Be a Mermaid for Halloween

Posted by coachlisa on October 31, 2007

Mermaids-in-Training,

The summer/fall swim session finished last week on Oct 20 with some wonderful treats from Luna. Beyond the incentive of yummy treats, sparkling blue waters and great coaching from coach Sara and coach Gracie, 9 mermaids earned full attendance awards. Coach Lisa will be sending each of the star attenders a personally signed copy of her book Triathlon for Women - A Mind-Body-Spirit Approach for Female Athletes. Well done women! 

The next session plans are in the works with a 10 week winter program beginning on November 10 which will be at 8:30 a.m.! Please contact Lisa if you wish to be on the registration list.

So enjoy your break this weekend, however, that doesn’t mean you can’t still get in the pool for a super session to burn off all the Halloween treats!

Give the Halloween  Workout of the week Oct 31 a try! Be a mermaid for Halloween! This workout builds in a ladder set and gives your mind a good workout too while you keep track of the distance and rest times throughout the ladder. If you can, it is best to hold negative pacing to get the most out of the ladder sets. Treat yourself to a nutritious smoothie afterward!

As before, your comments are welcomed to provide feedback on the weekly workouts and encourage other mermaids to dive in!
