NOTES FROM THE COACH JANUARY 12th 2015


FANTASTIC HOME MEET – Great help is setting up and cleaning up after the meet, improving times (3/5 of the swims were personal bests) and great team spirit. You guys really stepped up. Now we need to build on this success during the next five weeks as we work towards Districts on February 14th.

PRACTICE SCHEDULE: We are now in the last phase of the training schedule. For the next four weeks lane 1 and 2 will concentrate on improving strength and endurance particularly for the last 25 of each race; and to maintain your stamina over the course of a long one day district meet. Lanes 3 and 4 will also continue to work on endurance and strength but will continue to work on technique. Shea Macnab, who has coached his own age group team as well as high school, will be helping out on several Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

NEXT PEE Friday January 23rd 5:30 – 7:30 at Annessa Clear’s home.
We will have a PEE on the night before Districts which will be February 13th. I am looking for someone to host the PEE.
