Christmas Break Schedule

Christmas Break Practice Schedule, 2010/2011

Parents & Swimmers:

Christmas break is here! This is the MOST important training time of the year. This is where the guys push the hardest and get in shape for the remainder of the year. These two weeks can make or break a swimmer’s season, and we want to give the team the best possible chance for success!

With the size of our team, it is impossible to effectively train in a 6 lane pool. Since we will be at multiple locations (Calvin and Ottawa Hills) over the two weeks of Christmas break, we divided the team into different practice times so that all 34 guys are not in the water at the same time. The Sprint group will be doing some weight lifting at GRCHS.

Each week (12/20-24 and 12/27-31) will consist of 5 practices, Monday through Friday, for a total of 10 practices. We have had issues with the start time in the past. Over the break, the time that it says the practice starts means that is the time that athletes need to jump into the water. So, if your practice starts at 11am, you will want to allow some time to change and get on deck. If you aren’t jumping in the water at 11am, you are late.

All these practices are also posted on the Team Calendar.

Here is the schedule for 12/20-24:
