Latest CUBU News

Welcome to the Club: Celebrating our 29th year!

Swimming's March Madness is a wrap! Beginning with the Potomac Valley -- CUBU finished 2nd all-around (boys/girls/combined) and advanced 12 swimmers to the Potomac Valley Eastern Zone All-Stars. Curl Burke finished 1st all-around at the Senior Champs and advanced 37 swimmers to the NCSA Junior Nationals. Many thanks to our meet management team and volunteer parents who came out to PGSLC and then to the University of Maryland to run terrific competitions at Senior Champs and the Speedo Sectional Champs. Senior CUBU swimmers rested through most of the sectional champs to position the season finish at the Orlando Juniors.

Junior Nationals was another terrific opportunity for our senior swimmers. We finished 3rd all-around, (men/women/combined), and swam relays to be proud of. Our women won both the 200 and 400 Medley Relays and the men took 2nd place in the 400 free with just one qualifier in the 100 free! Congratulations to Ellyn Baumgardner who swam a winning time in the 100 meter breaststroke that currently ranks her 58th in the world! Many thanks to all our parents who turned out to provide breakfast and dinners to the athletes each day!

The Eastern Zone Championships finished last Saturday, 4/5, and CUBU swimmers were in the thick of the swims at night. Special recognition goes out to our event winners: (11-12 girls), Janet Hu -- 50 free -- 50 + 100 + 200 Back -- 50 fly -- 100 IM, Taylor Vincent -- 100 Free, Helen Moffitt -- 100 Fly, (13-14 Boys), Cyrus Hashemi -- 500 + 1650 Free, Conor MacNair -- 100 Breaststroke, (15-18 Boys), Cameron Lucas -- 200 Fly!

The annual Curl Burke Senior Night, recognizing the 56 graduating seniors, will be hosted at the Burke Racquet and Swim Club on Saturday night, April 19. Casino, bar-b-que and fabuous prizes await all. RSVP by Friday, April 11. Late RSVP -- call coach Susie Hutchison at Burke to be included in the planning; 703-250-1299. Have a fast spring!

See you on deck!

Speedo Tip of the Week

Stroke Technique for the Big Meet

This week’s Speedo Tip of the Week comes from the July-August 2006 issue of Splash magazine, in which USA Swimming’s Biomechanics Coordinator Russell Mark offers some advice for swimmers heading into their big, end-of-the-season meet. Here are some guidelines.

The Tip:
The big meet is coming up fast. For most swimmers, the end of the season is a time of excitement, mental preparation, taper practices… and worrying about their stroke technique?!?
