Spring at The Swimming Hole -

The Stowe Swimmers have been in the pool for 5 weeks of our Spring Stroke Clinic!  One week left and we will be watching the videos of our workouts to check in on technique.  Our goals have been to work on our underwaters off the wall, meaning our dolphin kicks.  To use each wall to gain speed and explode rather than rest off the wall with passive legs.  We have committed one week to each stroke, to practice drills and body position.  This week we revisited intervals and steady cardio efforts, holding pace at 65-70% of max. 

5 swimmers volunteered at the 9th Annual Stowe Triathlon and helped time the participants' 500 meter swims in the pool.  They represented their Club well and cheered for the racers and enjoyed watching a 500 rather than swimming one for a change.  They also got to watch and time their coach race, which was fun role reversal!  Thanks Rachel, Emily, Seychelle, Megan, and Heidi!

Summer Swim Club starts on Monday, June 18th

We are looking forward to a fast and fun 7 week season working toward the Vermont State Swim Championships!
