And so it begins

Hey All,

Practice has been going great these last weeks as the team continues to improve. On Friday we worked on goal setting for the year and are really striving to be CRISP in all of our moves. We have already started writing our team routine and have the first lap done which is more than we have had at this time in past years. After tryouts last week, the team was named as well as the small routines. At the moment we are seeing drastic improvements among all the swimmers.
Last Tuesday we did a demonstration for a company in Cape Cod. We were so honored to be the entertainment for the evening and were treated like Olympians. It was our first opportunity to see how the freshmen perform under pressure and they did an excellent job!!!

Although we are approaching a much needed October break, we will be land drilling daily and be back in the pool on Wednesday.

Happy Synchro New Year!

Hey everyone,

The first two weeks of practice have been great. We feed off of each others energy and have a strong team bond already. Our three freshmen have been a great addition to our team. At the end of this week we will hold team tryouts where we will be performing a quick paced and fun tryout routine. From watching my teammates swim in groups, it feels great to say we are already stronger than we have been in past years.


It has been difficult at first to manage our scholastics with our added practice on Thursday evenings but we can do anything and in time it will become easier. The second practice is a great way for us to get use to swimming in the late afternoon when most of our competitions occur. Hopefully these great new changes as well as our daily gymnastics warm up will take the team to the next level.

Have a great week,
~Rebecca Gordon

Summer

Its finally the end. It has been a great year full of many accomplishments and great new friendships. We are so excited for our incoming freshmen and are already looking forward to next season. One of our final team projects was a clinic we hosted on Sunday. We had a great time teaching and writing routines with local club teams as well as working on other skills and techniques. It was a successful day and we are so glad to be able to help and form a close bond with age group swimmers. Finals are coming up and although we are stressed and overwhelmed, we still find time for each other because even when we are out of the pool we are a team and we are best friends. After spending months seeing the same people multiple times a day you would think we would need a break but the truth is, we don't really know what life would be like without each other. I know I will definitely miss my girls and will be on Skype daily with my best friends. Synchro is a part of us not only for the sport but for the experience and relationships that come out of it. Until next season, ~Rebecca
