Inquire with your coach to find out what time the tent will be set-up. Let's all help to set-up and take down the tent so we may all enjoy the swim meet in the cool shade! Please kokua and take turns timing at the meets so everyone can enjoy watching their child(ren) swim. Timing at a meet is part of our commitment as parents.

Tip Corner: 3 Exercises to Strengthen the
Shoulders Most top professionals, elite juniors, college players, and high school players incorporate strength training and conditioning into their preparation for competition. But such training is not just for these elite players. The recreational player and beginners can also benefit from this sport-specific strength training. One area of particular attention when I work with athletes is the shoulders. Having strong shoulders is important to any "overhead" athlete such as volleyball players, softball players and swimmers. Overhead athletes must have strong, well-conditioned shoulders to be effective and remain injury-free. A well-rounded sports-conditioning program for overhead athletes should include exercises intended to address the entire shoulder, particularly the rotator cuff. Here are three of my favorite exercises that I use to help to strengthen that area:
This is a good exercise for the rotator cuff, one of the shoulder's potential trouble spots. Start Start in your "relaxed stance" as mentioned earlier. Place a light dumbbell in one hand and place that hand, palm down, on the opposite thigh (for example, put the thumb of your right hand on your left thigh). Keep your arm straight throughout this exercise.
Draw your arm across your body (out and up to above your opposite shoulder). Once your hand has reached a level above your shoulder, return to your starting position.
Perform this exercise slowly. Complete 12 repetitions, and make sure you switch arms. |
