From the Coaches:
Jim:
Kris: Breakout workout – we will be swimming Wednesday, just will be moving to the diving well for a few minutes to accommodate PE classes.
Maria:
Melissa:
Dianne: Let’s hope we don’t get snowed out of our Friday workout again, I’m looking forward to it!

On a Personal Note: Look out for schedule changes and sign up for filming. This would be a great time to get personalized feedback in a one on one setting. This is a fantastic opportunity to refocus your stroke or technique and set new goals! The State Meet and Nationals will be here soon! Will your stroke be ready?
