News/Information & Tuesday morning W/O

[Mark Anderson]

All -

   Two items this morning.

 

    First: the workout. 400's - thanks to Joey Crawford for leading me to see the light of 400s for practice today.  Good times!

 

    Secondly, I previously mentioned that the masters group would participate in a swim meet at the YFC. Hopefully you have seen some of the fliers going around for Olympic Day at the YMCA on Saturday June 9th. Please see the two flyers explaining what it is - and it is calling ALL Athletes. I am calling all of you masters swimmers - it is a day to see if you can be Michael Phelps or Florida's Ryan Lochte!  You are hereby on notice that you should participate! Maybe we can beat some of the TYS kids - wouldn't that be fun.

   It is all for underprivleged children.  So the meet will be at the YFC - starting at 9AM(warmups 8AM).  The masters group will swim several events: 50 Free, 50 Back, 100 Free, 100 Back and 100 IM. If others want to swim something else, we'll try to incorporate it in (Say 200 Fly or 400 IM).  There definitely will be either a 50 Breast or 100 Breast - because that's my favorite stroke. Anyway, it is $25 for all of those or any of the events.  Please come out, sprint and get a great workout. Let's get some good times out there - and then we can compare them with the Olympic swimmers in July to see how we stand.

I will also try to get Kirsten or Johnda to play the Olympic theme music if that truly inspires you to swim fast. 

 

We will start doing more starts and turns, too, in practice.

 

The flyers and workout are attached.  Please take a look!

 

Thanks,

Mark
