High School Swim Team Update - Week of 1/7/22

Good morning everyone,

Fantastic work at Canton Champs this past weekend! I cannot say enough about the hard work and team effort that went into some amazing races. Cardinal swimmers achieved 25 season-best times! 10 swimmers and 5 relays reached the podium with top 8 finishes, our most ever! This out of 24 teams and over 250 swimmers in the meet! Results and top times have been updated on the team website. Our team reminders and schedule for the week are included below.





















Reminders:
1.) Please try your hardest to attend each day of practice on taper. We want to conserve energy as we drop the yardage and intensity of our final practices to set us up for the best possible time drops at our respective championship meets. This is a scheduled controlled drop with each day having a critical impact.
2.) Please be sure to practice the strategies for a good taper we have been talking about at practice. We want to be fully rested and ready to perform our fastest.
- Good night's sleep
- Good diet (especially pasta and vegetables Thursday/Friday)
- Avoid endless hours staring at device screens
- Avoid activities that will take a lot of energy or that risk injury (shoveling snow, lifting, etc.)
3.) Moring practice will still be offered if you need to miss an afternoon. This will be by sign-up. Please let coach Emily know at practice so we can plan accordingly.
4.) Swimmers tapering for districts, we will continue to practice the full time to 5:00 pm because you are further out in your taper/drop of yardage and intensity.
5.) For practice absences, please send us a quick email with the date and reason (doc appointment, family emergency, sick, sport, etc.) so that we can update attendance. Please make sure that you are getting missed practices made up. Thank you!
6.) A screenshot of the Super Bowl square numbers is attached. Thank you again to all who participated and good luck!
