their 100 splits and added that to the total time. So, on Wednesday, June 21, there...
