(not talking about water / swimming wet) Message-ID: Hi, What do you make of Dry January as a cultural phenomenon? Wondering. Alcohol is known to some as the king of intoxicants because it?s far and away the dominant intoxicant that?s used across the world throughout history. And there?s a good reason for that. It?s got some real downsides: It?s physiologically really harmful, and quite addictive physically. Do you have a team policy -- those with college squads, of course?

There is a new course in the ISCA LMS (Learning Management System) devoted to Yoga. You all, because you are ISCA Members, are getting that course as part of the membership bundle. However, this is your chance to pull in some others just for that YOGA course. But I would LOVE for you to, for the next couple of days, get some others on your team to come and check it out too. Go to: https://Read.SwimISCA.org/checkout-page/yoga Use coupon code: Frogs-vs-Dogs Backstory: The Frogs got toasted by the DAWGS, 65-7. Meanwhile, in the ISCA prediction game, the margin was 8-1 in favor of Georgia, the winners. Well done. But, as the offer and predication thing was being talked about on the blog, a bug in the server code caused a slow-down in the outreach efforts as the new customers who deployed the coupon didn't get automatic access to the course without webmaster intervention. Ugh. That's been fixed now. We need to stretch the system before we launch a new outreach activity. Please have your folks interested in dry-land sessions and mindfulness give it a whirl. You can blast this to your senior swimmers ASAP and have them get an introduction and perhaps hooked on some yoga, a great activity this time of year. + + + + snip starts + + + + Go to: https://Read.SwimISCA.org/checkout-page/yoga Use coupon code: Frogs-vs-Dogs + + + + snip ends + + + More insights at the blog: https://blog.swimisca.org/it-is-a-stretch-frogs-vs-dogs-who-do-you-like-play-along-and-win-with-your-prediction/ -- Ta.
