Our team shirts are in.  You'll get those at practice next week.

Look for a January practice schedule next week.

We're in the middle of the UIL-mandated five-day "OFF" period.

 

As noted last week, there is NO SUBSTITUTE for two-a-day practices.

 

Take advantage of your holiday training opportunities - we're less than four (4) weeks away from the district meet!

A reminder about #TBW:

 

Make technique a practice priority (quality relay starts, 1 up/1 down breathing on fly, breathe every 3 on free, minimize resistance, maximize streamline speed/distance, improve distance per stroke, emphasize kicking and breath control, etc.).
