January 1st 2006...

Our First Afternoon Practice Off! Six practices down and eight left.

New Year Day's practice has traditionally been the hardest practice of the trip and today was no exception. I think each and every swimmer left the pool this morning with a sense of accomplishment - and a feeling that they just completed something they never thought possible.

We've been enjoying tremendous weather (79º and sunny everyday!), the beach has been packed, the brand new pool has been perfect, and the shuffleboard matches have been intense. All in all, I can't complain.

Happy New Year to all and enjoy the pictures!

More Better,
