4. Words from Coach Mark
 

I hope everyone continues to be in good health and high spirits. As we continue our journey this year towards excellence and fitness in swimming, I wanted to take a moment to emphasize the importance of making each practice count.

It is not enough to simply go through the motions during our training sessions. We must approach each practice with purpose and intention. This means focusing on every aspect of stroke technique, from maintaining great body position to executing flawless streamlines and turns.

Let us remember that warm-up is not just about loosening up and getting our heart rates elevated. It is an opportunity to set the tone for the rest of the practice. So, please don’t be late, let us begin each session with a strong and deliberate approach to our swimming.

Similarly, we must also end each practice with the same level of intentionality. Rather than winding down and coasting through the final sets or warm-up, let us finish strong and push ourselves until the end. This will not only help improve your endurance but also reinforce the habit of giving your all in every workout when asked.

By practicing with purpose, you can maximize your potential and make significant strides toward achieving your goals. So, let us commit to giving our best effort in every practice, pushing ourselves to new limits, and supporting one another along the way.

I have full confidence in each one of you. Together, we can accomplish great things.

222 days till Summer Nationals!
