Well, 2008 has officially begun. I say that beacause I dont really consider us back in season until we swim at least one meet. You can always train, but you will never know what really needs work until you evaluate the first meet after a long break.
Unfortunatly becasue of the "cold weather" we have lost a few regular swimmers. We only took a small group to a meet in Tamiami this past weekend. The kids that have been coming regularly to workout are back to form. This means that the training plan is working, and that these swimmers are still fresh after a long break. We had several best times, several top 8 finishers, and more JO cuts! I cant wait until the weather gets warmer, and things with our team start really heating up. My hope for this team is that JO cuts are a given...and Zones, or Junior Nationals is the focus. Not only would I like to be taking a bigger team to these smaller meets, but I also want to bring a big team to a big meet. With our success so far I feel that it will happen as long as we keep moving forward. 2008 will be a busy year, no time to settle just yet!
As for now we are entering the second part of our training for most of the swimmers. We will be doing a lot more racing in workout. Less yardage but more explosiveness. I mean, if your going to swim you mind as well swim fast!
Keep checking for updates...I will soon be posting March meets.
