Well done to the Tiger Sharks and Great Whites for the set-up in training last week. After requesting all swimmers to swim at least one more session than their usual week 90% of the group have rose to the occasion, many having best training weeks to date!

Looking back at this time last year, 25 weeks out from Queensland States, we had 8 swimmers totalling their weekly metres in the 30km’s, 5 swimmers in the 40km’s and 1 swimmer in the 50km’s.

Last week we had 12 swimmers in the 30km’s, 3 swimmers in the 40km’s and 8 swimmers doing 50km or more!!!

To add to that the Hammerhead Sharks had four swimmers attending 9 sessions last week!!!

It would be excellent if we can continue this commitment over the last two weeks of the school holidays as this is the time in the year to really step-up and build a great fitness base leading into the second half of the season.

Make sure you use your extra time at home wisely, stretching, eating healthy and keeping hydrated as this will help you maintain a high level of training.
