From the Coaches:
Maria: Prepare yourself for Thanksgiving! Come to Saturday practice this week (Nov 18) for a GRAB BAG workout. You pick a card (blindly) from the grab bag, and everyone swims that set. There are play sets, hard sets, easy sets, and even a “revenge on the coach” card. Even I can’t predict the results.
Melissa: Don’t let the time change hold you back from coming to evening practices! I know it’s hard leaving the house when it’s already dark out but focus on how you’ll feel afterwards knowing you made the trip.
Dianne: Looking forward to more Breaststroke work this week and a great practice this Friday! We have seen some great work on Fridays and likewise Monday evenings! Such fun workouts for all involved!
On a Personal Note: South Lyon had a great turnout this weekend with approximately 90 swimmers. We had a great turnout for MAC with about 13 swimmers. There were some great swims this morning from Tom Welsh, Ellen Defever, Hong Weng, and Ann Franas to name a few. South Lyon is always a fun meet! Congratulations to all the swimmers that came out today and swam their best!
