Swim team parents start filling out paperwork for the winter season.

Swim Clinic Teaches the Finer Points

Central Pennsylvania may not be the hotbed of aquatics activity like the Pittsburgh or Philly area but there are some top-notch opportunites to learn the finer points of swimming.  This past weekend, Duquesne swimming head coach Dave Sheets, returned to his boyhood stomping grounds to impart some of his knowledge to area swimmers.

What was really good for the kids is how he broke down each stroke.  You can only 'muscle' an event so far and then it is technique that seperates swimmers at the end.  Below is an outline of how the group worked on the freestyle stroke.

 

USA Swim Program Information Meeting - Part II

The first USA Swim meeting took place on a night that Keystone was playing in the Little League World Series.  Many folks we unable to attend the meeting as they went to the game.  As a result, there will be another family meeting on Monday, September 12th at 6:30pm in Zimmerli Room #7 on the campus of Lock Haven Universtiy

This will be a good opportunity to turn in and/or pick up all the required paperwork.  Paperwork can also be downloaded from the "Pages" on the upper left of this blog.

Swim practices will start on Wednesday, September 14th.

This meeting will pretty much be the exact same as our previous meeting, so if you attend that one please don't feel obligated to attend this one.

Reason #55 On Importance of Learning To Swim - Jumping Off Rattlesnake Rock , Again!

This is a continuing series in why everybody should learn how to swim as many activities take place around water.

Jumping off Rattlesnake Rock was so fun last week that it was worth bringing a couple of friends (that can SWIM) and mom on another 65 mile bike ride on the Pine Creek Rails-to-Trails.

start of the trek, left to right, Eric, Max, Jacob, and mom.

It was a humid day so there were several breaks throughout the ride to cool down.

The following 3 photographs show a sequence of jumping off of Rattlesnake Rock.

Friends enjoying the last days of summer.

Calling All Athletes to the Swimming Pool

For those of you that read this blog and are not from central Pa, it is baseball madness right now.  The Little League World Series is taking place and it always generates excitement within the local comunities.  This year, even more so as a local team (out of the Lock Haven area) made the tournament. 

So it is only fitting that the presidient and CEO of Little League Baseball had an editorial in this Sundays Williamsport Sun-Gazette.  It can be viewed by the article below (click to enlarge).  Basically, it is an article cautioning youth and parents on overuse injuries.

There are a couple of interesting take home items here for all athletes, outside and inside the swimming community.  He states that rest is crucial to youth sports (his concern is baseball) and that we should "order our boys and girls off the diamond and into the library or the swimming pool once or twice a week...".  Swimming (not competitive swimming) is a great way to relax and have fun.  Every child should be hitting the swimming pool at some time in the year.  The library comment is also very good as every child should be reading a book.

The other comment he makes is ".. children and teens must be encouraged to vary the sports they play with each season, so they can work alternate muscles and give taxed joints a chance to rest and recover"  So for those boys that wrestle and play football, come out for the swim team over the summer.  Girls and boys that play soccer in that fall might want to look at the winter swim team as a way to work some parts of the body that get overused. 

Swimmers are not exempt from this idea of repetitive injuries and should look at playing soccer, track, cross-country, basketball, baseball, and wrestling during the off-season.  Check this Jersey Shore Swim blog on JS athletes who utilize different sports to prevent injury.  Don't forget to visit the library to work the brain!

Lewisburg Kids Triathlon

Several Jersey Shore and Lock Haven swimmers ventured down to Lewisburg to participate in the Lewisburg Kids Triathlon on Friday night, August 19.  Results can be viewed here and pictures can be viewed here (not posted at the time of this blog posting).  Below are some videos of area kids in various stages of the race.

It is only fitting that the triathlon starts off with swimmming.  The younger kids swam 2 widths of the pool while the older kids swam 50 yards or 100 yards.

Watching the kids transition is always interesting.  Pulling on shoes and shirts is a bit harder when wet.  Below, Jersey Shore's Alex B. takes his time transitioning from swimming to biking.

Jersey Shore's Jordan O. gets a little help from dad who has her shoes on before she even knows it.  Notice as she runs to the bike the wave of kids in that heat.  These waves went on for awhile.

After the bike, the triathletes must transition to the final leg, the run.  This is much easier as you just drop your bike and run.  Jersey Shore's Emma B. transitioning from bike to run.

The run is the hardest for many as they are pretty tired from sprinting the last two events.  Lock Haven's Jordy S. pounds the pavement as he sprints to the finish line.

For those interested, the Jersey Shore Kid's Triathlon is scheduled for July 20, 2012 while the Lewisburg Kids Triathlon is scheduled for August 17, 2012.
