July.
Very Earlybirds, Earlybirds and Nightcaps
Notes
Here are the attendance leaders up to April 12th. The great
attendance records of many of our leaders have suffered this past week
(Gwen had bronchitis, Bernie hurt his

is off to
Bosnia for work, Tony was away again, ...)!

2nd:

Time trials will continue until the second last workout of the
session,
with some fun relays planned for the last day. You can be timed
for any
event(s) that you like, and it's optional... The rough
schedule of
dates remaining is:
Earlybirds & Nightcaps:
Mon Apr 15th, Tue Apr 16th, and Wed Apr 17th: lanes 5-6, or anyone
who
missed out last week
I continue to track fly "Air Miles" for Margaret,
Penny and Sue (Earlybirds).

don't have the complete stats available, Penny is in
the lead
with over 2k fly since March 18th!

Weight Training for Swimmers:
A six-hour program on strength
training for
swimmers was offered 11am-1pm Saturdays January 12th, 19th and February
2nd. This course was poorly attended (4 people) and the Athletics
department is reluctant to offer it again, unless attendance is
up. If you
would be interested in this course either now, in the Spring/Summer or
next
Fall, please let me know . Also, let me know what time/day works
best for
you.
