Work on Pool

Jun 1, 2010

Folks.. work is moving swiftly with the painting of the pool area walls and ceiling…see pictures attached…..look at the crystal blue water just kidding the pool is tarped to keep the water free of debris.

Here is the schedule for the time that we are off….. This schedule will only be affected by weather related problems and updates will be sent out via e-mail and by our instant message to your cell phones via www.rainedout.com . In case of foul weather and keeping the safety of the swimmers in mind I have arranged to have a room in the Hynes athletic center (newer half) to keep the kids and we will do activities there.

Here are the instructions again to sign up.

When you go to www.rainedout.com, click on “sign up now” and enter our “organization name”, GAEL AC and follow the prompts. This service is free, except that your own normal text message rates may apply. The messages may also contain a “commercial” like. “McDonalds is open late!”, which is how the service is free. You will need your cell phone handy when you enroll to enter the confirmation code.

Today Tuesday…all groups off, fields are occupied and work continues on the main gym of the Hynes center.

We will be using the Soccer Field located next to the Hynes Athletic Center where the pool is located as well as the new Softball Field located at the back end of campus.

Directions for dropping off to the softball field èNormal drive to Iona College and pull up to the pool but you will need to drive to the back of the parking garage and towards Rice Oval at the back end of the parking lot…there you will find the coaching staff awaiting the swimmers. Coaching staff will also be there till the last swimmer is picked up as well. This is a safe area and is patrolled by security and will be under the supervision of myself and Gael coaching staff.

Swimmers will need to have with them sneakers and water bottles and appropriated workout clothing, swimmers should come ready to work hard and be very active.

. During these sessions we will be doing a regiment of stretching, sit-ups, polymeric exercises, jump ropes, medicine balls as well a other cardio and strengthening exercises and of course running. All geared towards helping your swimmer gain strength and speed related to swimming.
