Merry Christmas HAST families and Swimmers
Hope everyone is enjoying these few days off. For the ones that are conscious of their conditioning, you should be doing something physical just to maintain. This could be some dryland, playing outside, jogging.
We have done enough so I am sure you can build your own. Do all your favorite exercises just alternate, muscle groups, EG. ABS/Back, Shoulders/Legs.
Practice reminder -@ Hilton Pool over Christmas Break. Come dressed to swim.
Wednesday AM to Friday 6:00-8:00AM for Lane 3-Lane 8 swimmers.
Nights or PM - W,Thursday 5:30-7:30, Friday 5:00-700PM. Their will not be any dryland over break. Swimmers can do that at home on their own time.

HAST will be having 2 practice a day over Christmas week. The morning practice is for swimmers that would normally swim in Lanes 3 to 8. Recently we have had many swimmers come down with colds or have missed practice do to other obligations. Attending both practices a day will help get back some of what was lost in training. Keep in mind January and February are action packed and Championships Are exactly 8 weeks away.
The calendar looks like this.

Mornings - Wednesday,Thursday, Friday 6-8AM- With a smile since you are on vacation.
Afternoon- Wednesday, Thursday 5:3-7:30PM ,
Friday 5:00-7:00PM .

In the evening another swim club will be following HAST, this affects everyone. Please do not leave locker rooms a mess. Do not leave valuables in locker room. So the best scenario would be to arrive at the pool dressed ready to swim, place bag on deck bleacher, practice, dry off put warm ups on and go home then take shower, also you can play with your new toys quicker.
Any questions, talk to me before or after practice,
