The Senior Group is Back at it

Well, we are back to Millennium, swimmers are back to school, and everyone is sleeping in a real bed once again. Everything is back to normal. We have a busy couple of months coming up. With Mayflower this weekend and Blue Bear next weekend before we gear down into GP, Westerns and provincials. It will be very interesting to see how well everyone races after another very good cycle of training. This will be the last month of Tuesday mornings for quite some time as we will be in a reduced training load after January right through till April. There will also be some changes to dryland as you can see above along with other slight changes. Flexibility and coordination will again be brought to the forefront. This is an area where you can see huge improvements over a small period of time and I would encourage all of you to do a bit on your own after each practice. It only takes 10 minutes a day and if you stick to it you will amaze yourself.
With it being January, time management becomes a huge skill. High school kids are getting into finals and Junior High is getting into mid terms. So you really need to manage your time well so that you can continue to succeed in the pool and the classroom like you have all done so well this season and in the past. Do your best not to let one get in the way of the other and best of luck in all of your exams!
