Great relay starts aren't just about timing.
They're about MOMENTUM!
Fast arm swings and forceful steps result in more MOMENTUM!
Clean entries help maintain that MOMENTUM!
Have I mentioned the importance of momentum?
When you scoured the 2017 UIL Region VII-5A results, you noticed the errors in our consol-winning 400 free relay, right?
Correct splits are: 1:02.75, 1:09.92, 1:03.57, & 1:02.87.
We'll all sleep better now, right?
Love distance? Hey, who doesn't!?!? Watch this:
Remind me to tell you a story about announcer Sam Kendrick.
When our buddy Eddie was asked to list his three (3) keys to swimming success, he responded:
1) We need to take care of the athlete,
2) take care of each other (team), and
3) try to outwork everybody.
Eddie's brother, Randy, gave his as:
1) Great strokes,
2) hard work, and
3) coming to all the workouts.
