From Coach Jonny:  

With the weather forecast as being beautiful, sunny, but only a high of 69 degrees we are most likely going to be in the water for a very very limited, IF AT ALL today. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring a towel to lay on, tennis shoes maybe to run with, and REFRAIN from getting in the water before practice (I know that may be difficult). I’d like to avoid shivering children and a negative memory associated with the first day of practice from being frozen due to jumping in and then jumping out frequently and then standing in cold air.

Sometimes the first step to becoming an Olympic swimmer starts by staying warm on the pool deck…ok no one ever said that, but over 20 years of coaching Pre-team tells me, this is the smarter move.

See you at the pool!
