Okay sorry I missed practice this morning, and no i was not sleeping in!  I had scheduled some interviews Saturday, and when plans changed on Thursday night it was to late to change them. We are turning the corner now and heading into the last few weeks before championships, and really it starts next weekend for our High school swimmers as they will be having their district meets.  Good luck to all of you! The following video is something I found that you guys may like, Nice week of practice and keep up the hard work!

Update - 1/21/14

UPCOMING MEETS: We have 2 meets coming up in February that our groups should be entering. The SNOW meet on February 8 and the PM Qualifier February 15 and 16. I have asked Coach Heather to open the PM meet to the Junior Blue group also. Here are my thoughts as you enter these meets. You should not be entering any events that you will be swimming at JO's. We should be entering events that we are close to making for JO's. DISTANCE MEET: We are going to be attending the distance meet on Sunday February 9. This will allow those of you who wish the opportunity to swim the 1000 or the 1650 free. MEET RESULTS: We had 2 meets to start off the new year. This past weekend was the January Open, and we had a lot of outstanding swims turned in by our groups, with quite a few JO cuts reached. Several swimmers had a great performance in the 500 free on Saturday, a lot of them getting the bell lap. We also found that one of our senior prep swimmers has trouble counting from
Great job by both groups in picking up the fly drill off the video today. Senior prep swimmers better job today in your effort and attention to detail In your races don't forget to " RELAX AND TRUST YOUR TRAINING DO NOT PANIC" If it is hard and it hurts, What is your competition feeling and what will there choice be? WHAT WILL YOUR CHOICE BE ?

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

WEEK AHEAD No changes in our schedule  for the next two weeks except for the Junior Blue groups on Monday and Wednesday.  For the next two weeks they will start 15 minutes early due to the fact that Mason stays on a holiday schedule until classes start again. MAKO  WINTER MEET The warm up times this weekend are as follows: 10 and unders.  7:00Am 11-12 are 11:20AM 13 and overs Saturday 3:00PM and Sunday 2:20 PM Please be prepared to swim.   Know your events before arriving at the pool.   Do not forget your warm up and warm down.  Do not sit around and wait to be told, it's your responsibility.  Wear only Mako caps when swimming, and Mako shirts and sweats in the bleachers.  I do not want to see anyone just sitting in suits, take care of your bodies and put yourself in position to succeed.   See a coach after your swims!!   I do not know if I will be at all the sessions this weekend, so you may need  to check in with another coach. DISTANCE MEET WRAP UP We had a good sho
