Morning Practices

Dear BEST parents and athletes,

Currently we have Tuesday and Thursday mornings available from 5:30-7:00am for Silver and Gold swimmers over 13 to practice. For the past 3 weeks, attendance has not been ideal. As many of you know, AM workouts are expected of high school swimmers and we would like to see similar dedication with our club. Depending on when school starts for you, it is possible to swim for an hour and leave early as opposed to not attending at all.

The overall goal of a practice session is to work towards a cumulative yardage total. With morning practice, swimmers can have an extra 2-3 hours weekly in the pool. At the end of the month, this is 8-12 hours extra of swimming. By the end of the season this is a significant increase which will benefit the swimmer greatly, as we saw with the athletes who came to last year's AM practices.

The coaching staff is looking forward to having more swimmers participate in morning practices!

Thanks,

Coach Marcelo
