Great Swims at Metro Meet!

Aside from the random weather in Tamiami, we had some great swims this past weekend at the Metro Meet! Every swimmer had at least 1 personal best and aside from the rain on the Saturday afternoon session everything went great. FKSC once again dominated by putting up an unprecedented 18 first place finishes with only 10 athletes attending! Congrats to the swimmers who did make the trip up to the meet, and a special congratulations to Jade Bascilius on her first JO cut. Im sure more will follow. The FL International meet is looming on the horizon, and it is more important now than ever that we push into long course training so we are ready when the time comes to perform.

"Hard work always beats talent when talent doesn't work hard." (John Wooden)

Swimmers; take the time everyday to think about what you are swimming, why you are swimming it, and how your body is reacting to training. TALK TO THE COACHES! We cannot help you with problems if you do not address them first.

Parents; keep your kids healthy, lots of food and lots of rest. Try to get a snack to each swimmer no more than 20 minutes after practice. Even if it is a granola bar, it will go a long way in replenishing the nutrients that are consumed during training.

With championship season looming overhead attendance is more crucial than ever. We have 5 weeks to get the kids in shape before Sub-JOs, which will be the summer highlight for many of our swimmers, lets focus on getting to practice, getting the work in, and getting lots of rest!
