HIGH SCHOOL SWIMMERS AND IMX

 

This weekend will see the high school swimmers return to their individual school meets and although they may have a different look and feel to it, relish and enjoy in the fact that you are at a meet with your teammates be it at a distance.   There are still parts of the country that are unable to practice and train must less compete so enjoy it, treasure the moment and follow the protocols that have been put in place to allow us to do it.

For some of you it may have been a while since you have seen or been in each other’s company, maybe up to a year.  Their will be the initial period of excitement with what High School swimming has to offer, but remember and understand we are not out of this yet.  We have all worked very hard over the year, we have sacrificed and given up things in not only our swimming but also in are daily lives.  While we want you to enjoy your meets, we also want want you to remain vigilant by wearing your masks, staying apart and washing those hands.  Protect not only yourself but all you Mako teammates and coaches that want to continue training.

When warming up and down do the best you can under the circumstances that you find yourself and remember don’t jump to the negatives look to the positives and control what YOU can control.  A technical point I want to make sure you are aware of especially our Freshman, the times you post at High School meets are not official USA swimming times until you arrive at your district meets.  This is a perfect opportunity to swim and not worry about your times, and just go out swim/race for places and score points for your teams.

Enjoy your races this weekend.

For our non high school swimmers we have just posted the PVS IMX meet that has recently come out.  If you qualify for this meet it provides a great opportunity to swim all of the longer events accumulate a score and compare it to all swimmers throughout the United States.  This is a great chance to step outside of the comfort zone  that’s 50’s and 100’s offer and really challenge yourself with some longer events and events that you don’ really like.  FEAR NOTHING.  Take a look and if you qualify please enter because after this weekend  I believe we go 7 weeks without a meet and who knows where we’ll be at that time.
