MESSAGE FROM COACH ALEX
Dear Swimmers,
I'm truly happy to announce, that tomorrow we will officially open our first swimming season here at UWCSEA Dover in 2016-2017. So, on behalf of the whole coaching department I would like to welcome all student-athletes in our aquatic programs.
As a member of the Phoenix Swim Team, we expect you to represent our school with pride, respect each other and mutual encouragement; Practice hard, do your best to excel and develop your skills. Believe in your coaches, don't question them, because they are here to get you stronger, faster and prepare your body for competitions.
Our three weeks of pre-season went really well, we've been training extremely hard to get our fitness level back fast. We are sure that you will be a 100% in no time.
We have a few upcoming meets in the next couple of weeks, so please make sure that your attendance is perfect, so you will have a good opportunity to reflect fast times and showcase your hard work.
Please remember that our captains are always here to set an example for good sportsmanship, encourage our athletes and help us(coaches) to build a friendly, competitive and positive environment for a successful team.
I look forward to seeing everybody next week.
Best wishes for a healthy and athletic year.
