World Championship Silver Medalist
Bethany will be at practice Monday.  She will be working out with our Group 3 swimmers.  She will also be giving short talks to both Group 1 and Group 2 and will be getting to show some of our younger swimmers some drills that have helped her.  Just a reminder, our NP swimmers are welcome to attend tomorrow's practice.  It is not that often that swimmers get to meet and work with members of the US National team so please, if you can make it work into your schedule, take advantage of this great opportunity.

New Prairie Pool Updates
Coach Ashley was informed last week there will be building shutdowns due to  electrical (intermittent power) and plumbing work.  NPHS will be closed the week of June 25-29th and July 2nd-6th. NP swimmers have the option of attending practices at RHS.  Also, starting either next week or the following week we will return to the earlier times of summer practice we used last summer.   The correct schedules will be included in next week's email.

Miami of Ohio Swim Camps
Below is the email I received from member of the Miami coaching Staff.  If any of your swimmers would possibly be interested in attending Miami for college going to a camp is the easiest way to get on the coach's radar.

Miami University Swimming and Diving is excited to announce the return of a competitive swim camp in Oxford, Ohio. These camps, open to any and all boys and girls ages 10-18, will be instructed by the Miami University coaching staff. At Miami University Swim Camp, campers can expect to leave having a better understanding of the sport and to have great days of training at the Corwin M. Nixon Aquatic Center.  The facility, which features an eight-lane, 50-meter pool and a separate 25-meter diving well, will allow campers to gain experience with long-course training. Each day campers will experience up to four hours of in-water time, two in-classroom sessions and quality dryland work. Water and dryland sessions will mix technical focus as well as quality training. Classroom sessions will mix group video review and technical presentations. Each athlete can expect video analysis, in an effort to elicit benefits well after camp has concluded. Along with the comprehensive learning, campers will enjoy the opportunity to experience life on Miami’s historic campus. Living in the dorms, eating at dining halls and touring the campus, guided by current students, will foster a better understanding of the college experience in Oxford.

For 2018 we will run two five-day, four-night camp sessions. Session One will run June 3rd - June 7th. Session Two will run June 10th - June 14th. We will provide both overnight and day camp options. Athletes will be grouped based on ability and technical needs.

Passing this information along to any athletes or families that might be interested would be greatly appreciated. We look forward to welcoming some of your swimmers to Oxford this summer and seeing you all on pool decks as well.

Thank you for your time and attention,
Miami Swimming Staff
