Nutrition

the year. Make sure you are eating plenty of protein and carbohydrates
throughout your day to maintain your energy.
§
Sleep
is an important component as well. Although our schedule is challenging, it is
important to try to get to bed at a reasonable hour. Finishing your homework before practice will
go a long way in ensuring you get a good night’s sleep.

F.
Parents/Guardians
§
YOU are a vital link to the success of our program. We ask that
you be open in your communication with/about your swimmer. The coaches are very
open, friendly people. Please feel free to speak with us before or after
practice or via email. We are here to help you and your swimmer the best way we
know how.
§
We also need you to help run home meets. In order to run a
successful meet we need at least 18 people:
o
14 timers, 2 runners, 2 scorers
o
A representative from each family should plan to work at least one
or two home meets. Let’s not have the same people do it over and over!
G. Injuries
§
During the course of the season, you will go through numerous
injury prevention routines (i.e. stretching, dry land, etc). However, there is
always the possibility of an injury. Your health is very important to us,
therefore injuries must be reported to the coaching staff immediately so that
we can start treatment right away. Being injured does not excuse an athlete
from practice. You are required to attend or your treatment may take place at
this time.
