Last 2 workouts from the Lunch Bunch, and they were both killers!!  For the pain deep inside, push yourself on the sprint 25's in between some longer swimmers on the first practice.  The second picture was our special Christmas Tree Set!  Climb the ladder for longer and harder swims (faster intervals), then come back down.  The idea is that it will feel much easier on the way down....not sure everyone would agree with me there though.  Great job to Chris, Sara, and Brian for rocking the Christmas Tree!!!

Happy Holidays,
Coach Scott

Wednesday, December 19, 2012


I hope everyone is enjoying the Holiday Season, I have missed seeing a lot of you at the evening swims... hopefully you will all be rejoining us after the New Year. I have a couple annoucments about upcoming practices:
 
 
Regular practices except the following days over the holidays:
  • December 24 - No DPAC evening practice
  • December 25 - no practices
  • December 31 - No DPAC evening pratice
  • January 1 - no practice
On December 29th will be having a special SATURDAY morning practice from 7:00-9:00 at DPAC, all master swimmers are invited to attend. The focus will be on practicing a "mock meet". This is a great chance for those of you who are hesitant about competing to find out how a meet is run. It will be very low key, with a team warm-up, overview of what to expect at a swim meet, your choice of events, and a warm-down. If you have questions you can email me at kjjones907@gmail.com or speak to any of the masters coaches at practice. We hope to have a good turn-out!

Lastly, here are last Friday and Mondays workouts.. have a great day!

NEW USMS Website!

Please don't be alarmed with the new layout of the USMS.org site... it looks fantastic! We all need to explore the numerous articles and challenging workouts they have offered there for members. It may take some time to get used to - especially if you are an avid user of the site (as I am...) BUT I think it will be a great tool for us all to learn and explore :-) Enjoy, and see you at practice tonight!
