Timarron Tigersharks

• Technique, Technique, Technique: Swim correctly 1st, then swim fast!! Smooth, then fast

• Streamline on all starts & turns before starting the stroking part of the swim!

• Limit breathing on short freestyle races. (25’s might be three breaths or less!)

• Stay on your back all the way to the wall on all backstroke races! (if you roll to your side or front you will be disqualified)

• Touch with two hands on all Fly and Breast races! (if you touch with one hand on Fly or Breast you will be disqualified)

• “RACE” to the finish on all swims! (many swimmers slow down at the wall, Tigershark swimmers swim their fastest at the finish, many races are won or lost in the last 8 yards of the race, FINISH FAST!)

• Cheer for your teammates ALL the time! (all swimmers swim faster when their teammates cheer for them)

• Be “humble” if you win, and be a “good sport” if you lose! (improving your own times is more important than how you finish)

• Encourage the swimmers on the other teams! (of course you try to beat them, but always congratulate them on their effort)

• Have FUN! (being w/friends is fun, mastering skills is fun, work is fun & racing is fun)

HAVE FUN !!!!!
