Monday, September 21, 2009 – We will begin our seasonal practice schedule. If you are not sure of this schedule you can find it on the VAST website under the Group Calendar tab. I have listed the link below for your access. Each group has their own calendar, so make sure you are looking at the correct one.
 
 
During the first couple of weeks we will be teaching and demonstrating stroke techniques and drills for each stroke. Also during this time I will be evaluating each swimmer to make sure each athlete is in the correct group, so when Monday, September 21, 2009 comes around the swimmers will be in their group and ready to train.
