Friday Evening, April 5, 2019- DS Coaches Dinner

Thanks to Allie, Andrea & Kristy for all your hard work to get our new site at DS off the ground! It's been a great SCY season and I'm very excited about our prospects for the LCM season.


To briefly review SCY:

• A little goes a long way;
• Drylands help (but be careful to avoid the "yo-yo syndrome");
• You can't fake good distance swimming;
• Good planning is key.

Looking ahead to LCM:

• Drills- balance, balance, balance (but don't forget about those power drills altogether!);
• Kicking is key
• Drylands as an emphasis helps younger, inexperienced kids who don't necessarily like LCM;
• Fewer opportunities to race, make the most of them;
• Take time to plan, it's over before you know it;
• ADMIN: Placements for next year's groups, lanespace for next year, meet schedule for 2020.

Thanks again for everything you've done to help make the Dulles South site successful in our very first season! Be sure to let me know if you have any questions (about anything: training, schedules, planning, opportunities for you or a specific athlete you coach, etc...)- let's keep the dialogue going!
