Hello, Spring Conditioning Swimmers and Families!

So wonderful to meet you and your swimmers this past first week of practices!!! We had a lot of fun (Coach Tjasa even lost her voice!)!

Week in Review:

We spent our first week establishing good technique in freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke, with the 13+ also working on butterfly (that’s next week for the 8U and the 9-12!). It’s always worth revisiting the basics! On Day 1, each group talked out-of-the-water for about 15 minutes; we introduced ourselves, talked about our favorite flavors of ice cream, and established some team values and goals. Every group did a whiteboard activity designed to set some goals for our team environment, and then brainstormed some ways individual teammates can make positive contributions to the team as a whole. I took pictures of the whiteboard after each team talk, and will attach those here so you can see what was important to your swimmers about being on a team. :) What a great bunch of kids!

Lane Assignments:

Here is an updated version of the lane assignments for this season.
