Yorkshire Sprints & Training Changes

This weekend it is time to Sprint!!!!!  Remember, in sprints it is vital to get all the elements of the race right.  If you get your start, transition and finish spot on this can be the milliseconds needed to move up a few places in the results.  Also in the 50m sprints it is your chance to shine and earn your place in selection for relays.
 
As nearly everyone is racing on Saturday in Sheffield, training on Friday night will just be an hour for both squads (19:00 - 20:00).
 
There will be NO TRAINING on Sunday 1st February.  Enjoy a well earned recovery day.  Monday morning will be as normal.
 
The draft programme for the weekend can be viewed by using the link below:
Draft Programme 
 
If there is anyone down in the programme who cannot compete this weekend, can you please let one of the coaching staff know by email so we can pass on the information to the team managers.  Please remember it is City of Leeds policy to arrive 30 minutes before the warm up and check in with the team manager.  Team managers have the right to pull swimmers out if they arrive late as the Club can be fined if a swimmer does not show for their race.
 
Saturday Am
Arrive: 07:30
Warm Up: 08:00
Start: 09:00
 
Saturday Pm
Arrive: 12:30
Warm Up: 13:00
Start: 02:00
 
 
We are looking forward to seeing some fast swimming this weekend as some of you have achieved a PB in training within the last 2 weeks.  Get down that first 25m hard and keep picking up the effort every 10 metres.  Don't slow down into the finish and smash through the wall.  
 
'Before the (Olympic) trials I was doing a lot of relaxing exercises and visualisation.  And I think that that helped me to get a feel of what it was gonna be like when I got there.  I knew that I had done everything that I could to get ready for that meet, both physically and mentally.'  Michael Phelps, 6 Gold medals, 2004 Olympic games

Good Luck Everyone! http://tracking.technodesignip.com/?action=count&projectid=642&contentid=6535&referrer=-&urlaction=r...

Training Changes

Dear Parents, 

We have added a land training session 
on Sunday evening for all swimmers in Regional squads.  The session will be structured as follows:

Regional 1 - 
16.00-17.15  Pool 
                   
17.20-18.00 Land 

Regional 
2 - 16.00 - 16.40 Land 
                  
16.45 - 18.00 Swim

Please could you ensure that your child has the correct kit (Leeds T shirt, shorts and trainers) to participate. 

Additionally there is an opportunity for a third land session during in the week.  This will take place on a 
Thursday morning after the session from 6.30 -7 am.  If your child is available to stay and take part they will finish the pool session at 6.20 am so they can be ready to enter the gym by 6.30 am.  Again please ensure the correct kit is worn in order to participate. 

Regards, 


The Regional Team

Help Needed

In order to run our gala's at the City of Leeds, we require a number of people to ensure that it runs smoothly.  There are a number of ways in which to do this.  It could be by being an official, working on the meet organisation team, helping with the supporter's team etc.

On Monday 12th January 2015 at 6.30pm, a meeting is to be held in the Timing suite (glass cabin at the far end of the balcony) to talk about the different ways in which people think they could help.

It would be great to see as many of you as possible. 

If you are unable to come to the meeting but would still like to help out please feel free to email vickispencer@hotmail.com or come into the Denison Suite on a Monday evening for a chat.

Thanks

The Supporters Team
