COACHES CORNER

We are halfway through week 2 of our spring season, and things are going well! After going through 2 weeks of practices, there is a possibility that we may make a slight shift to practice times on certain days. We are still working on details and want a full week of practice before making any decisions. Stay tuned.

REMINDERS FOR PRACTICE

-Please have all of your equipment by next week.

-Email Coach Sandy at [email protected] if your swimmer will not be at practice.

-Parents are NOT allowed on the pool deck other than in the purple bleachers. This is an athlete safety and insurance requirement.

-Please do not approach coaches during practices unless it is an emergency. We must keep our eyes on the pool while swimmers are in the water.

-If you have dry land, please make sure you have appropriate shoes (not crocs or sandals)

-Everyone should have a water bottle.

REMINDERS FOR MEETS

-Please review which swim groups are invited to sign up for specified meets. Deadlines can come up quickly, so review the website regularly. You should be getting an email 7 days before the deadline of a meet declaration. Watch for that automatic email as well.

-When making a meet commitment, please only commit or decline the meet. Coaches will decide what events/strokes the swimmers will be racing.  Comments around scheduling or injuries can be added, but please don’t ask coaches to assign your swimmers to a specific race. Thank you for respecting the coaching role.

DRYLAND AT HARBOR ATHLETIC CLUB UPDATES

INPUT REQUESTED

Families with a swimmer in Harbor dryland, please take this BRIEF survey about scheduling and expectations around this experience. We value your input as we attempt to develop a dryland program that is manageable and beneficial for our swimmers and families. 

DRYLAND MAKE UPS

We understand that swimmers will not be able to make every dryland session. Therefore, we are in the process of creating a system for housing the dryland workouts from each week. There will be a central location for families and swimmers to access any missed workouts so that they can engage in the workout on their own. Thank you for your patience as we get this up and running.
