Swim Team Update - Week of 1/27/20


Good evening everyone,

Great job at our meet on Saturday! Girls picked up wins against Medina, Elyria, and Buckeye to improve to 11-4 on the season. Boys defeated Elyria and came up just short to Medina to finish the season 9-5. A very nice gesture by Medina to recognize all seniors in the final dual meet of their careers. Certainly a happy/sad moment as we reflect on the last regular season meet for our senior class and their futures! You have had such great high school careers and we wish you the best! Now we have just one final push with our post-season meets. Let's have a great taper and make sure each lap from practice this season has set us up for our fastest swimming.





Reminders:
1.) Please try your hardest to make each day of practice on taper. We want to conserve energy as we drop yards 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 an impact. Try to avoid activities that take a lot of energy or might lead to injury, especially lifting, etc. Avoid junk food, go with carbs before we swim. Last, make sure you are getting a good night of sleep.
2.) For practice absences, please send us a quick email with date and reason (doc appointment, family emergency, sick, sport, etc.) so that we can update attendance. Remember that missed practices should be made up, and you have two options to meet your attendance requirement for each day! A giant thank you to those of you that have been on track with this!
3.) We still have a few super bowl squares to sell for the team fundraiser. If you would like to purchase, please email a member of the boosters or myself. Squares are 10$. Payouts are by 1st, 2nd, 3rd quarter, and end of the game.
