A look ahead:
- On Fridays we will have LCM practice available for athletes. Each Friday will be open to specific training groups to give our athletes opportunities to train long course during the LCM Championship season. Which groups are eligible is noted in the registration for the week as well as in the weekly update.
- Championship Meets are rapidly approaching! This means athletes will shift towards taper and focusing on meet skills the week of MRCs. Please note athletes will have more energy than normal - PLEASE encourage them to save it for race day! Rest, Hydrate and prepare to swim fast!
Please reach out with any questions throughout the season - Email is the easiest way to reach out.
