UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE ARE DOING

Senior prep, we want to make sure we all understand what we were trying to accomplish today at practice.

After a good warmup wit some long mix swims, pulling and kicking we went I to our big set for the day.

It was basically an IM set with 4x100 IM followed by 4x50 fast free. We went through 4 rounds of this with each round finishing with either 2x50 kick fast or 25’s kick fast.

As you noticed and we talked about the intervals started fast were some of you had trouble making it or barely make it. Each segment of the round we increased the interval by 5 seconds.

The problem we were having is that we want to get

the same effort on the last round as we got on the first round. The slower interval does not signal us to slow it down, it’s meant to give us a little more recovery time in order to keep the effort high. It is important that we all understand that so we are working together to make each of us better.

If we can all get together we have a better chance of everything coming together when the time is right.

“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

“WIN”. What’s Important Now
