Friday

No change to the practice schedule, but if you are planning on swimming in the meet and you have a scheduled practice then you should be at practice.

 

It is a common error for families to think that ‘resting’ the night before the meet by not attending practice is a good idea. That’s not true, and it is actually worse for the swimmers to miss the practice time. A few reasons why:

  • Coaches want swimmers to do well just like the families do- they aren’t going to ‘kill’ them the night before a meet with an incredibly hard practice

  • Swimming is skill sport done under physical duress in a completely different environment. Consistent time in that environment positively affects an athlete’s ability to perform. Take them out of that environment for even a day or two and they start to lose touch with it.  

  • Swimmers are used to being in the pool and working their bodies. Making last minute changes to what you are used to right before trying to perform is never a good idea. Stick with what you are used to doing. The Seahawks are preparing for their playoff game this weekend like they would for every other game. They are following the same routines, same preparation, etc. Make sure you do the same!
