Captain's Practice

The Wells swim team has a tradition of holding a captain's practice sometime during January training but it is always a surprise. In fact, I usually play along and tell the rest of the team what a hard practice today is going to be! Even though we were one captain short, we still had a great time!

Here are some pictures...
The captain split the swim team into two smaller teams. They had to go around campus and find items that represented each swimmer's personality. As you can see the team on the right is holding a mop - one of our swimmers is very into cleaning - EVERYTHING!

Dodgeball - But where's the other team?

ON GUARD!!!

At the very end, our Captain handed out Paper Plate awards that he designed himself. Even the coach's got one.

Mine said, " Would Swim it for you if she could (and would be better than you)" Award

January Training Begins!

The swimmers are back on campus training twice a day in the pool plus an hour of dryland training 2-3 times a week.

So far, we have had 3 practices (plus dryland) and everyone is getting back in the grove of things. There are still a few swimmers that were not able to make it back to campus yesterday but we will have our whole team by next Monday.

We did loose our female captain, Kelsey because we will be study abroad in Spain for the semester. Her leadership and commitment to the team will be missed.
