Hello SPAR Families,

It was so fun seeing all those kids in the pool tonight. I'm very happy that we were able to make Kick off party happen. 

This week: afternoon practice, Mon -Thur, all 6 lanes.

5:30-6:30 -- 10 and unders practice

6:30-7:30 -- 11 and up practice

Keep an eye on the weather forecast. Quick updates will be sent through Remind, not email. Fingers crossed.

While last weeks practices were a little bonkers, I'm glad we had the chance to swim. You will see some changes this week. As we get to know your swimmers strengths, we will start adjusting in which lanes your swimmers practice. (not all the boys in one lane, so they can all hang out together) We try to set up the pool so that equal strength swimmers work out together so they can push each other. 

This week we will focus freestyle technique. Freestyle is the backbone of swimming. When swimmer understands how the parts work together, it can be quite exciting. Breathing is a big part of this. Drills and body awareness will help swimmers gain confidence in their ability. Coaches will be spending time focusing on the nuances of this stoke. This youtube video is a glimpse into some of the things we will be working on. 

Swimmer humor: Chlorine is my perfume.

See you at the pool,

Coach Kim
