On the fifth day of Christmas Camp
my swim coach gave to me...

Free streamline adviiiiiiiiiiiiiice,

4 pairs of goggles,
3 flip turns,
2 hundred flys,
and a long swim I'm still recoveren' from.

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday



We call it "Christmas" Camp,
but it is 
not quite
the yule tide cheer
the name implies.

Ponder fatigue;
hydrate.
Consider agony, briefly.

Have a banana:
potassium is good.
Rest.
Take deep long breaths now.
We will see you at the pool.

Christmas Camp
knows no
religious affiliation
other than dread.
The counsellors
are mean.
There are
no presents


though absences
are noted.





Oh, and I got that deck gear if you ordered it and then bailed on practice Friday.  Reread the poem above.  I spent most of the weekend on it, revising it ever darker..

Fantastic Swimathon

What it is all about:  Coming together with people of all ages, making a splash, and rallying the next generation of Broncos may they grow strong and crush the aquatic dreams and ambitions of others especially Brewer just saying.
