Bank Holiday Sunday!!
Some fantastic swims and a big well done to Ciara, Hannah, Martha & Saoirse on qualifying for Div 2's and a massive congrats to Jonah, Saoirse B, Luke, Niamh, Oisin & Cilian, and everyone else who took part. I know I don;t have all the naes here but well done anyways. I was well impresed by the TEAM spirit and the way all the Mums & Dads did us proud with the timekeeping.
It's great to see such a strong number of qualifiers for both Division 1 and Division 2 this season. The largest TEAM we have EVER had at these meets. Well done Coaches Helen, Brian & Peter on a job well done.
Bank Holiday Monday with Portmarnock SC !
Big Thanks to Peter O'B for facilitating our swimers in the NAC for a strong 30 x 100's set on Monday. They did 1FC, 1BC & 1BF all the way through and by all accounts Dayna, Daire, Brian & Michael G did a pretty savage set on this one. Michael - Here comes your new EVENT 200BF. Love it !!!! Thanks again Peter & Well done TEAM.
Oh By the Way I heard there were loads of Training PB's on Monday PM in Templeogue for the quality Set Helen handed the troops. Getting FASTER and STRONGER EVERY week TEAM lets keep on moving it !!
Tuesday AM
Warm Up Queen Where were YOU !!!! WE missed her for the warmup but did a killer session on Abs anyway. Nice Session on Tuesday troops !!! A solid set by one and all on the 30 x 100's and a strong 6K in total. AS Always the development of the TEAM gets better week to week. The focus on UNDERWATER pushoffs and kicking is beginning to sink in to the watery brains but generally it's getting there. YOU need to set urself the challenge of getting to 7M on EVERY push off, then 8M, then 9M and eventually you will be PHELPIAN or PHELPESQUE with quality 12M pushoffs EVERY turn. (Actually I hear Michael Phelps has relations living in Knocklyon so next time he's here for TEA I'll ask him to drop doen to the pool)
Well done TEAM, Getting Better
Thought for the DAY -
LIVE IT !! LOVE IT !! - MAKE IT HAPPEN !! - NO FEAR, NO EXCUSES !!
Make Each Day Your Masterpiece
by John Wooden
"Too often we get distracted by what is outside our control.
You can't do anything about yesterday.
The door to the past has been shut and the key thrown away.
You can do nothing about tomorrow. It has yet to come.
However, tomorrow is in large part determined by what you do today.
So make today a masterpiece. You have control over that.
By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better."
ps. GOOD LUCK In EXAMS - Make those Watery Brains WORK today!!!

Talking of the underwater check out Phelps in the 100m freestyle from the duel in the pool http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=duel+in+the+pool+2007
in every freestyle race i've seen him do he gets 10/12m off every turn without fail.
some other races worth watching there too.
and while you're on youtube, all you young ones won't remember this race but well worth watching

USA had never been beaten in a 4x100 in any olympics ever. Australia's lead off leg Michael Klim broke the individual world record (Brian's old mate Van Den Hoogenbaand breaks it a few days later) and then Ian Thorpe on the anchor leg is unbelieable.
enjoy.
