INDOOR SET‐UP, WHAT TO DO…
PENNY WARS & 2016 RAFFLE
1 Drink lots of liquids Make sure that you drink eight to ten glasses of water daily. Drink plenty of water regularly and often even if you do not feel thirsty. Your body needs water to keep cool. Avoid drinks with alcohol or caffeine in them. They can make you feel good briefly but make the heat's effects on your body worse. Energy drinks like 100 plus and Gatorade are good alternatives to water.
Calling all swimmers to help the team sell raffle tickets for the 2016 raffle. We are extremely excited about all the wonderful prizes. Raffle Tickets are $5 for one ticket or $20 for five tickets. The drawing will be held at Divisionals, so this is the last week to be able to accept raffle sales.
2 Stay warm It is usually cooler/cold at indoor set‐up. Make sure the kids have long pants and a blanket if they want to keep warm between events.
Calling all pennies!! We will have a penny drive by practice group. Whichever group collects the most pennies will have a popcorn and popsicle party. Collect from family, friends, whoever.
3 Eat small meals Eat small meals and eat more often. Avoid foods that are high in protein which increase metabolic heat. 4 Eat fruit This is a good time to eat fruit‐based meals. Try making fruit salads with different chopped fruits thrown in a bowl. 5 Eat light meals During hot months, foods like Caesar salad and sandwiches with plenty of tomatoes and leafy vegetables add to water intake. And they are better food choices than heavy meals like chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs and sausage‐on‐the‐stick. 6 Protect your feet Wear foot protection. Many times, people's feet can get cold from coming out of a cold pool, and going into a cold cafeteria. 7 Relax You need to relax as much as possible during the day. Please try to remain under shade when not swimming or watching events at pool. Take regular breaks when engaged in physical activity. Try to keep the kids from extracurricular activities (Basketball, football, soccer, playground, etc…) Remember, have fun, but stay cool!
