Test Set Tuesdays!

Two weeks ago we started Test Set Tuesdays. The basic premise is that we have four different test sets. We will do one per week every Tuesday. After the fourth Tuesday, we will start the cycle over. Test set #1 is a kick set, #2 is a sprint freestyle set, #3 is a distance freestyle set, and #4 is an IM set. We will see our progression through the season illustrated with these test sets! Here are the results from the first two Test Set Tuesdays:

Test Set #1 - Kick

Flipturn Policy

Upon reflection of the Poppy Meet, I have decided to institute a new flipturn policy for all Fitness Development practices. Flipturns are now MANDATORY during practice for freestyle and backstroke! I know water gets in the nose. We’ll fix that.

Poppy Meet Review

It was a solid weekend of racing. Some personal highlights include Omar's 50 fly, Shelby's 50 fly, Matt's 200 freestlye, and Caleb's 50 freestyle. Now Fitness Development has times to beat! Also, I would like to thank Silvertide's website/blog guru Dennis Anderson for the Harvery's veggie burger on Sunday. Fake meat has never tasted so good. I took some blog pics, I'll post them here soon!!

PS James if you are reading this, this weekend was RAD. So much fun for everyone. You NEED to come to a swim meet to enjoy the RADNESS.

POPPY MEET TIME CHANGE!!!

Warmup on Saturday has been moved to 11:00A.M.

Cat is Back!!

Catherine Bezeau is a lovely girl from the province of Quebec. She swam with Silvertide maybe 4 years ago while on an exchange program. She came back this week for a visit!!
