To continue from today's discussion about starts, I have found this helpful video that breaks down the mechanics of the start. It explains the differences in the conventional (grab) and track start dives and offers some quick tips to remember when starting.
RECAP:
Body Position
Wrap toes around the edge of the block
Keep you hips high and hold head in a neutral position

A big thanks to Nate and Dania for organizing the pub night, what an awesome way to kick off the season! The live band was great, most of the members were up and dancing at one point in time or another - although I am still unsure if that was actually a dance floor. Way to get it started guys! - and they had local beer on tap!
Great pick you two, I'm looking forward to the next social!

What do goals and t-shirts have in common? You can't reach your goal unless you bring a t-shirt to practices. They will make you strong like bull in the water. So, please don't forget yours.

Well - we came, we saw, we swam and we sort of conquered - but more than anything we had a really good time, met some great people, got nearly drowned in the "warm up" BUMPER POOL and swam our trunks off (not a pretty sight for some of us!).All in all - a real hoot!!!

Serious “after event” training started Thursday night at pub night for the Masters Nationals to be held in Montreal next month. Members are practicing in earnest … especially for the “Jug-a-minute” masters event. So far, they have a long way to go.
