1. Words from Coach Mark
Encourage & Acknowledge
It’s always uplifting to hear positive encouragement from your fellow swimmers.
A simple “let’s go” can be the perfect boost your lane mates need during a tough set. Remember to acknowledge each other’s efforts.
If someone in your lane is having an exceptional day, let them know!
“A little progress each day adds up to big results.”
See you at the pool!
