The final push

SATURDAY JANUARY 31

The start of championship season has now arrived and will continue through the Showcase Classic in Tampa in mid April. We have seven high school swimmers in our senior prep group who started their district championship season this weekend. Friday night was the prelims with finals this evening. I tried to track them down last night after their swims. The results were a lot of best times and most of them will return for finals tonight with some high seeds.

Championship season is a special time of the year for all our swimmers. Our kids have the first two weeks in February to grab a few more cuts and than its on. The month of March (Championship month) will have meets every weekend and you will find yourself at one of these meets, some of you may have more than one. This is your time To shine, race, and swim fast. We are into the final push towards those meets so let's stay focus, pay attention to the little things, have good nutrition, keep up with your school work, and stay healthy. Make good decisions as you work through the next few weeks. Remember there are no guarantees, and all we can do is put you in a position to be successful. Review your goals or set new ones for the next six weeks, write them down and put them where you can see them once a day, like a mirror, or your bedroom door. Don't forget these are YOUR GOALS not your parents or mine. The only goal I have is to put all of you in a position to get to the next level and to have a chance to meet your goals. We are into that final push so remember FINISH STRONG.
