Good evening everyone,

Great work at Districts yesterday! Be proud of all of your hard work and fast swimming this season! Swimmers combined to add 31 season best times to our postseason effort! Results and top times have been updated on the team website. Our reminders and schedule for the week are included below. I am happy to help if you have any questions!



State Qualifiers:
Marian Collins - 100 Breast
Dylan Tackett - 50 Free

Reminders:
1.) We will reach out to state qualifiers with ticket and schedule information in a follow up email.
2.) We are looking to offer some spring and fall off-season training options. We may also look to offer some options over the summer depending on interest. The tentative plan would be a swimming option Mon/Wed/Fri from 3:00-4:30ish at the wellness center where we practice now, and a lifting option Tue/Thu after 6:00 at the stadium weightroom. If you think you may be interested in either or both of these options, please complete the brief survey linked here so that we have an idea of numbers.

Reminders:
1.) It is important to be at practice each day as we taper. We will drop practice yardage and intensity over our remaining practices to get the best performance for our championship meets.
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 excessive hours staring at device screens
- Avoid activities that will take a lot of energy or that risk injury (lifting, hot tubs, skiing, etc.)
3.) We will be updating relays at practice this week based on the addition of Saturday's sectional times. Our relay performances have been incredible so far! I wish we could run multiple because I know we have so many swimmers ready to contribute great performances! We make any adjustments with the goal to position the relays to drop even more time and continue to advance. Keep working hard as a group to make our relays the fastest they can be; it takes the collective effort of every team member to push them forward!
4.) For practice, please bring your suit, towel, goggles, cap (if you prefer one), and water bottle (if you prefer one).
Schedule:
Mon 2/10 - Swim practice at UH Wellness 2:45-5:00 pm.
