Senior Silver and Gold Update November 18th - 24th

Tripp Montgomery

Hello Senior Silver and Gold Swimmers and Parents!

Here are some important updates and reminders as we head into the week of November 18th - 24th:

1.  Thank you parents for all your volunteer help you put forth at our TEAM hosted AB Harvest Splash this past weekend.  

  • I have been coaching for roughly 20+ years and have been part of hosting many meets, experienced other meet venues including USA Swimming National level meets.  I can honestly say that none of them come close to the level of detail you all put forth.  
  • This is a theme at TMEC.  It is my belief that our swimmers and swimmers from other teams who attend detail oriented meets like the ones we host, swim faster because of YOUR volunteer efforts, ultimately helping TMEC stand out allowing others to want to come to our meets.  
  • Thank you! 

2.  Reminder of our continued strategic weekly training plan.

  • Monday:  Heavy Kick / Endurance.
  • Tuesday:  Speed!
  • Wednesday:  Pace / Tempo Training.  (Challenge Set!)
  • Thursday:  Drill / Recovery. 
  • Friday:  Race!
  • Saturday:  Race!
  • Sunday:  Recovery / Reflect / Plan.

3.  Challenge Sets.

  • Thank you Ana Cotton and Juanita Cravens for your help recording times at our last challenge set.  Thank you to the others who offered to help as well.  
  • This week, our challenge set will mirror what you challenged yourselves with on your last challenge set.  
    • 10x100 on 3:00.  75 Prime, 25 Free.
    • 10x75 on 2:00.  50 Prime, 25 Free.

  • What Is The Goal?  
    • We challenge you to be better!
    • More TEAM spirit!
    • More support!
    • Go on #1.  
  • Let's GO!   
    • I will need 2 parents to help record times.
    • Your consideration is appreciated.

Shout-out to our TMEC Parents!

The power of volunteering is not just in what you give but in how it shapes us as a TEAM, now and in the future.  Details!

By lending a helping hand, you not only make a difference with our TEAM, but you are looked upon as leaders on our TEAM and in our community.  

In time, our athletes will hopefully learn to do the same because of what they see in your sacrifices and detailed efforts.  The powerful and positive cycle will continue and grow setting us up for success, as well as setting TMEC apart.  

Positive Energy Creates Fast Swimming!

Thank you TMEC Parents for what you do and helping to lead the way!
