Land Training Changes

Hi All,

As from Monday 28th January we will be conducting land training in squads rather than a younger and older age group. Therefore Regional 1 swimmers should attend one week and Regional 2 swimmers the following week.

As a trial for the following weeks we will also be allowing the younger swimmers to have an opportunity to do land training. This will be for a 15 minute period before the start of the session. This time will be used to introduce the exercises to the younger swimmers and teach correct technique and form. The younger swimmers should ensure they are already changed to go in the pool before land training and are just wearing t-shirt and shorts over their costumes as well as wearing suitable trainers.

It is essential that swimmers arrive on time for land training as it is in any pool session, so that everyone can join in the warm up before the session starts. We understand that it can be difficult with traffic and work commitments, however our main priority is the safety of the swimmers and to prevention any injuries, therefore anyone arriving after the warm up will be instructed to do stretches and band work on poolside.

For swimmers aged 11 years and over in each squad, land training will begin at 5.30pm and finish at 6.10pm. 

For swimmers aged 9 and 10 in each squad, land training will begin at 6.10pm and finish at 6.25pm.
