GPS Practice Update & Reminders, May 2025
May 22nd
Hello Lightning Bolts, :)
Just some reminders -
- There IS PRACTICE today & tomorrow, Thursday & Friday (5/22, 5/23).
- NO PRACTICE on Monday, 5/26 - Memorial Day - Please remember to honor those who died serving our country and defending the Constitution of the United States.
- Download the Swimtopia app to your phone to get team notifications and swim meet information.
FUN FRIDAYS - On most Fridays, we will do widths and play Sharks & Minnows. However, this is NOT a day off. "Widths Workouts" can be physically demanding and push swimmers, yet also be fun to do because of the way we mix things up. Sharks & Minnows reinforces racing skills (diving, streamlining, breath control, tenacity, grit).
As a result, please attend these practices if your schedule allows.
HIGH SCHOOL SWIMMERS - If you blow these days off, then we will just stop doing Fun Fridays for your practice sessions and training group and you'll have a regular workout. PARENTS - please share this message with your HS age swimmer.
See you on deck,
Coach Drake
