Clinics and Goals - Always a Full Plate!

Practices are going great as we're getting ready for Duke Zielinski and the Josephson Twins to visit and whip the girls into shape with a 2 day clinic! We've been having lots of fun creating new lifts and throws...as always some work great
and others...lets just say "we'll work on it". We've finally set some new team goals and are looking forward to that "Wow look at Wheaton" reaction.
On the recruiting side of things we are currently up to 5 Early Decision athletes. How exciting! Our most recent application came from our swimmer in Mexico. Till admissions makes their decision we'll all hold our breath (synchro swimmers do this so well) till you all get in.
If you are a current recruit and are still interested in coming out for a visit, no worries we can still squeeze ya in. Just give me a ring and let me know what days work best for you. Hope to hear from you all soon!

The Wheaton Synchro Season Begins...

And their off! The girls hit the water swimming this season and I have to say after our first two weeks of practice, I'm impressed. This has to be one of the most motivated group of girls I've ever had the chance to work with. We've nailed down our first lap of team and I can already tell it's going to be amazing. Small routines are also underway with some proving to be a little more challenging to choreograph then others...but we'll get there.

We had our first team dinner hosted by the Swinkins last Sunday where we had inspirational talks and were given great motivational tokens. Each swimmer was given a value (IE. trust, inspire, perseverance) and was told that their job for the year was to bring that value to the team.

The girls are still going to the weight room with our strength trainer 2x a week and are looking to add a third day next week. During their time with the strength trainer they use weights, go on Indian runs, and even participate in Pilates every Friday.

On anther note we have our first 3 early decision applications in hand and are eagerly awaiting more. Remember, your chances at acceptance are better when you apply early decision...so if you know Wheaton's the right place for you, go for it!

That's it for now! Remember to let me know if you have any questions or need some help with the application process. Hope your seasons are off to a great start and hope to hear from you soon!

Wheaton Synchro Pre-season 08

Hi All!
So classes are underway and preseason has started. It's great to see the returning swimmers back in the water and the new ones for the first time. They've been enjoying their first few weeks together by learning their tryout routine, attending weight room sessions and stretching like crazy. They've even made preseason fun by going on scavenger hunts, team dinners, and even movie nights.
As for me, I'm getting ready for convention and working hard to find just the right recruits for the team. I'm starting to set up visit dates for current recruits and hoping to track down a few more whom have the Wheaton "IT" factor. If you think this is something you have, a true passion for synchro, you could be just what Wheaton's looking for. Feel free to contact me and let me know you're interested in coming for an overnight visit with the team.
I'm hoping to have the Wheaton captain's post some photos from the scavenger hunt...so stay tuned for a laugh. Till then work hard and best of luck!
