From the Coaches:
Kris: I’m off to Florida for the week! Reminder to get signed up for State Meet and I’ll see everyone for the last couple weeks of race prep when I get back!
Jim: It’s time to start paying attention to our turns, wall touches, and finishes. Practice these during EVERY set, EVERY swim, during a workout. If you want to have a strong finish and good turns at State Meet.. you need to practice them. Finish every swim like you are touching the pads.

Maria:
Dianne: Let’s get ready to taper and race, we are 3 weeks out! Friday Coach Jim will lead Power Hour! Special thanks to Coach Jim for filling in for me this week and April 1 while I travel to FL to help take care of my mother who fell and broke her femur. She’s through surgery and has been moved to a rehab facility. And, yes, I will make sure that she gets in the water during her recovery;)
