Independent Practice

Hi Buckeyes! Here is practice #1 of our practice on your own ideas. All of these practices are only 2000 yards, you can do this on your own, with a friend or try to get your parent in shape (be their coach)! Rest between swims is up to you & your training partner.

Warm-up: 200 free, 200 kick, 100 drill choice

Swim 10x50
odd 50's are free, moderate effort, long strokes
even 50's are choice - build your speed so that you finish the 50 faster than you started

Swim (do this 3 times):
6x25 (1 under water, 1 head above water swim choice, 1 free)
100 free breathe every 5 strokes

Race 3 x50 your choice

100 easy

Extra T-Shirts

The Pollock Family has donated about 60 t-shirts sporting the new team logo to our Booster Club. The shirts come in a variety of colors and sizes. Each family will have their chance to pick ONE shirt on Monday or Tuesday at practice. On Wednesday, any shirts remaining will be available to anyone. A donation to the booster club for your shirt is optional. The kids are now receiving their team t-shirts that were made exclusively for kids and coaches. Kast-A-Way has not yet printed our red t-shirts, if you would like to order one I suggest you call today. These shirts are being printed on a light weight t-shirt from Sport Tek.

Coach of the Year

Dear Coach, Hope this email finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are writing today on behalf of the upcoming feature film COACH OF THE YEAR: an independent, kid-friendly sports comedy feature film based on the inspiring true story of a rag tag swim team that tries to win a state championship…without a pool to practice in. Director Dave Stott, who has coached swimming for twenty years, hopes that with this film, we will entertain and inspire kids all over the country to learn to swim. Another goal of this film is to raise awareness about drowning as the leading cause of accidental deaths and to help kids all over the country learn to swim safely. The underdog story has been told before, but not for our sport. This is a movie for swimmers (and would-be swimmers), made by people who know the sport intimately and love it passionately, and we’d love for you to be involved. We wanted to ask you and your team to help spread the word about COACH OF THE YEAR, and get you & you...
