Words from Coach Mark
 

To All Swimmers– 2024 Reminders

1.  Start Slowly and Build
When starting your swimming routine, as with any other physical fitness activity, consult your physician. Start slowly, be consistent, and build up to increase the limits. Try to keep track of your distance and time in a logbook. Remember, the speed and distance are not as important as the amount of time you

2.  Set Realistic Goals
Aim for the attainable and you won't get discouraged. There are many ways to set goals in swimming. It could be as simple as learning to do the stroke better or counting your laps. The most important thing is to have fun with it.

3.  Learn Technique
Swimming is far more technical than most other activities. Even the best swimmers continue to improve by refining their technique. Take advantage of our mini clinics coming in 2024.  Clinics are available for Beginners, Intermediate, Advanced Swimmers and Triathletes. They include stroke drills, tips, practice time, and individual video stroke analysis.    

4.  Know the Drills – Look Here

5.  Know the Lane Etiquette

Make sure you know the pool's rules about how to share a lane with other swimmers. When three or more swimmers are sharing a lane, do "circle-swimming". When you are circle-swimming, you go up on one side of the lane and return on the other. If you are not sure about it, ask the coach, who will be there to assist. Watching the traffic patterns is always a good idea before entering a lane with other swimmers.
