There
will not be any practices on the following days:
6/19, 6/21, 7/5 (no am, yes pm), 7/9, 7/10, 7/24, 7/27 (yes am, no
pm)
6/19
& 6/21 there is a meet at GCIT as well as 7/9 & 7/10.
We will try to find another location for practices on July 9th and
10th.
If
there are any swimmers attending Long Course Zones (something we
HIGHLY recommend for anyone who qualifies) we will have practices
on Monday and Tuesday, August 5&6.
More
information will be coming on meets and team activities for the
summer.
FIRST
THING I would like all swimmers/parents to do (this week if
possible) is speak with your group coach(es) and let them know your
intentions for the season. We want everyone
(swimmers/coaches/parents) to be on the same page for the
summer. There will be different levels of commitment on the
team and within each group. We really, really want to make
this a great experience for everyone, regardless of that commitment
level. If your plan is to attend 2-3 practices per week,
please let the coaches know. This allows them to prepare to
train your swimmer for the next two months in a way that is
enjoyable and beneficial to them. It is very important that
everyone is up front and honest about their intentions for the
summer. No one will be looked down upon or penalized for any
level of attendance. Just please let the coaches know what to
expect from the beginning.
We
will start working on turns and starts as a team during the second
phase of the practice schedule, beginning June 24th. Each
Thursday Silver and Gold swimmers can arrive to practice at 5:40 to
work on either turns or starts (alternating weekly) with the
National and Senior 1 swimmers TOGETHER AS A TEAM. This will
usually last until 6:15 or 6:20. From this point Senior 1 and
National practices are finished. Gold and Silver practices
will continue until their scheduled end time.
