- Get everyone to do the sign-up form at Play.CLOH.org. Have guardians do it too. http://play.cloh.org/rsvp/
- Ask about health concerns.
- Username and password at PLAY.CLOH.org are to be set up as the student's first name and the password of SDA18.
- Username of Test Test and password of SDA17 works too.
- Accounts for kids not able to log in need to be noted and communicated to me so that they can be fixed.
- For kids not on the list or with broken log-in, an additional 31 extra accounts have been set up and are available for use. Usernames SDA01, SDA02 and so on to SDA31 all work. They have the same password, SDA18.
- Need to explain the SKWIM Fins. Try them on. Tip: Knots down.
- Got more fins for 2018, some are full foot with color code by size, some with the strap, some are blue and grey and are of various adult sizes.
- Photo of every student so we can begin to learn names. Hub page, SDA18.
- Pick squad names among the students in some type of democratic process. Primary and back-up is good in case the name is picked earlier by other squad. Then communicate the name choice to Mark Rauterkus. See the list at National_Parks/2017_choices.
- Squad and camper numbers at Northside are in a flux as camp gets ready to begin. My take, http://cloh.org/wp/archives/1067.

Advance lesson tasks |
Skill Drills: Most work done in training is on front crawl for the obvious reasons of time, conditioning, space in lanes, speed of stroke, etc. So front crawl starts our drills and fills the priorities for the first week emphasis. The first time trials are also devoted to freestyle, also known as front crawl.
Front Crawl Kicking Drills: 1. Kick front crawl using kick board, head raised. (General conditioning exercise).
2. Kick front crawl using kick board with arms outstretched and face in water, breathing on every sixth kick. (improves streamlining and VO2 capacity).
3. Kick with arms extended, hands overlapped, face down between arms. Breathe to the front on sixth kick.
4. As 3, but with head raised to improve power of kick.
5. Kick front crawl - arms at sides - face in water breathe to alternate sides every 6th kick.
6. As in 5 but with head up - to improve power of kick.
7. Kick - arms extended - under water, (feeling use of all of the leg in the kick) (quick breaths and submerge).
8. As in 7 but with hands at sides.
9. Kick on right side, left hand spearing in front, right side of face resting on right shoulder, left hand at side and back straight.
10. Kick on left side with the side of the face resting on left shoulder right hand at side and the back straight.
Drills 9 and 10 will help to check the amplitude between hips and feet.
