IMX MEET

Everyone swimming this weekend should have gotten notice about the 500 for Friday afternoon/evening.  I did the best to figure out your heats and time for the event.  This could change a little after positive check in is completed, but should should not be by a lot as I don't feel there will be  too many scratches.

I will check in all our swimmers when I get there at noon unless I hear differently.  After the meet begins as always I will not have my phone with me as I will devote my attention to you all.  As you get there get settled and go through your warmup, which is as follows for this event;

SENIOR PREP
200 swim. 200 kick. 200 drill swim. For drill do stop-stop-switch and stay long
5x50 free build 1-2 seconds faster each 50
100 swim kick swim kick
2x 4x25 easy fast
100 warm down
Get out and stay warm

Junior Gold
150 swim 150 kick 150 swim drill use stop-stop-switch
4x50 free build. 1-2 seconds faster each 50
100 swim kick swim kick
2x 4x25 easy fast
100 warm down
Get out and get warm

DO NOT HESITATE TO GET BACK IN FOR A QUICK WARM UP PRIOR TO RACE.
100 stretch out and 4-6 all out 25's. After this your event should start 10-15 minutes

SWIMMING THE RACE
Find that easy speed for that first 100( starting to SLOW will hamper the swim). Try and negative split that first 100 so you can get into your pace for the middle and then negative split that last 100 for a great finish.  YOU HAVE 19 turns so be aggressive on all of them. Move that first breath to the second arm movement off the walls.  YOU'VE DONE IT IN PRACTICE.  TRUST YOUR TRAINING.

We may ask some of you too count for some of your teammates if possible.  After you swim get out of there and get some rest.

Looking forward to some great races!   Mike
