SUMMER POOLS CLOSED

 

With summer now officially over and with most summer pools shutting their doors it’s time for us to really switch our focus and get ready for our season.

Always a bittersweet moment as I hate to see these outdoor pools closed as I personally will miss seeing our great staff and all of the kids on a daily basis but it’s time as it gets harder to staff these pools especially if you have 2 front desk and snack bar.  Tuesday will be spent putting furniture away but no covers as I hope to swim outdoors until October.

As you all start your 3rd week of school now is the time to make sure we all have established good routines like getting our proper amount of rest, setting good nutritional habits, drinking lots of water and keeping up with our school work.  Why is this important?  Next week you are going to throw swimming into your routine so let’s make good choices so we don’t get behind.   Don’t forget “WIN”.

MAKO FALL INVITATIONAL MEET

Our first meet is just around the corners so let’s set up your plans now.  As you sign up you should have your list of events that you want to get done and a target date as when to do them.

Here are my thoughts as to what to swim which you may agree with or not but I will give them to you anyway.  First off hydrate before you arrive and during the meet.  12 and under’s pick one 50 and then a couple of 100’s for the first day. Second day same thing but throw in a 200 preferably free or back since we haven’t been in that long.  Whatever you do do something that scares you which will allow you to become comfortable while being uncomfortable.  But what ever you do believe me on the hydration. I believe entries are due on September 15 and when I get back we will have time to adjust entries.
