AAAA - Season One

Here is a recap of Ad Astra Area Aquatics season one.... in pictures.  Please send more pictures to patrick@adastraareaaquatics.org if you have them.

This picture is a little older, but did not get enough mention. Emma places top 3 at Junior Nationals (December) in the 100 Breaststroke.

Ned makes his debut at the Beach Bash and then makes his way to our Sectional t-shirt.  Ned was a huge supporter all season.

Freddy's Frozen Custard opened this summer... so we took a team trip after Saturday practice.  It was great and Jay (my son) loved it too.  He had new sunglasses and inspired this photo.

National qualifier Molly Albrecht sporting some new goggles...

Our team is growing...

Our Elite and Eclipse squads at a practice with TSA.  These were taken from the 5 meter platform.

Molly Albrecht prepares to dominate the 200 backstroke competition at Sectionals.  This was her first ever individual victory at this meet.  Way to go!

The set-up and the swimming at USA Nationals were quite impressive.  Molly Albrecht and Emma Reaney swam against the nation's best including Natalie Coughlin, Katie Hoff, Rebecca Soni and Amanda Beard.  We saw Ryan Lochte and Micheal Phelps compete too.  Our girls represented AAAA very well. 

Some down time at Laguna Beach during Nationals with some of the TSA swimmers.
