WG TTh RACE TEAMERS: We’ve added two days for the WG Tuesday/Thursday Race Team swimmers to make up for some pool closures. The TTh Race Team swimmers can attend practice at WGMS on October 12 or 26 at 8:45, 9:30 or 10:15am. These are only for TTh WG Race Team swimmers.
SATURDAY AT WG: We are still TBD on the location for the Varsity, Senior and JV+ location for Saturday. Dave’s JV/Prep group will swim at WGM (as there is a polo game at the HS.)
FITTER AND FASTER CLINIC: We are thrilled to have been invited by our friends at Fitter & Faster to attend an upcoming Fast Starts, Turns, Underwaters & More Swim Camp that will start on October 12 & 13 at Yerba Buena High School.
The clinic will be led by National Champion and Pan American Games gold medalist, Giles Smith. He is known for his precision of technique especially towards the end of races when his competitors are fatiguing. Learn how to achieve AND maintain fast and efficient swimming all the time by learning from Giles Smith!
This is the most popular curriculum that Fitter & Faster offers and we do expect the spots to fill quickly. I highly recommend signing up today to secure a spot for your swimmer(s). If you have any questions about the clinic email Michael Plantamura at [email protected] and he will help you out.
There will be two sessions each day, one for swimmers 12 & under the other for 13 & over. The curriculum each day will be:
October 12: Explosive Starts, Underwaters & Breakouts
October 13: Faster Flip Turns, Open Turns & Finishes
Ages 12 & under: CLICK HERE for details and registration
Ages 13 & over: CLICK HERE for details and registration
USA SWIMMING REGISTRATION: Many thanks to all who registered their swimmers this month. If you are a returning swimmer, your registration may not expire until the end of 2024. You’d need to complete registration before the end of December. If your swimmer is not registered by the end of 2024, your swimmer is not able to attend practice in the new year until registration is complete.
PRIVATE LESSONS: Is your swimmer looking for a bit of one-on-one instruction? We have Tuesday and Thursday lessons available at both Crossgates and WGMS. Sign up for individual lessons on the events tab under “private lessons” and then click “job sign up” to select the day and time of the lesson.
