This week July 14-17 is the 10 & U Torture Week (double practices - morning & afternoon)!
This week of extra practices helps swimmers get conditioned and prepared for our upcoming City Meet. Swimmers during their assigned age group week practice in both the morning and the afternoon. Then the following week(s) are taper weeks, less total laps, less hard sets. More focus on the simple things and racing.
T-SHIRT QUALIFICATION: Swimmers must attend 6 out of 7 practices in order to have their name put on and receive the Torture Week t-shirt.
For mornings, swimmers attend their same practice as usual.

After each age group's torture week, it's crucial for swimmers to taper themselves to be fully prepared for the end of the season! Along with being sure to attend practices, swimmers should be generally resting more. Spending all day playing in the sun or other energy draining things are not good ideas if they want to swim your best
