GEARING UP FOR 2021-22 SCHOOL/SWIM YEAR

Hey all you Mako Blue, Gold, and Senior Prep/Blue Mako swimmers it’s that time of the year where summer is winding down, the guards are ready to blow that last whistle of the year, and you all will be heading back to school.   Enjoy the last few days of summer at your pools and be nice to the guards, maybe even take some bake cookies to them.

Take these last few days and prepare yourself for those first few days of school.  Here is a trick to being ready and getting the most out of those first few days.  This may sound silly and some of you may think it’s way out there but I use to like getting up earlier each day the week before to ease the pain of that wake up call on Day 1.  Try it.   

We also have the other end of the spectrum and that involves a routine for your bed time, remember as an athlete sleep is vital for your recovery.  This is when your body is able to grow, build muscle and wake up the next day stronger.


We are busy planning for the upcoming season and look forward to your arrival on the pool deck.  I will be posting 3 workouts that you may want to do the next couple of weeks, not only to get ready but it will help reduce your anxieties about starting up and relax from the rigors of starting school. Take advantage of your summer pools., water is still warm and not too crowded. 

Have a great weekend and better yet a great start to the school year.
