It’s time to get this started. I hope you will comment on these crazy ramblings. We’ll be starting our newest project in May, a program for our newest swimmers! We really hope that this will help our team be stronger in the future, with more swimmers in each age group. Right now we’re calling this ‘group’ our Yellow group, but we’re open to suggestions.Coach Jerry and I will be attending a training in April so that we’ll be able to get this program rolling. In the meantime we’re looking for older swimmers who would like to teach our newest swimmers. Send me an email or call Jerry as soon as possible.

I hope you’re all swimming, running and lifting weights. Those things will really help your swimming, but as with everything else, you must engage your brain when you’re training. It’s not enough to just go through the motions. Think about what you’re doing, what muscles you’re using, how you can do it better. Do you use good posture when you’re lifting? Do you remember that there are two movements to each lift?
