A

Hey I've just been flip-flopping around the pool, but I guarantee you this. There are no flops in this water right now: hi I'm, Whaley Baker with another edition of athletes and action at the big vanilla, athletic club in pasadena, freestylin, back strokin breast strokin and fly in with the Falcons hey. Let's dive in with the severna park, swim team and head coach mike vick tammany. Let's call the top wins. The falcons swimmers think they can ride the wave to another great season in the pool.

B

I appreciate y'all coming out and giving the kids a chance to shine a little bit. It's always good to get the season started off and we're excited to roll up our sleeves and get going. We got a lot of good sound, like clubs from he's got a lot of non clubs for me, as you can fill in and got some good depth, and some good talent should be a good year. We.

C

Spend so much time together, whether it's on the bus on the way to practice or here and even the people who even the freshmen we already are getting to know them, and it's just it's. Just such a sweet group of people I mean I, wouldn't want to spend my time with anybody else. We.

D

Got a lot of really good freshman talent. This year we had some seniors graduate and some that decided not to come back, but I think we have a really strong team this year, a lot of lot of new talent. We have.

E

A lot of club swimmers, but we also have a lot of swimmers that don't do club and just two summers as well and it's fun, because it's there's people from other club teams that come together and we all see each other but we're from the same school. So it's really great.

A

Captains make sure that the team remembers the importance of being a student athlete and a solid teammate I.

F

Always make sure it's that um school always comes first, so if I have to stay after to make up a task, I've do that and I it's an invalid excuse, because I need to do for my school work well and make sure I'm getting good grades to stay on the team. The seniors and.

C

Juniors on this team, we've been doing this for three or four years, and we understand that it can be very difficult because we spend through hours a day, sometimes with her swimming schedule. I.

E

Try to make them feel comfortable in the whole environment. I don't want them to feel like intimidated by the older people. I want to want them to feel welcome, no matter who they are getting straight.

D

A's getting honor roll A's and B's, it's really important good to keep up sports and school. At the same time, Falcons.

A

Being fish in the offseason and out of the pool lead to winning when it counts, as.

B

Long as they're doing something to keep in cardiovascular condition and strength and flexibility, they can usually get back in the water pic of the strokes from having the summer leagues, we.

D

Do a lot of dryland activities like running sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups, wheeze weights and just basically to keep myself in shape a lot.

C

Of swimmers do other high school sports, like I, I've done cross-country and track and field, and it's quite amazing how how in shape that can keep you, even forgetting in the water, with.

A

A wide variety of swimming styles, keeping the Falcons competitive at meets, means staying healthy and.

B

Fit we do talk about getting good night sleeps and it's hard to balance all that with school and proper diet and still having time for friends and family and stuff said. We tell them all flat out when tryouts are too said. If you can do everything, we'd love to have you, but if you need to take a break and something we understand and we talk, try to tell Muhammad, you're passionate about and and go for.

C

It let me do a lot of stretches that help us stay in shape and work muscles that normally swimmers are prone to getting hurt like shoulders and knees and stuff.

F

I guess just eating right and I go too I mean what's pi and high school swimming I swim 10 times a week, so it's kind of hard not to we.

E

Swim constantly stroke and we just swim long distance of the same stroke, and we just repetitively do that scene. This.

D

Board is uh it's it's my two of my life I love swimming, especially the breast stroke. It's just really great to be able to constantly improve and be part of a team like us having.

A

A hands-on coach and making necessary adjustments helps severna park swimming, be its best. Our.

F

Coaches are great: they help us work every day with technique and, of course, training and all that stuff, and they also help us do team building sort of things. So that way, we're all ready for big needs and we're all helping each other and support each other and cheering on, because that's a really big part of the mentality of something Falcon.

A

Fans flocked to their swimmers. It's.

C

So important we just I mean we can't hear them when we're in the water, but every time that we get out of the waters when it counts. When we can look up and see that there are so many people there to support us. The.

D

Swimming community around here, just great parents pass rumors current swimmers. Everyone shows up, it's, the meats are always packed and its really nice to get some support to.

A

Finish with a high tide, we.

B

Like to game for the county regional championships, States is out there. We know like we used to say about top ten and States try to get into that. But the main thing is just about the kids having a good time and everything to do is for them. We tell them it's their team, whatever they want to have and the friendships develop. We all used to say that you forget about the time to swim, Demetrius women, but you always remember the French.

B

If you had the experiences go into it and you just try to make it a good. Certainly winning is important, but the main thing is just the kids: have a good balance experience and augment their high school careers with a good good.

E

Situation getting counties and regionals and just having a good time I, would.

F

Love to go to States again and to place well better than we did last year and just do everything better than we did last year. I'd love.

C

For our team to win counties and regionals again and just to get to become like super close, like always, that would be awesome for.

D

Me is a senior winning county county championship would be great, but just having a good time getting to learn getting. No everyone just having fun thanks.

A
