Happy New Year!

We had a very strong Christmas camp for all that were able to attend all the workouts and have been building even more this week as we go through our final push before we start fine tuning into out season ending competitions. This is always a busy time for all people and for swimmers this is compounded even more. With High School exams and Junior High mid terms trying to suck away all of your energy you need to remember to make time for everything and budget accordingly.

Be Proactive and start to study now so that you are confident going into your exams and there is no need for the last minute craming. That type of studying may produce ok results but you will not remember much of it after your exam and this also is a big strain on you mentally and physically so you risk the chance of getting sick.

By staying on top of your studying now there should be no need to miss a workout. Maybe you choose not to stay for dryland so that you can get to bed earlier or you may decide to get out of morning workout at 7:00am so that you can do a quick review before that 9:00am exam. This is always much better than skipping a workout all together. A light swim can be a nice break from the stresses of school and a morning swim may just be the wake up you need for your mind to be firing on all cylinders. Not having to think about school even if it is just for 1.5 hours can go a long way to helping you succeed.

Scheduling in the things that are important for you: Family and friends, school, swimming will go a long way to making sure that you are successful in all aspects of your life. It will keep you healthy and confident so that you can enjoy every minute of it. Remember always put first things first and then you can find the time to be successful in way more that you could have imagined.
