Winter 2017-18

[Mike Leake]

Good evening everyone. Just a reminder that we continue our practices on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings. Both the high school and Marauders are now in the water so keep in mind that home swim meets may cause an adjustment to our practices. To this point, the Marauders are hosting a mock mini meet with another team this Saturday, December 9th, so we will NOT have practice.

Our workouts are featuring a little more speed work through the end of this year, and starting in January we will look to train for the annual 1 hour swim. More information about that is upcoming. Also, our 7th annual mini swim meet will be held here in Bennington at the end of March or beginning of April so be on the lookout for more information on that as well.

I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season, and I hope to see you in the pool soon.

Winter in Vermont doesn't always disappoint - how is everyone doing with the cold temps and snow? One to the benefits to this weather is that the pool has been on the cooler side this past week (practice at 78 on Tuesday - oh yeah!). Get in on it while we can!

Practices have shifted to some longer sets and a little less rest in preparation for the One Hour Swim. We have until the end of February to swim this annual treat...more details to come.

Some meet news ...

Our 7th Annual Masters meet in Bennington is scheduled for Saturday, April 7th! I would like to see more than 30 swimmers and their families come to our humble pool for some fun competition, so make sure that you make plans to join us. 

In two weeks there is a meet over near Schenectady, NY. Saturday, January 20th, with warmups at 1:30pm and meet starting at 2:30pm. I am planning to have an instructional practice in the morning and then drive over for the meet in the afternoon. Gabby has printed some copies of registration forms and they are on the board near the ladies locker room at the Rec. You do have to be a registered member of USMS to swim - ask me if you need help signing up. Here is the link to the online info/registration:

If anyone is interested in doing some vinyasa yoga when the pool is closed or unavailable, I can teach a class here in my studio as an alternative. Free naturally.
When it’s nice out, I have a big yard platform deck that can be used.
Just a thought.
Cheers
