COACH’S CORNER
Polar Bear season is underway! Polar Bear season highlights the importance of regular attendance. For swimmers to excel at the sport they will need to be at practice a lot. Practicing at least four to five times a week is recommended. Attending as many practices as possible helps ensure swimmers don’t miss any valuable instruction and helps reinforce lessons and the feel of the water. Our swimmers did great during the fall, if they can carry that work ethic into our Polar Bear season and really push themselves then they will set themselves up for an excellent Spring and Summer swim seasons.
Practices are canceled tomorrow on Tuesday 11/11 in honor of Veteran’s Day.
The WAC Cranberry Classic is open for signups! This is our only scheduled meet for November. Every Pre-Senior and Senior Aquajet should sign up to race at this meet. Most White group and Navy group swimmers should also race at this meet. Especially with the weather cooling down, it is important for swimmers to go to meets on a regular basis to check on the progress and re-motivate them to work and train hard at practice. Signups close Thursday 11/13 at 11:59pm or when all spots are filled. OME Link
Winterfest is open for signups! This is a taper meet for our Pre-Senior and Senior swimmers, so I am expecting every Aquajet in those groups to race this weekend. All other Aquajets are encouraged to race at this meet as well. I hope to see many Aquajets racing and showing off their months of training at this beautiful indoor pool. OME Link
