Hello Bear Swimmers and families, as you know we will be competing at the Hercules Meet this weekend. There will be a 3 day taper prior , including a dramatic drop in volume and an increase in intensity. These pre Meet workouts and taper are intended for those swimming the Meet.There is an alternative workout for our practice group. There will be NO PRACTICE ON MONDAY SEPTEMBER 16( the day after Meet weekend). We will review race details,photos,video,and splits as well as discuss overall meeting of goals/expectations on Tuesday . Speaking of meets, all swimmers MUST check in for pre and post race planning and review for EACH race. Contribution of video and or photo analysis by parents is highly recommended (starts-mid air especially)always head on or from the side, nothing from behind the blocks. Today marks the last day before taper, yesterday’s Super sprint sets were a steppingstone for us. Warmup: 321 or 222. Main set. Turn clinic.warmdown 300. See you on deck and Thank you for Swimming Bear.
