Swim Team Week 1
WERE SO CLOSE!!! Our season begins with our first practice of the season next Monday and we couldn't be more excited to get going. Reminder that practice times are by age group so please show up at the appropriate time (5-10 minutes early and ready to go!) Below are the age group times:
5:00-5:45- Shrimpers ages 6 and under
5:45-6:45- Barracudas ages 7-10
6:45-7:45- Barracudas ages 11+
We plan to start this week slow to get to know all of the swimmers and their ability levels while also setting some expectations and having some fun of course! Our main area of focus.
Monday: Rules, expectations, stretching and ice breaker game, swim assessment
Tuesday-Thursday: 15 minute rotations between dry land exercise, dive and streamline, stroke clinic. End with sprints or relays.
Fun Friday: 10 minute rotations for first half of practice. Games and relays for second half!
Our goals this season are for all of our swimmers to improve their skills but also either establish their love for swim or grow it. Throughout the season you will see us adjust as coaches to what our swimmers need to work on the most to be as competetive as possible once we get to meets and put each swimmer in a position to succeed. As parents, we ask that all of you do your best to encourage all of swimmers as much as possible to be the best version of themselves they can be so we can accomplish goals as individuals but also as a team.
SWIM SUITS: If you came to the swim suit fitting, your swim suit is waiting for you at the FAC front desk to pick up. If you are unable to get it prior to Monday, we will have a tale to give them out at practices.
TOWELS: Please bring your own towel for practice as the BCC complimentary towels are for regular operating hours, not swim team.
If you have any questions regarding ANYTHING, do not hesitate to reach out to me at any time at [email protected]
