Going into the next week, we will be dropping the hammer with the Hamden/North Haven Typhoon swimmers. Each individual swimmer will be focusing on race technique and overall meet performance as we near closer to Friday and Saturday.
For Friday evening, the arrival time for 13 and over swimmers at the Northern Middlesex YMCA is 4:45pm. Warm-ups will start at 5:00pm, and the meet will start as soon as possible following warm-ups and one-way starts.
For Saturday, the arrival time for the 12 and under swimmers at the Northern Middlesex YMCA is 6:45am. Warm-ups will start at 7:00am, and the meet will start (as long as all goes to plan).
So, in the coming week, practices will be a bit shortened for the Juniors and Seniors as we will be decreasing our total yardage by 100 yards per day until we reach our max taper at 1350 yards per hour. The intensity of practice will maintain, and hopefully we will see an ideal 4 – 6% drop in times for our sprint/stroke events, and around a 2 – 4% drop for the distance events.
As always, if you have any questions about the meet or practice times, etc, please contact me at any point!
