Floswimming.com


Coach George is in the process of putting together a team site at www.floswimming.org. If you have never visited this site you should take some time to do so. The site is run by swim coaches and gives you a lot from exclusive footage from the Olympic Games and Trials to full coverage from college dual meets to interviews with swimmers and coaches from around the country. By creating a team we can upload pictures a videos and give the team some more National recognition.

How do you become a member (as a swimmer) or a fan (as a parent) of the team? Go to www.floswimming.org and create a profile for yourself. Once you are logged in you can go to your floswimmer on the top menu bar and click on "Teams". Seach for "Greater Philadelphia Aquatic Club". Once you get to our team you can follow the steps to either become a member or a fan of the team. From what I can find the most members and fans (combined) any team has is around 95. We need to blow that out of the water!

From your floswimmer account you can do a lot of great things like track your workouts, track your meet results, and your weekly/monthly/yearly yardage totals. This is a great way to see what kind of work you are doing in practice and an even better way to understand how that work will effect your performance in various meets.
