This Week

First, check out this week's quote.

We're going to find a way to get better this week - with or without a pool.  Get to practice and do your best.  Overcome any barriers you've put in front of yourselves.

We got to see Aussie distance swimming legend Kieren Perkins swim in the '99 US Open in San Antonio.  Perkins finished a close second in the "mile" (1500 meter freestyle) to the next outstanding distance swimmer, fellow countryman Grant Hackett.  We witnessed "the changing of the guard" in men's distance swimming.

Perkins had won gold in '92 & '96 and Hackett went on to win in both '00 & '04.

Every year, Texas college and club programs host high-level meets that draw big-time swimmers.  With a little planning, you can see current and future superstars in person.

Okay, back to this week.  For at least a day or two, we'll be doing strength and flexibility training only.  As soon as the pool's available, we'll get back to swimming/diving.
