The future looks bright for South Florida Aquatic Club’s young swimmers.
The 10-and-under and 11-12 age group swimmers dominated Session Three of the Comets Florida Gold Coast Open Invitational Saturday at Academic Village Pool.
“Our little kids swam better than our older swimmers,” SOFLO head coach Chris Anderson said. “It was a great format for them. The younger kids got to sleep in and swim in warmer weather.”
The 2013 season-opening meet is a good gauge for the coaching staff, Anderson said.
“For sure this is a gauge meet,” Anderson said. “It’s an indication of what we have done for winter training. We understand it’s February and we wanted to train the kids longer and harder. We want to see what they could endure.
“I am pleased to see where we are at and it’s comforting for us as a staff to know we will be successful in the championship season. It’s been a good meet.”
Most of the SOFLO contingent swam at least one lifetime best time.
Michael Arias, 10, led SOFLO’s contingent with four wins. He won the 100-yard backstroke in a best time and JO cut 1:13.65, dropping from 1:18.32; 100-yard butterfly, 1:13.39; 50-yard freestyle in 29.52; and 500-yard freestyle in a best time and JO cut 5:55.39, dropping from 6:00.22.
Other SOFLO winners were:
Sara Quintero, 9, 200-yard breaststroke, 3:32.34.
Delanie Perez, 12, 200-yard breaststroke, 2:40.00; 50-yard breaststroke, 35.52; 100-yard butterfly, 1:06.21, best time.
Samuel Quintero, 12, 200-yard breaststroke, 2:43.05.
Isabella DiSalvo, 10, 100-yard backstroke 1:14.18; 50-yard freestyle, 29.50, best time.
Annita Huang, 11, 100-yard backstroke, 1:08.9.
Rafael Rodriguez, 11, 100-yard backstroke, 1:06.92; 500-yard freestyle, 5:27.86.
Michelle Marinheiro, 10, 100-yard butterfly, 1:28.07; 500-yard freestyle, 6:15.76, best time and JO cut.
The meet concludes on Sunday with two final sessions.
