Howdy Tsunamis!

Our HOME meet against Brenham is THIS Saturday! The meet this weekend will be at Adamson Lagoon and will start promptly at 8:30am. Check-in will be 7am, Warm-ups will be at 7:15am for Tsunamis and the pool will be made available to Brenham at 7:45am for their Warm-ups. 

We have been able to catch up on Time Trial times so the rest will be able to be entered pretty quickly. Please remember: meet entries are due by 11:59pm Wednesday 5/9/18. In order to enter an event we have to have a time trial time entered into the system before you can enter that event. 

We always get really good questions so you know I love to share them with everyone. If one person has a question then it is likely that someone else may have the same question.

* My child is new to swimming / hasn't been swimming very long. If he / she cannot swim the stroke legally should I enter them?  - Everybody gets DQ'd at some point in their swim career. Our suggestion is to let them try. Each swimmer can enter a max of 3 individual events at each Dual meet. Give them a chance to try each stroke that they want to. 

* Stroke Development vs Speed Development - Right now we are in the STROKE DEVELOPMENT phase of our training. The Coaching Staff will be focused on training legal and efficient strokes in all the athletes. Sometimes it may seem as if the swimmers aren't getting much swimming in, but trust me, they are working hard. As each swimmer progresses to legal and efficient strokes we will begin working on speed development. At that point the swimmers will have also built up some endurance and be better able to tolerate the longer and more difficult practices. 

I think that's it for today. As always, if you have any questions please let me know!

Get those kids signed up for this weekend! 

Swim fast Tsunamis! See you at the pool!
