We are looking forward to having a fun-filled time with some fast racing at the same time.  For planning purposes Nicole (from Fish) and I have worked out warmups for our kids.  On Wednesday and Friday we will warmup from 6:00-6:40 am.  We will hold these lanes for the Fish kids to have after us.  On Friday and Saturday we will warm up from 6:40-7:20 am after the fish kids, they will hold the lanes for us.  It is important that we are on time for our warmups so that we are able to get lanes.

Next we have Spring Break Next week for most of you and we hope the you enjoy yourself wherever your destination will be.  That being said it is important for those of you swimming in Florida to get into a pool a few times over the break, a minimum of 2 times with 3-4 being GREAT.  If you fail to do this your going to spend the first 2 days of the meet having that sluggish feeling when you dive in.  We don't want any slugs out there, do we?

For those of you who remain in the area next week we will have a practice from 9:30-10:45 am on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at the Saint James pool.  For the rest of you here are a few practices that you can work from on your travels.
