Hello Red Dragon Families!
 
Practice Schedule
We have practice Monday-Thursday this week! We do NOT have practice on Friday due to MRC. Our March schedule will be posted by the end of the week.
 
SICKNESS
Championship meets are here! I hope everyone is EXCITED! With that being said, PLEASE do not have your athlete attend practice is they are not feeling well or if anyone in the family is not feeling well. We do not want to risk our staff and athletes to get sick right before championship meets!
 
Taper
What is taper? Taper is when our team builds up yards a month before and then decreases to have the athletes start resting. You will notice a week before championship meets they will have A LOT of energy. That is okay! we recommend more sleep if possible during this time! We also recommend for an effective taper to decrease pop/soda intake along with candy. Fuel your body like Ferrari, not like a 1990 Honda civic.
 
MONC Meet Information - RECAP
AMAZING job to our Red Dragons who started us out in our championship meet series! So many time drops and great swimming!
 
MRC - Information
I will be sending out a separate email to families who are attending MRC's once I receive the timeline. Please make sure to read it over before the meet this weekend. Also, please plan accordingly for your travels for the weather.
