RICE Aquatics - Outside the Lane Lines

Parents - With the season now in November we will start to have a few cold fronts moving in that will lower the out of pool temps. I wanted to pass on a couple tips to making sure your swimmers keep warm before and practice. The most important thing is to dress in layers. With many practices starting in warm weather and ending in cooler nights its important to come prepared for all types of weather. Packing a longsleeve shirt or sweater in the swim bag is essential. Parkas, Jackets and extra towels are a great option as well. A good option for swimmers in the younger groups that are still low in body fat is hot apple cider in a thermos. This is something they could sip on between sets or extended period on the wall. I will be posting sign ups for parents to bring in a large thermos of hot cider for groups as an option for getting volunteer hours.
