LY FALL START UP 2010 SCHEDULE
For those of you who like to plan ahead, following is a look at how we expect our fall season to begin. Remember that we always start out slowly, reviewing drills and technique before we move into more training. The schedule I am giving you may be adapted to meet our swimmers’ needs as the season gets underway.
NEW SWIMMERS AND ALL RETURNING LY SWIMMERS EXCEPT FOR SENIORS: (Varsity, Platinum, Gold and Blue) will begin practice on Tuesday, September 7th at the Jamerson Y. Swimmers who are 10 and younger will swim from 4-4:45pm, while swimmers who are 11 & older will swim from 4:45-5:30pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. We will follow this same pattern the next week, September 13-16, Monday through Thursday. Some of the Varsity swimmers may go downtown beginning on the 13th, but we will wait and see how everyone looks and try to make those adjustments accordingly. Saturday, September 18th, will be our first stroke clinic and we will also have our fall picnic that day with the place TBA.
By Monday, September 20th, we should have more regular practice times. The Blue group will be practicing from 4-5pm, two days with practice offered Monday through Thursday, and the Gold group will be practicing 4-5:30pm, Monday through Thursday. We will be using ALL EIGHT LANES at the Jamerson YMCA during this time and you can expect to see Lisa, Priscilla, Karis, and Hank on the pool deck. Please encourage your summer league friends to come join us so that we can fill up the lanes!
We will also be hosting the first meet of the season again on September 24-26th at the JY.
National Group swimmers will begin with MORNINGS ONLY. The first practice will be on Monday, August 30th at the Downtown Y. Practice will be Monday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings the first week at 5:30 and will be adding workouts as swimmers progress.
Beginning Monday, 9/13/10, expect a normal morning schedule, with Monday morning at the downtown Y and Tuesday and Thursday backed up to 5AM at the Jamerson.
