COACH’S CORNER

Please remember that In Motion amenities are only for those with an In Motion membership. Having an Aquajet membership alone only gives access to the lap pool during their practice, the outside bathrooms, and the outside showers. Access to the hot tubs, other pools, locker rooms, etc. is only given with an In Motion membership.

One of our Aquajets, Holden Campos, will be racing at the Speedo Winter Junior National Championships this week. This is a massive accomplishment, it is extremely difficult to qualify for this meet. Here are the time standards to give you a reference: Time Standards. The meet will be live streamed on the USA Swimming Network if you are interested in watching. Holden will race Thursday, Friday, and Saturday morning.

Swimmers should wear closed-toe, ideally athletic, shoes to dryland. We are introducing some more jumping and running in dryland sessions. A good pair of shoes help keep the swimmers comfortable and allow them to put out a proper effort.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS

●      Make sure your swimmer is USA Swimming registered (the link can be found in the “USA Swim Registration” section of the Old Business/Policies and Procedures doc)

●      Make sure your swimmer brings a water bottle to every practice

●      Check out the Team Page on Elsemore for CAJ gear: Team Page Link

Please make sure you are familiar with all of the Old Business/Policies and Procedures

Your next race has already started,
