Some training articles from Ed...

Good afternoon everyone,

Take a moment to check out some articles from USMS and SwimSwam:

"Don't Be Afraid to Try a Swim Meet" by Dustin Poe at USMS
"Five Fun Drills for Improving 'Feel for the Water'" by Terry Heggy at USMS
"6 Excuse-Busting Tips for Swimmers" by Olivier Poirier-Leroy at Swim Swam

Don't forget, there is a stroke clinic about freestyle on Saturday, January 17th!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year RTS!

We hope the holidays have been great for everyone!

Linda Kidd will be hosting another clinic on Saturday, January 17th (King Weekend) from 10-11am. Please contact her by email to RSVP. Her address is kiddswimming@yahoo.com. The goal of the clinic is to work on freestyle breathing techniques.

Keep on practicing! Lap swim time at the Rec. will be more crowded as folks get prepared for the triathlon, so please share lanes! Circle swimming is not a bad thing, and it doesn't hurt to share a lane with a partner or two.

Many folks have reported an inability to make our semi-monthly swim sessions (1st & 3rd Mondays, 530 PM), so I have checked with Brett (Pool Mgr) about our having a 3rd practice during the month (2nd or 4th Saturday, 0830-1000). If you are interested or would support another time we can train together, please send Ed a response with your preference.

 

See following for our schedule for the next 6 months:

Jan: 5 & 19

Feb: 2&16

Mar: 2&16

Apr: 6&20

May: 4&18

Jun: 1&15

 

We hope to have some additional meet dates in addition to Senior Games up soon!
