DON'T BE ONE AND DONE

As we get ready to swim this weekend don't forget to prepare the night before. Pack two of everything, plan a good night rest and a good breakfast. Make sure you arrive early to get checked in and get a good warm up. Don't forget that second warmup 15-20 minutes before you swim.
Get a good breakfast, stay hydrated and keep warm ups on to protect your muscles.
Don't forget our "two minute rule" if you have a bad swim you have two minutes to be upset and than we need to move on through the meet. Don't be the "one and done" swimmer who lets one swim determine the whole weekend. The same works in reverse if you have a great swim (and you will) be excited for two minutes and move on if you have more events.
HAKUNA MATATA GUYS
Starting next Tuesday I would like to see Jr./Sr. Champ and JO swimmers to wear tights or double suits and continue for the next couple of weeks as we move closer to our next phase for this year

The last two days I have spent traveling the Mekong river by boat. Here are some shots.



Rush hour in the Delta
Snack time. Sugar cane wine

Lunch time elephant fish tacos


Today we got on this girls boat to go to a floating market. How do you think your moms would do in this grocery store.
Bringing drinks to us by boat. They had everything.




Notice someone handing a watermelon through the window

Our boat. We made it without sinking.
HAKUNA MATATA TOMORROW AT THE MEET. GOOD LUCK MIKE

“If it’s important to you, you will find a way.  If not, you will find an excuse.” FEEDING YOUR MUSCLES   Having trouble with those early morning workouts or competition?  Not sure what to eat or how much so that you can perform at an optimal level and get through it? Understanding the process and how to get there is not an easy one.Waking up early to jump into a cold pool for either swim practice or  a swim meet is no easy feat.  For sure one of the biggest advantage is you get to see the sun rise and you have a jump on everyone else.  One of the first things that you have to do to survive a early workout/swim meet is to fuel your vessel. By the time you wake up your body is already starving.  You need to figure out a way to fuel it that works for you.  It's not something that you can ignore because the consequences will affect your success.  I was amaze or maybe not that so many of you have nothing to eat before arriving at the pool in the morning.  This is an area of your traini

Westward passage

  So I’ve made it this far riding south with the Rockies off to my right just need to find the correct route to go up and over, where is Coach Heather and her GPS not that I would listen to her.   Crossed over into Canada from North Dakota and went west in Canada.to Calgary and turned left south to Billings Montana  This will be our road west. Sun road in glacier national park.  On another note will be ending in San Diego sometime late week.  Hoping to be back by Friday practice but because of the heat we are riding less miles with more breaks.  Will definitely be there at st James Saturday morning barring any catastrophe. Make sure for you prep kids you get a good day of rest tomorrow and a good night sleep.  Get your homework done.  That first day will set the tone for the entire year.  The gold and blue groups let’s get some rest, get your homework 📚 done and set the tone for a successful season on day 1. Remember our motto “WIN”

PRACTICE

  "If you don't practice you don't deserve to win." ANDRE AGASSI So you come to practice on a consistent basis hardly ever missing but yet you are always missing out on that one great swim you've been searching for.  The hard question that you need to ask yourself is this; Do I practice with with a determination to improve or do I just show up swim with little focus on what you are doing or why?  If that's the way you practice you will end up like the dog just swimming never able to capture the one big swim your searching for.  Like you after the race you will think your tired but frustrated that you came up short again. Practice is the Foundation for all of your swimming successes now and in the future and it all goes back to our theme for the season. "WIN". (What's Important Now" ).  Simply said Focus on what we are doing in practice at the moment. It's about how you approach practice and what and how you do in the water during that t
