OBX Dominates Newport News YMCA
Welcome to Week 5!
I am pleased to report that our team swam very well this past weekend. We had many “Personal Best” times. Coach Amanda, Sarah and I feel that stroke technique and endurance work contributed to our fast swimming. I am very proud of the swimmers who have committed to swimming at the ODAC meet Oct. 16-17. This is the first step in being a real part of USA swimming!!!!
In the Developmental group, freestyle drills, starts, turns, and finishes will be introduced this week while finishing the ability to scull effectively. The Junior groups will continue with backstroke/breaststroke this week and learning/improving backstroke flip turns and finishes. The Senior group is continuing dryland circuit training and increasing their pratice distance on a daily basis.
Junior Elite: If you have not met for goal setting please see me. I am taking appointments Wednesday evenings. Let me know if you need a goal book.
Senior: Dryland on Wednesdays and Fridays in Fitness Room B at 4:00PM at the YMCA. Wear appropriate work out clothes and shoes!
All swimmers please remember to bring the following to practice:
Goggles- you might invest in an extra pair, just in case!
Cap-girls at practice, everyone at meets
Fins- we will be ordering them soon, do not buy scuba fins!
Water or sports drink- Accelerade, Endurox, (only found at GNC or internet) Gatorade
