Today at practice I realized something very important: we were the only ones there! It is really tough working and training there between November 15th and the middle of February with the number of high school swimming and diving teams there every day. But from the middle of February through next November 15th the high school teams are not there and there is more space (and less noise) for us to deal with.
It is important to remember that the GCIT Aquatics Center is was built so the area high school teams would have a place to train. Without them and their needs we wouldn't have this great facility. Yeah, it gets loud and crowded and we have to have practices canceled or really tough times (see you at 5:15 Saturday morning) because of swim meets. Yet it is completely worth it for the lane space we have outside of these times.
So take the time enjoy the space, the lower noise levels, the longer daylight hours (10 hours and 59 minutes of sunlight tomorrow, increasing by two and a half minutes each day)...I believe we have earned it.
