Hello NELMSC Coaches!

Happy Fall from Vermont! I have some fun practice ideas and a link to a playlist that will be sure to keep things interesting during the month of October! 

REGISTER NOW!!! The Boston USMS Education Weekend is fast approaching, and there is still time to register for this event. The learning takes place on Saturday October 14 at the Boston Courtyard, Natick, MA, and Sunday, October 15 at the Shamrock Swim Club in Milton, MA . and remember, the NELMSC will REIMBURSE you for 80% of the cost of the sessions you choose to attend. Click on this link to see your reimbursement rate (upon attendance and completion of the course). 

WHITE BOARD WORKOUT - Have you seen (and even borrowed) some of the fun and challenging workouts that USMS National office has presented on Instagram? On Saturday at the USMS Education Weekend, I will be there to film YOU!!! Bring your favorite set (of any kind) and we will film you for a future IG NEMLSC Instagram post. If you can't make it to Education Weekend, hopefully either myself or Kysa Crusco (the Communications Coordinator) can catch up with you at one of the upcoming mini meets for your white board workout. Personally, I LOVE sharing and reading other people’s workouts as it helps me keep things fresh, and see the pool from a different perspective. We can’t wait to see what you bring! 

Pumpkin Spice. Ooooooo - this letter just got super controversial! 😄

No matter your feelings on all things Pumpkin Spice, attached is an annual workout tradition we have at the EDGE Masters! This is a great fall fun workout, which can be easily modified to fit ANY swimmer’s abilities and likes/dislikes. Enjoy!
