Shannon Dalton’s adventures : Day 2 ! Running 🏃‍♂️ Blog

Day two at the pool and the power is out.

We are waiting to see what they can do. Duke Energy says this corner of Greensboro is out until at least 11 am

Please check back throughout the day as we will be adding more as the story develops…

We have electricity !!!

Day three prelims at Tarheel States are in the books after a nice delay this morning when a car took on a power pole, leaving the Greensboro Coliseum Complex in the dark.

Today from the Mt Airy club, we had Briar Sessions (Galax), Bradley and Will Dalton (Carroll), Nick Garcia (Mt Airy), and Colby Goins (East Surry).

Shiny new personal best times for everyone today.

If you’re new to swimming, it comes in three levels: 1. Summer Swim – A family friendly intro to swimming open to all kids up to age 18.

Please be watching the Carroll Wellness Center FB page for announcements about joining summer swim soon.

We would love to have your kids on our Tiger Shark Team!

Level 2 ‐ High School Swim. Open to middle and high school swimmers – even if you don’t know how to swim. Coach Joi Ogle welcomes anyone willing to work and learn!

And swim makes an awesome off season sport for high school athletes. Note how many baseball players and runners double as swimmers (… basketball players, too.)

Level 3 – USA Swim year round teams. This is an option for all ages for people who have decided swimming is their main sport.

USA Swim covers everything from today’s meet in Greensboro all the way up to the Olympic trials.

The local options for USA Swim are H2Okies in Christiansburg and Star Aquatics. Star is based in Greensboro and has a satellite program in Mt Airy.

There’s also a new team in Wythe and some options toward Bristol and WVA, but most of your local swimmers come from Star and Hokie Swim.

If your child knows they love to swim and you want to know more about Star, give me a shout. We’d love to have you there, too!

The nice thing about swimming is you can do all three types of teams at the same time and for families, swimming is all ages plus guys and girls in the same place on the same day. It’s a great sport to get your whole family involved in!

We would love to have new swimmers! If you have questions, the CWC would be a great place to start. Summer is coming and you know you’d love to spend it at the pool!

Ladies & Gentlemen, Mrs. Shannon Dalton 👏
