STINGRAY UPDATE (11/07/07)
PRACTICE CANCELLED TONIGHT
Due to a maintenance issue at the Aquatic Center, the pool will be closed this evening. All age group and senior practices are cancelled. We will resume or normal schedule tomorrow morning (5:15 – 6:45 am).
GOAL MEETINGS
I would like to thank all swimmers and parents who have taken the time meet with me to this point. I will be putting an updated sign-up sheet at the pool later today. If you have not signed up yet, or would like to possibly change your time, I may have a way to help. I do not coach the Senior Group on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. I have meetings scheduled at 4:15 on all of those days, but I can also meet before that. If this is a possibility for you, please let me know.
SATURDAY PRACTICE CHANGE
Due to a home high school meet, we will alter our normal practice schedule for this Saturday, November 10th. We will have dryland from 8:00 - 9:00 am and swim from 9:00 – 11:00 am.
CSC FALL FRENZY
I was very pleased with the group’s performance this past weekend. We saw a lot of improvement in race strategy, skills, and times from the SSC meet in October. We will be looking to continue that progress over the coming weeks.
STINGRAY BREAKFAST
This is a reminder that we have moved the Stingray breakfast from November 10th to November 17th. Practice will finish at 11:30 am and we will all meet in Greyhound Station afterword. Please contact LorieJo Kramer with what you will be bringing to the breakfast.
NUTRITION
One of the items I have been covering in the goal meetings is ‘invisible training’, which occurs away from the pool. This is where the parents play a vital role in helping their athletes achieve all of their goals. Proper nutrition is crucial to the success of an athlete. Here are some links to great articles on ‘Fueling for Performance.’
Fluids: Water vs Sports Drinks
As always, thank you all for your continued support. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.
