As you know, strength and flexibility are vital not only to speed and endurance, but also to maintain health and avoid

practice than when they were younger, to supplement in-water practice with dryland training.
A pre-hab and strength training program has been developed for swimmers ages 13 and over. Training sessions
to learn the work-out will be available at 1:00 pm on Wednesday and Thursday June 25 and 26. YMCA trainers will teach the work out to participants
at these sessions so that swimmers can come to the Y on their own or with friends and work out regularly over
the summer. If you would like to attend and learn the work out, please let Izumi know at izzyhkos@gmail.com by June 20 which session you will
attend.

to maintain health and avoid injury. That is why it is very important, especially for swimmers 13 and older who are
swimming greater distances at practice and more frequently than when they were younger, to supplement in-water practice with
dryland training.
A pre-hab and strength training program is in development for this summer for swimmers age 13 and over. Once
the program has been developed by the Y fitness staff, training sessions will be available to teach you the work-out so that
you can come to the Y at your convenience - on your own or with friends - and work out regularly over the summer.

1. ATTENTION
MYM PARENTS & FRIENDS! Official training
classes are being scheduled now! Soon we will post a set of classes that will
be held to help you become an official. WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF OFFICIALS.
Please see the Officials link off the left navigation bar here.There is good
information on that page about what it means to be an official. Of particular
interest to MYM - Our very own Chris Jung will be holding a Level II class (for
returning officials) on the morning of Saturday , October 5th at the Montclair
Y. If you are new to officiating or that class doesn't work for you - there
will plenty more on the schedule. Questions? email Alison Ferrell at
atferrell@gmail.com
or call her at 908-566-7550. We need your help! Without officials we cannot
run a meet.
