It's Taper Time...
With
Championships just weeks away it is important to keep your swimmer
swimming as much as possible hopefully mother nature will help us out.
We will be entering the "taper" phase of swimming, which means your
child's fastest swimming with more rest to prepare them for the end of
the year.
At
home, you can help by making sure your swimmer is getting plenty of
fluids and eating healthy, try to eliminate bad foods for the next two
weeks. At the beginning of this week you can protein load their diets,
but by the middle of next week you swimmer must go into a "carbo" load
phase less protein more carbs.... pasta, fruits, breads etc.
As always if you have if you have questions regarding anything, just ask.
Our championships will be held at Maloney High School in Meriden over the weekend of February 22nd thru the 24th.
Friday night warm ups are at 5 pm.... I will have the swimmers that will be swimming this evening and send it in a email tomorrow.
Saturday am warm ups will be at 7:30 amthis is the 8 and under session. I am still looking for timing volunteers and a poster of results.
Saturday pm warm ups will be 12:30 pmthis is the 9/10 year old session. I am still looking for timing volunteers.
Sunday am warm ups will be at 7:30 amthis is the 11/12 year old session. I am still looking for many volunteers.
Sunday pm warm ups will be at 12:30 pmthis is the 13 and over session. I need timers and a poster of results.
If
you can't attend these championships you should have already spoken
with me or reply to the email and let me know. And if you can volunteer
as a reminder your kids will be there the whole session and the money
raised at this meet will come back to the Stingrays so please think
about volunteering. And respond or let me know in person, thank you!
We have a pep rally Wednesday Feb 20th from 6 to 7 after practice please rsvp if your swimmer can make it! It is sure to be a good time.
I hope you all survived Nemo and hope to see your kids tonight.
Coach Kristen
