The anticipated wait for our first practice is over.

Saturday brought many returning and new members together.

The level of concentration and commitment was apparent after the first few minutes.

The talent level far exceeds any other year.

You have all encouraged many friends/ family to try our team and it is great to see some returnees from time past back in the pool.

 

Our team thrives on the ability of each athlete to focus on the drills/skills/training concepts presented at each practice and new and as expected returning swimmers did just that!!!!

It is through this focus on the little things at each practice and getting them right that you will take you from our current excellence level to that of TRANSCENDING EXCELLENCE...which is the theme for this year.

This week will bring more new and returning members to the pool and I would encourage you all to enjoy the fun, fit and focused competitive experience that Technosport will bring.

 

Please review the following as  I am having problems with Outlook Express and you may not have received the following notices or you may have received multiples of the same...either way...please act upon my requests below so that we stay on top of all the administrative details that go into making our club a finely tuned machine.

 

IMPORTANT TO ACT NOW: If you have not already, please reconfirm by return email the Plan that you have selected and any addition that you may wish to add. I will cross check your selection with my records. See attached and review notice below. 

 

Plan A is 5:30-6:30AM Monday/Wednesday only plus the other 4 practices during the week.

Plan B is 6:30-7:30AM Monday/Wednesday only plus the other 4 practices during the week.

Plan C is either 5:30-6:30 or 6:30-7:30AM Monday/Wednesday ...not both...plus the other 4 practices during the week.($60.00 extra  for the year).

 Other Important Announcements:

 

1) Track Registration:

 

Our track season begins, Monday, Sept. 11      

All Technosport athletes are encouraged to participate. Our track coaches gear practices to meet the needs of both the tri-athlete and those aiming to improve their conditioning through cross-training.

 

Times:  Monday  6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Place:  Immaculata High School Track

Cost:  $269.00

 

2)  Friday "Skills and Drills" Swim Practices: 7:00 - 7:30 a.m.

 

Similar to our mini-camps, these supplementary practices are designed for swimmers of all levels: specific stroke improvement, flips, turns, etc. Coaching is for those who need the basics and for those who need refinement of basic skills already acquired.

We need about 10 more registrants for this program to be feasible this year. 

Cost:  $60     (considerably less than mini-camps)

 

3)  Two hour practices:  Monday and Wednesdays, 5:30 to 7:30 a.m.

 

Again, to be sure everyone fully understands... This year we have purchased extra pool time so that swimmers may opt for varying practice schedules to meet their needs.  As well, many of our athletes will be taking advantage of this, and training/swimming for two consecutive hours on Monday and Wednesday mornings. 

Cost:  $150 *

*If you would just like the flexibility of attending either the 5:30 or the 6:30 a.m. practice on Mondays, the cost is $60.
