Full Speed Ahead

We are off to the races. The next few weeks are very busy for not only our group but all of Silver Tide. This weekend we kick it off with the Silver Cup, then Red Deer (think SUN!!), Age Group Trials, Team Fun Meet, and then last but not least Age Group Champs. Remember to wear your team clothes and to come ready to show off your improved skills.

STAY POSITIVE!This is the time of the year where illnesses, exams, projects, field trips and nicer weather can take its toll. Be sure to maintain a positive attitude, and know that all of your hard work will pay off, both in the pool and in life. Staying positive is not only a characteristic for a great and successful swimmer, but it will make you feel better, and it can uplift those around you. Your friend in the next lane might be feeling down, and your positive outlook could mean a lot in those difficult and trying sets. Be a positive influence in the group! Lets help each other finish the year off successfully.

T.E.A.M. – This stands for Together Everyone Achieves More. Pushing each other in workout, having a positive attitude, and cheering on your team makes everyone better.


STAYING HEALTHY!
This is the time of year we like to increase our load by enjoying the weather outside. Try to prevent illnesses by getting enough sleep, eating healthy, staying hydrated and by washing your hands. Unfortunately, even if you are doing all of the right things to stay healthy, those pesky bugs can still latch on and make you sick. If this does in fact happen, play it smart. Continue to eat healthy, increase your fluid intake, and for goodness sake, get MORE rest! It is much better to get that rest early on and get yourself back to normal, than to run yourself into the ground and end up having to miss several workouts or more. Also with track and outdoor events remember to wear your sunscreen and always carry your water bottle.



If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.
