It is the second week of tenth grade and this week I had / am going to have my first four practices in swim team. I swam on monday afternoon, and wednesday morning, and today I will swim on thursday afternoon, and tomorrow on friday afternoon. I was happy to get back into the pool and start working out again, but I was surprised at how unfit I have become over the summer!
The new ISK swim coach is really nice, and his assistant coach (a young lady) is also very encouraging and friendly. The workouts this week consisted of endurance exercises and sprints. We did the normal thing of covering each stroke, kicking, and pulling. On monday afternoon we also did a relay race near the end of the session. The coaches pushed us to do flip turns during the practice, so that we would be prepared for competition.

The basic requirements for swim team are a water bottle (to stay hydrated), goggles, and a swim cap (so that you'll get used to the feeling of wearing it).
I can't wait to get back in shape, and do some competitions!
