In the next two weeks everyone has a swim meet. It is important that you are at practices everyday. Long course season is a lot shorter and therefore we have less chances to qualify for meets. The whole group is entered into Double Double and for most it is their first long course meet of the year.
EKI is the next weekend and everyone will be swimming that weekend either practices or at the meet. We have Brendan, Connor, James, Kevin, Ryan, Jasmin, Sarah and Robyn qualified for the meet. At that meet it is heats and finals and ALL swimmers are expected to be back for finals each night. Distance events start Thursday and everyone but Ryan has an event that night.
After EKI we head back to training and move onto swim-a-thon, Silver Cup, Red Deer or Cascade, then the provincial meets start. After that there is Age Group Nationals and possibly a meet in San Jose (Far Westerns). Stay tuned for more info to come.
With only a few chances to qualify for that next level it is important to stay healthy and get to the pool everyday.
