Take away / tips from the Coaches:

Build your confidence - either in your training or when you are standing behind the blocks. Swimmers would come back to debrief after a race and say “I thought I went out too fast so I slowed down a bit” or “I could have gone faster”. Stand behind the block, believe in yourself and race :) 

Daily Habits - many of my swimmers recognized that their turns, breakouts, breathing patterns, etc. fell apart or quality decreased as they get tired and finished their races. If you want to improve those elements in your racing, you need to be committed to them in your training. Make a decision to change and be diligent. 

Technique Changes - the day of the meet is not when you ask your coach for stroke corrections, chances are they’ve been repeating the same message to you for a while now. Race day is for putting your focus and hard work to the test - how fast can you go with what you’ve been working on. If there is something you want looked at, talk to your coach after the swim meet and make pointers for the next training block.

No Shows - to remain on good terms with the Meet Management / Host Club, avoid empty lanes and run a smooth event, it is very important that you scratch your swimmer by the scratch deadline if your swimmer is NOT attending the meet. We had many no shows (NS) that we would like to avoid if possible.

We look forward to more great racing in December!
