As
the saying goes "Rome was not built in a day" and this statement rings
very true for both the members of the National Development and Provincial 1 groups.
We have slowly started to gain some momentum over the past month with a steady
increase in the number of practices per week, along with the amount of mileage
we are swimming at each workout. With the opening of Douglas Snow in October,
we were able to indulge in some very exciting test sets in a long-course environment,
with both groups swimming together, which added some great excitement and enthusiasm
to our Wednesday morning workouts. We have also had the privilege of training
with Coach Murray's National group on Saturday afternoon where many times we are
forced to take our training to new heights and push ourselves to levels where
we have never been. We also took part in a training camp over Thanksgiving weekend
with the National group, which included a very fun "turkey shoot" practice
on the Sunday afternoon (on a side note Coach John was very pleased that no one
lost an eye while throwing darts at the Turkeys during this workout - ha ha).
-Gamal- best times in both the 50 fly and 100 breast Next

meet at Brantford for our 12 and unders. Talk to you soon, John-aka "Paul" October - Swimmers of the Month National
