Bulletin Boards Ready for 2013-2014 Season

As anyone that spends time around our pool knows, its fun to look at the updated bulletin boards from year to year. This year's versions are all done and ready for another swim season. Our team broke off into four groups to do this year's version and they turned out great!

Swim Lessons!



A GREAT Haven Swimming tradition! Our swim lessons are giving our women a chance to work with local kids from the community and they have a fun time while doing it!

In the early part of the season, we take 8 evenings to have swim lessons. Its hard to believe that we have already been through a week of lessons.

The program will run through October 3rd. If you've missed out don't worry, we will have another session in the early spring!

Wednesday Afternoon Work



Practices have begun and the women are working hard! We have been lifting 3 times a week this season instead of just 2, and I think we will see dividends right away from this extra work! 
 
The set below is the one we did at yesterday afternoon’s practice. The set is continuous, rest is built in. What was so great about it was that after a hard day of lifting at 6am and a full practice, the women really got up to race as a team. We have time trials on Saturday morning and I am looking forward to seeing where their times will be at heading into the season!
