CONGRATULATIONS CURTISS AND MARCI
Over the weekend Marci Vega and Curtiss Mueller both qualified for the SI Junior Olympic meet in two weeks. Curtiss had alread qualified in the 50 free but added the 200 and 100 distances to his meet schedule. Marci Qualified in the 50 free, 50 back and 50 breast this weekend in three great swims.
Congratulations both of you on your hard work over the year and especially over winter break.
SWIM FINS REQUIREMENT
Starting in March all Triton swimmers will be required to bring swim fins to practice on a daily basis. A few swimmers already have a pair of fins but for all others, the fins can be purchased a Paradowski's Swim and Sport and I have a pair picked out under our team. It is better to buy the fins a bit large so the kids can grow into them. Until they fit a pair of atheletic socks can be worn with the fins to help with the size difference. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding fins or why we will be using them.
Coach Michael

REMINDER TO WEAR DRYLAND GEAR!
We will be getting back to doing our dryland routine on Saturdays. Please make sure your swimmer wears appropriate running shoes to swim practice. Swimmers should be prepared for dryland every Saturday!
Congrats to all the NEW TRITONS!!!!
We held our first tryouts last weekend and are so excited to welcome all our new Tritons and Lil Tritons! Our team is focused on good technique, great feedback and a good time! So we welcome all of our new members to the Triton family!
4 Minutes!
So far in the season all of the swimmers have been focusing on the basic elements of their stroke as well as turns, coming off the walls and streamlines. However we need to work harder! I have challenged all the swimmers to start thinking about their swims outside the pool. What can make me stronger? For the next few weeks I want all the swimmers to dedicate 4 mintues a day, to perfecting their streamline and building their core. 2 minutes of holding a perfect streamline and two mintues of strait leg scissor kicks from a sitting position. We will be working on it in practice but the real test will show, who are the dedicated swimmers?
Break it down, 10 sec work 5 sec rest for two mintues
commercial breaks
Stretch and 4 minutes in the AM before school to start the day off
Remeber it takes 3 weeks to build a new habbit so help your swimmer succeed!
