NEYS swim practice is canceled tonight, Monday, 2/23. 

The Nazareth YMCA facility and pool will be open for swimmers to come in and swim individually; however, all age group programming and sports have been canceled for the night.

If coming in on your own:

1. Do your regular, non-taper, warm-up.
2. Think of 1-2 events/strokes you want to focus on.
3. Do one set for each, include a drill first, followed by the main set second, then kicking third. Yardage and intensity will vary by age and ability.
4. Either just do this once or repeat for the second focus.
5. NO USE of BLOCKS when coaches are not there, so do some sprint turns instead.
6. Cool Down

There is no need to do as much yardage as a normal practice, just focusing in on the 1-2 things you want to accomplish, do those, and feel strong in it. This type of hyper focused, individualized practice can be useful if: 1. If you don't fool around, 2. waste time dilly dallying, 3. get it done quicker than a regular practice.

Anyway, I've got to go shovel some snow now. :)

See you on deck,

Coach Drake
