We are back to Swimming
We had a great first week of practice. Athletes did a great job in the water and adjusting to practice time changes. The first few weeks of practice athletes will not need any extra gear (fins,paddles,tempo trainers), just the basics. We will be concentrating on endurance and getting athletes back into swimming shape. We will hand out new gear when it all arrives, just in time for coaches and athlete to start working detailed technique and drill training.
Reminder all swim meet forms are due on Monday Sept. 28th with full payment of meets.
We encourage at least one parent and all Elite team athletes to attend the nutrition talk on Tuesday 7-8:30pm at the Field House (note change of location).
Get ready for another great week of hard work!
