Items for the week

We have Parent Night tomorrow with our last dual meet against Zeeland. I ask that the parents be lined up and ready to go by 6:20. We will be lining up alphabetically by grade level down the hallway on the west end of the pool stands. Girls need to be on deck by 5:10 and in the water by 5:20.

Thursday and Fridays practices will be 12-2:00 pm for conference taper girls and 12-3:00 pm for state taper girls. Saturdays practice will be 12-2:00 pm for everyone. I would like to use these days as an opportunity for the girls to practice getting up on time (by 9:30 am), eating a good breakfast, having a snack around 11 am, and getting ready to swim fast at noon.

The girls that are tapering for the conference meet have started their reduction in training volume. They are keeping a very tight focus on the specifics of racing that they need to nail down in the meets coming up. We will be working very hard on our starts, turns, underwaters, break-outs, race strategy, and race pacing over the next two weeks.

I will update with the conference meet info tomorrow or Wednesday.

I am excited for a fun end of the season. We are swimming really well and will continue to get faster down the stretch.
Thanks
