UPDATED! Hey Mariners, we are
going to have some significant challenges and opportunities in
December. First, getting into the North pool on Basketball nights
will be much more difficult. Currently they are telling us that we
will have to drop off at the upstairs student parking lot entrance.
I will let you know if anything changes with that.
Second, There are 4 home boys Metro meets in December so early
practices will be disrupted on all 4 nights and the late practice
will be disrupted on at least one of those nights. check the
December calendar for those dates and times.
Which brings us to our Third challenge, WEST pool is out of
service for the month of December.
The holidays are always a hard time to stay focused and
consistent with training, we will work to provide as many
opportunities to get in the water as possible given our pool
availability challenges. Many of you are working out on your own
when you get the chance and I appreciate that, if over the holidays
you can find someone compatible to workout with that would make it
easier on you. If you choose to do that let me know, I will post
some specific workouts that will blend well with our current
training cycle. Of course the best option is to be at our team
practices....We are working hard right now to modify practices so
that everyone gets more coach time, it has been derailed several
time as as we figure something out and then find that this option
or that equipment is not available. Here is our best option right
now, if we can get about 10 COMPATIBLE swimmers to agree to a 5:30
start for practice we can take the pressure off of the later
workout. my preference is for our 8-10 year olds as it is earlier
lights out for them generally at night. Because of the pool
situation, we are trying to work out staffing the pool with coaches
for a full 5:30 to 6:50 workout as well as the 7-8:30 workout. We
have 10 swimmers that have committed to an early workout, if
we can get 10 more compatible swimmers from the 11-13
age group we can get through December without disrupting the
training cycle. Let me know who would be interested in this
option.
