"Today, just like every other morning, we set our alarms early but instead of practice, it was because we were going on our… EXCURSION!!! It was nice having the morning off to relax and have fun after two very tiring days of double practices and dry land workouts. For our activity we went on a boat to the open water area where there were jet skis, paddleboards, water slides, canoes, and more! It was an exciting time that included seeing dolphins, sharks and manatees (we think), eating hotdogs and pulled pork at 10 am, and almost getting drifted away on the paddleboards because of the strong current!"
The team enjoyed some free time in the open water activity area during their morning off!
All smiles on the water!

The Huskies took full advantage of the jet skis and paddle boards while out in the water!
The boat cruised by some pretty villages along the coast of the Keys.
"We had a couple hours after the excursion before practice started again, which were spent lying on the beach, sleeping, eating and relaxing to recharge our batteries."
"For the divers, practice consisted of back two and a halves, twisters, and ended with Justin's (strength and conditioning coach) dry land workout. Currently we are sharing the pool with University of Vermont so the divers got to share the boards and bond with the other divers."

Paris James rewarded themselves after practice with some delicious ice cream."
