1. WORDS FROM COACH MARK

Kicking Off the Short Course Meters Season!

As we enter the SCM season, our training focus from now through December will center on fitness, building an aerobic base, and refining technique. Whether you're gearing up for competition or swimming for personal achievement, this phase lays the foundation for success.

Our program supports both competitive and fitness swimmers. For racers, the season culminates in the SPMS Regional SCM Championship Meet. For fitness-focused athletes, the goal is to complete the USMS Postal One-Hour Swim—a true test of endurance and pacing.

Throughout the season, we’ll train across all energy systems with emphasis on:

• Aerobic endurance
• Race pacing and VO₂ development
• Flip turns and transitions
• Stroke technique and efficiency

Let’s build strength, sharpen skills, and swim with purpose. Every lap counts—let’s make them count together!
