COACH’S CORNER

The CAJ Autumn Aquatic Adventure on Saturday Sep 27 at the PV Pool is open for signups! Every Aquajet should plan on attending this meet. It is time to start getting back into racing and this is a great way to do so. Swimmers should plan on attending meets regularly to check-in on their progress, and to stay motivated. Athletes that don’t attend meets, have a strong chance of burning out. Also, since we are hosting this one, we will need all hands-on deck to make sure it runs smoothly. The last few meets we have hosted have impressed me with how well we have worked together to offer a positive meet experience for the swimmers. Let’s keep that streak going Aquajets and have a fun Saturday of racing to wrap up September! OME Link

Starting this week a few groups are restarting some Dryland sessions at their practice. Dryland is a useful tool in helping swimmers get stronger and improve their body control in ways that are hard to focus on in the water. Dryland sessions help swimmers become better athletes overall, and in turn help their performance in the pool. Navy group will have one dryland session a week on Wednesdays 4:15pm-4:45pm at In Motion. Seniors and Pre-Seniors will have two dryland sessions a week on Wednesdays and Fridays 5:00pm-5:30pm at In Motion.

Next week, on Monday September 1, all afternoon practices will be canceled for Labor Day. Enjoy your long weekend Aquajets!
