Senior Women Week of 02/06/12

DateMon, February 6, 2012 at 12:46 PM

Senior Women Swimmers,

Welcome to the last few weeks of the season! Those whose last meet is Feed the Fire will begin resting this week, while Regional swimmers will begin resting next week. This upcoming weekend (February 10-12) is Fox's Winter Classic at Neuqua Valley High School. We will be focusing on fast swimming this week and remember that when we sprint off the blocks at practice, it's a great opportunity to practice our race strategies (turn-over rate, breathing off the walls, underwater kicks).

Here are a few tips to maximize your taper: 1) Get plenty of sleep/rest 2) Stay hydrated 3) Save energy where you can (gym class will NOT hurt your taper!)

Our schedule for this week is as follows: Monday - 6:45-9:00 @ MVHS Tuesday - 6:15PM-8:00PM @ NNHS (bring workout clothes) Wednesday - 6:45PM-8:45PM @ NCC Thursday - 6:15PM-8:00PM @ NNHS (bring workout clothes) Friday - 6:30-8:45 @ NNHS Saturday - No Practice due to Fox Meet
