HOLIDAY MESSAGE


Senior Prep, Junior Gold/Blue groups, I wanted to take this time to thank each and every one of you for your amazing efforts throughout this past year.  We worked through a lot over the past year and had an outstanding  effort and showing at our JO’s back in March with an abundance of personal best swims throughout the meet.

Throughout the summer as you all found your way back to your summer teams you continued your excellence in the water scoring points week after week culminating with Divisionals and All Stars ⭐️.

This fall as we arrived back to the pool to start a new season, your hard work continued and you reaped the awards during the Swim and Rock meet culminating at the Winter Classic to wrap up our fall season.

I couldn’t feel any more proud when I look back at what everyone of you achieved throughout the year and consider it to be the best part of the day to come in and work with all of you.  To be able to work with such a great group of talented kids with so many different personalities truly makes it easy to show up for practice each day.  I can’t really call it work really because it’s more a passion where the enjoyment comes   from working with swimmers  of all talents trying to be the best that they can be.  Whether it be a swimmer getting a personal best, finishing the 500 for the first time, executing a perfect turn or pacing the race exactly the way we talked about.  It’s the small things that each of you do that makes it so rewarding.


Cherish every moment in this sport, because as we have learned in the past two years, it's hard when it is taken away.  Enjoy every moment at practice, during the meets because the day will come when you hang up the goggles for the last time.  It will be the friendships and memories created that you have forever to cherish through your journey in life.

I also would like to thank all your parents who support you in your swimming and who sacrifice so much to get you where your suppose to be day after day.

As we look forward to the new year I leave you with this “ You’re not obligated to win.  You’re obligated to keep trying to the best you can every day.”

OUT!

“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
