Current Focus: State Championships – 13years +
We have outlined our goals…off the back of Metro…see Metro reflection sheet.
Communication will be push out via TeamAPP. This includes final relay teams and an update of the heats and final sessions.
Uniform for the meet, Heats any Abb shirt; Finals Yellow ABB shirt.
Arrive for relays 90 mins prior to the relay being raced.
Our expectation is that you attack each race you are in…
- Bring your Swim League racing mindset to each race…Lions vs Orcas spirit
- Plan your days to allow for your best recovery…so you can swim fast for 4 days
- Be kind to yourself and all those in your support team (parents), this way everyone will be able to have a great week
- Support our finalists and relay swimmers throughout the week, if you are not in a final or relay…see if you can make a special effort to come and support your teammates, the last night is always a great vibe too. It’s a great way to celebrate a fun week at the pool.
