Revisiting Granite High

Saturday we went back to Granite for practice.  There was a big high school water polo tournament at the new pool.  I had one of my old swimmers from Murray come.  It was so great to see him!  I hope that he decides to swim with us in the future. 

Here is the workout from Laura.

Back at Granite

We were back at Granite this morning (and tomorrow too).  There is a water polo tournament at the fancy new pool.  I am not sure if everyone got the message, though.

Here was today's workout:

Great long free!

This was a great workout from Wes.  I thought the main set would be kind of boring.   But I had to think so much about when to go that it wasn't boring at all.  I averaged about 1:15's on the 100's

2x100 @ 1:35
2x100 @ 1:30

3x100 @ 1:40
3x100 @ 1:35
3x100 @ 1:30
3x100 @ 1:25

This was a tough set to count.  I am really glad that I had a round clock to use instead of the digital ones.

I am back in the pool!

It has taken me about 3 weeks, but I am back in the pool.  Thanks to Amelia for getting her sleep under control.  It also helps that I only have 3 months to get ready for Bear Lake.

Here is the workout from Joel:

Here is an interesting tidbit, we are signing papers on our new home on Wednesday!  We are moving back into my old stomping grounds~Canyon Rim.  I am so excited and thrilled!

Middle Distance day

I promise, I will swim again.  I just have not been getting any sleep at nights.  Amelia has been waking up all night, and crying for hours.  I think it is her new tooth.  The last few nights have been better, so I should be able to swim next week.  I am avoiding swimming tomorrow because the SL Marathon is going past our house and I really want to be here to watch it!  We watched last year and it was a blast!

Online Meet Entries Extended!

We decided to extend the online registration for the Championship Meet (that this Saturday) until Thursday at noon.  That gives people plenty of time to register online (rhyme-time).  Go to www.olympusaquatics.com or https://www.clubassistant.com/club/meet_information.cfm?c=2168&smid=5374. It will be at our fabulous new pool.  I swam there for the first time this morning.  It is AMAZING!  Except I could not figure out how to make the showers warm.  Come join us...even if you just want to see the new pool.

Here is Tom's workout from this morning:

Last Masters At Granite High!

It was our last Masters practice at Granite High.  It is kind of sad, because I love that pool.  But it will be wonderful to be in the brand new Olympus Pool!

200 Kick
100 Drill

4x50 Drill

Kick Set (4 times)
Descend
100

Main Set (2 times)
Pull & Descend like before
200
150
100
50

Cool Down
100

2,800 Yards Total

If I was to do this main set again, I would start with a 300 or 250.  That would be a really easy way to add 500-600 yards.

All by myself...

This is the first, and hopefully last, time I swam in the Granite pool completely by myself.  I didn't feel very comfortable about it but I was up and it had been a tough time getting there.  So I stayed to swim.  I am sorry to any masters who came, I was not there until 6am.  Starting on Monday we won't have any issues like this because there will always be someone there to open the new pool!

Speaking of the new pool, there have been some questions about parking. I have not been able to ask Shawn about it; however, I plan to park in the lot that is on Lincoln Lane.  That is the south side of the campus.  The front door to the pool is on the east side, just around the corner from this parking lot.  I think you can park in the big parking lot, but the high schoolers might be vying for those spots by the time we get out, and I want to avoid them as much as possible.

Here is what I did this morning:

500 Warm Up

10x100 Free
    4 @ 1:30
    3 @ 1:25
    2 @ 1:20
    1 @ 1:15
