Hi Caimans!

What a fun, but exhausting, week last week.  Two meets (Tuesday and Wednesday) our boys remain undefeated!….and a fun time at Ironman relays on Saturday with a trophy to bring home for the display case and medals and ribbons to distribute!

Let’s be consistent in our attendance at practice for the rest of the season.  For some of you, these are your last two weeks.  Those qualifying and selected to go to CIF, you will have one extra week.  Anyone making states…has an additional week!

Here is the rundown for the next two weeks!- I explain things along the way as needed so please read.

Monday 4/20 – swim practice 3:30-5:30 pm

Tuesday 4/21 -swim practice 3:30-5:30 pm

Wednesday 4/22- last home swim meet- dismissal 1:45- please be the pool by 2:00- we have SO MUCH to go over!

Thursday 4/23 -swim practice 3:30-5:30 pm

Friday 4/24- swim practice 3:30-5:30 pm

Next week: (notice the times). This is taper week- what is taper?  Tapering is gradually reducing the distance but with intensity and speed! We are keeping our energy for the big day- so no running, roller skating, hiking, playing tag, etc.  Preserve your energy for the big day!!!!  Do those activities after leagues and CIF/States.  The whole point is not to get out of practice early…we get out early to repair any muscle fatigue and maximize power and speed for peak performance.

Monday 4/27 swim practice 3:30-5:30 pm

Tuesday 4/28-swim practice 3:30-5:00 pm

Wednesday 4/29 swim practice 3:30-5:00 pm

Thursday 4/30 swim practice 3:30-4:30 pm

I’m so excited for leagues this year Caimans!  Chomp Chomp!

In my excitement I forgot to mention League Prelims Friday May 1 at 4:00 pm- 7:00pm or so  at Wagner pool in Oceanside.  We will get out of school at 1:30.  Attendance for this meet is mandatory for everyone.  Bring your best game.  Top 8 people in each event will return Saturday so swim fast.  Relays compete only on Saturday (as it stands right now).
