Not long now and summer holidays will be upon us, the club has always closed for 2 weeks to allow swimmers parents and coaches to relax, reflect on the previous swimming year and prepare the upcoming year, it also allows swimmers to sleep and eat without the restrictions of exercise.
This year mornings will continue into August, to make up for the many sessions squads 1 2 and 3 have had cancelled due to DCC decisions, normally we cancell throughout the holiday period.
The club will host a full shut after the Sunday session on August 14th and all sessions will recommence on Tuesday 29th August
Note: After a two-week hiatus from the pool, you will feel a renewed desire to get back in the water, you might notice a few subtle changes. Fortunately, recovery from the two-week break will not take long. The longer you stay away from the pool, the longer it will take to get back to the level of fitness you are accustomed to having.
First, after two weeks, you might find that you get a tired a little faster than usual the first few times you get in the pool. This might make you discouraged. You cannot let that happen. As a swimmer, you know that swimming is a mental and physical exercise. The only way to improve is to just keep swimming.
Even if this sounds discouraging, it can be important to take time off. There are moments when the body really does need to rest, this is why sports have off-seasons. If you are swimming four or more times per week, every week, without a break – you are due for one. The mind also needs a break from all of that work. If you have been swimming that often, your body will not fall apart after a two-week break. In fact, you might find that you swim better after the short holiday.
