Another great week ahead! Pitt meet this weekend! Let’s be ready, not attending, think of ways to encourage your teammates that are!

Mental Toughness Tuesday (double attendance points!): I have had the opportunity to hear Dr. Alan Goldberg speak at many Swimming Clinics over the years. He is engaging, well-spoken and very knowledgeable! We will be starting his series “Swimming with the Competitive Edge” on Tuesday! Mental toughness is critical in swimming, and we hope to see everyone at practice on Tuesday!
