Week #4 Update from Coach Russ: Goals/Meet Changes/Results
| Congratulations to all of our swimmers that participated in the meet this weekend. We had a ton of personal bests, learned some lessons, made some friends and cheered for our teammates. I hope they had a good experience. Sunday October 6th practice will be Manassas Park Rec Center, 99 Adams Street, Manassas Park VA. Our 2nd Seminar with Sports Pyschologist Jeff Hoyt will be Sunday October 6th at 6:00 pm, [email protected], theinnerathlete.com. Meet Change – The host of the Monster Mash has changed their meet to an Intra Squad meet only. So we will be attending the Foxes Loughmiller Memorial meet the same weekend October 26-27. The Foxes meet will be at the PWCS Aquatics Center 13833 Dumfries Road, Manassas VA. I will get that posted today. Registration deadline is Sunday October 13th. Please have your swimmer come up with their season goals and submit to their coach by this Friday October 4th. Goals should be emailed to their coach and cc me. Goals should include short and long term goals, goals can be personal bests, championship cuts, stroke improvement, college swimming, etc. It’s our goal at CSC to help your swimmer achieve their goals. Coaches email: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Potomac Valley Swimming has posted their time cuts for 24-25 Championship season: https://www.pvswim.org/qualifyingtimes.html If your swimmer has Championship time cuts as a goal, in most cases those time cuts are not achieved at our 1st meet. We plan our season based on swimming our fastest towards the end of the season. The beginning of the season is a gradual build on technique and yards. The middle of the season we add yards while making sure we maintain our technique. The end of the season we begin decreasing yards so we can swim our fastest. Beginning of the season is Sept – Nov Middle of the season is Dec - Feb End of the season is March – May With that being said we had 211 personal bests. That is a crazy number of personal bests and we are very excited that so many of our swimmers had that experience. 49 Top 20 Finishes 21 Top 10 Finishes Special recognition to Anna Covey 1st in 9/10 50 back (Champs Cut), 2nd in 50 fly (Champs Cut) and 5th in 100 free (Champs Cut).
