Core Values to focus in on this week at practice:

  • Show Up – Ready to build on prior knowledge
  • Honor your teammates with your effort – Keeping negative comments out of the pool and out of our heads!
  • Do things Correctly – Streamline!

Focus: Exercise and Sleep: This week we will talk about the importance of getting a good night of sleep is not only good for the upcoming practice but also aids in recovery from the last one!

See you at the pool!
