Notes on Training
- For all weeknight practices we ask our athletes to always bring shoes and be prepared for 20-30 minutes of dryland work (core, legs, fitness, strength).
- For ALL practices it would be a good idea to bring goggles. We will be doing some specific swim training, especially now at the beginning of the season.
- Every season we need to revise our training calendar. We select the days/times we practice based on when the swim team is training, and on how we can maximize the amount of time we get the entire deep pool. On weeknights the swim team uses the deep pool until 8pm so we do dryland work and swim in the shallow pool until then.
- If there’s sufficient demand this fall, which is possible, we have the option to add more weeknight training sessions. For example, we could have an Age Group-only practice on Thursday if it gets too crowded on Monday or Wednesday. Stay tuned. It would be a good “problem” to have.
Tournaments
The Armadillo Classic is updated. It will be hosted at Lewisville Eastside by Mavericks, not by Thunder. Also, OctoPoloFest is no more. It will be replaced by the Alamo Classic in San Antonio. You should plan on all Age Group teams attending that tournament.
