Senior Silver and Gold Update October 21st - 27th

Tripp Montgomery

Hello Senior Silver and Gold Swimmers and Parents,

Here are some important updates and reminders as we head into the week of October 21st - 27th.

1.  As shared last week, my weekly progression is strategically set up in effort to help our senior swimmers plan and prepare.  

  • Monday:  Heavy Kick / Endurance.
  • Tuesday:  Speed!
  • Wednesday:  Pace / Tempo Training.  
  • Thursday:  Drill / Recovery. 
  • Friday:  Race!
  • Saturday:  Race!
  • Sunday:  Recovery / Reflect / Plan.
*NOTE:  This Wednesday will be Challenge Set #2.  

2.  Chino Hills Swim Meet 19th & 20th.

  • We had some great learning experiences at the Chino Hills Meet this past weekend.  
  • Some ON swims, some NEW BEST times and some OFF swims.  
    • Keep in mind the following: 
      • You WILL NOT achieve a best time every time.
      • You WILL learn every time.  
      • Practice attendance will have a direct impact on results at swim meets.
      • How you decide to practice at practice will show up at swim meets.  You'll never know unless you go!
      • Attitude and Effort outweighs best times, in the moment and for your future.   
      • I was proud of everyone's Attitude and Effort this weekend.

3.  Goal Meetings.

  • Based on schedules being so dynamic, I have decided that I will be meeting with swimmers at practice this week and beyond.  

4.  Blue / Black / White Meet Saturday October 26th.

  • Rosters have been sent out!  
  • Your TMEC coaching staff had a great time working together drafting teams.  
  • A ton of effort and detail went into this unique opportunity for Temecula Swim Club.  
  • Any updates that come up will be sent out this week.  

5.  What is up with the motivational attachment?  

  • My father sent this to me years ago (1991) when I was a freshman swimming at Auburn University.  
  • I pull this attachment up from time to time in an effort to check in with my Attitude and Effort.  
  • I challenge Senior Silver and Gold Swimmers to print this attachment out.  
  • Post it where you can see it every day.  

We are proud of all our TMEC swimmers and we look forward to the week ahead with you.  

If you have any questions, please reach out to me.  I will get back to you.
