Future Royals 3 

Congratulations to Eleanor, Sadie and Kylie who swam their first 200 Free and to Cael (-7.20), Lydia (-6.78) and Remely (-10.17) who all dropped a lot of time at the Distance Splash!

This week we will focus on open turns (breast, fly and IM), breath control and increasing our endurance especially in butterfly and breaststroke. We will continue to work on keeping our technique while increasing speed and being powerful when we are pushing and pulling the water.

One of our team goals is for everyone to have a legal swim in all 50s, 100s, 200 free and 200 IM. We are getting close to accomplishing those so I will be challenging the kids to swim an event that may be outside of their comfort zone in the next two meets!

This time of year can be really challening for our swimmers. There is a lot going on at school, home and they are working hard at practice. I encourage you to check in with your child about how they are feeling, ask them what they love about swimming and what is challenging them right now. You can also ask after each practice what was something they did well and what is something they need to work on at the next practice. Also, be sure to remind them that you are proud of them!

Please make sure that your swimmer is bringing all of their equipment to each practice, including tennis shoes for dryland and a water bottle.
