Happy October!

I want to congratulate all of the swimmers and parents who made it through September with us. Everyone is working hard and is really showing improvement in their strength and endurance.

This month we are going to begin transitioning into working on good techniques in our everyday swimming. While we concentrate on specific techniques in our drills, we want the swimmers to begin to translate that into their everyday swim sets. It is easy to just swim their sets in remote control. We want them to think about their swims. We want them to not just think about the things they have worked on but to try to apply it every time, not just in their drill and turn sets. Learning new habits can be hard, breaking bad habits can be harder. We will be reminding them in practice, you can encourage them at home.

There a couple of items we want to inform you of for this month. First, remember to sign up for October if you haven’t already. You can sign up online or at the BAC.

Secondly, there are going to be some nights this month that we will not be able to swim, due to High School meets. We will normally reschedule for the Friday if a meet falls on that week. I will try to send you an email prior to that week to keep you informed. This Tuesday, October 5^th is going to be one of those weeks. We are going to reschedule the practice for Friday, October 8^th.

So in recap,

• Tuesday October 5^th practice cancelled due to a high school swim meet.
• We will make-up practice Friday, October 8^th
• Make sure you register for the October swim session if you haven’t yet.

See you at the BAC

Coach Rich
