All of the Greensboro YMCA's are CLOSED Thursday, February 13th

All YMCA's are CLOSED tomorrow, Thursday, February 13th (all of our practice sites are included - Reidsville, Bryan, Ragsdale, Spears).  This corresponds to the GAC also closing, so there will be no swim opportunities tomorrow.

Some of you may have missed now 2 days out of the water going into Friday - here's what's going to happen to all of you...

As long as you've been practicing consistently, it takes 5 days to lose your fitness... as long as you get in on Friday (first day of the meet for our JO swimmers) you will be fine!  The only symptom - you're going to be slightly more energectic than you would have been otherwise! 

The trick now is to get your mind right and trust all of the hardwork you've done!  Every swimmer in the state is in the same situation, now it's going to depend on how each of you respond!  

We had a fantastic motivational speaker (our own Sam Peck) who spoke on this very topic to all of our NC Championship Qualifiers, paraphrasing a little, the basic premise was this:

DECIDE to focus on the positive attributes of the situation, DECIDE to let the obstacles motivate you and not to bring you down, and DECIDE to swim fast and to give it 100%, physically and mentally!

Everyone be safe - JO swimmers try and rest a little too!
