Greeting from Coach Jim

I hope everyone is getting to watch the World Swimming Championships (July 24-Aug 2).  You can find coverage in many places including many of hte best races on you tube or just google, Phelps, Lochte, Franklin, etc.  

Attached is an article about eating in the off season that was put in folders recently. All for improving eating habits and what one consumes but not for cutting back on amount just because on a 2week break. 

Finally, I have urged swimmers to NOT NOT NOT swim over break.  Take two weeks off.  We have a long short-course season ahead and want everyone to come in mentally fresh and ready to learn, body rested and perhaps allow rest for growth.  Other forms of exercise in moderation is recommended. Walk, jog, run, bike, play volleyball, basketball, etc.

See you at the pool!
