Holiday Swim Achievements, 12-24-07 to 1-6-08

Dear All, Thanksgiving swim activities of forum participants showed big determination on the part of many, big yardage, and maybe a dash of refuge seeking. Swimming over end-of-year holidays has a completely different rhythm: holiday/family obligations are greater, taking time from swimming, but there is also the wonderful, once-a-year New Year's swim, different for every coach and club. Any big achievements over this period? Bananas? How did you manage migrating pool schedules? What is planned/did occur for New Year's swim? Regards, VB

    Kristina I am doing the Winter Classic here in Savannah, so is my 9 year old son. Mom and son in the same meet. In February I will be doing the Mt. Pleasant meet in SC the same weekend my son has a meet at our pool which his dad will cart him to in my absence. It was really humbling being beaten by 2 11 year olds at practice Friday night. It is a great challenge though and I love it. Coach used me to keep them on the correct interval and them to push me. Well it is time to go to practice. Thanks for filling me in on your meets. Looks like we won't be hitting the same ones. Those 11 to 13 year olds are faster than some of the SR women, so I wouldn't sweat it!
