Swim Team Off- Season By: Joey Cepeda

Off-season for us started on February 19. Our coach, Coach Demar, and Tascosa’s new coach, Coach Zikes, are training the Caprock swim team and the Tascosa swim team (this is the only time Tascosa practices with us). We are involved in life guard training. One reason why we did not do this training last year might be because coach Zikes used to be a life guard trainer. She did not coach Tascosa's swim team last year. So far they taught us how to jump in the water with the red life guard flotation device and to swim fast to rescue people.
In off-season, the Caprock swim team sometimes does dry land. Dry land is a workout that is not in the water. This can make you sore the next day. In dry land, we run and walk, do different types of pushups, different types of crunches, and other stuff. We also work on technique. We swim different drills to make each of our strokes better.
