Training Cancelled Thursday PM

Hi Everyone,
 
Sorry to say, but I can now confirm tonight's training will be cancelled.  There are technicians working on the problem at the moment but it will not be ready for tonight.
 
Please spread the word.
 
Have a nice night off Smile
 
Kevin & Ryan



Training Cancellarion 13th Oct AM

Dear all parents/guardians/swimmers,

 

Just a quick message to pass on my apologies for the training cancellation this morning. We were notified lastnight at 10.45pm that the pool was experiencing technical difficulties and the pool would have to be closed until the engineers arrive today. As you can appreciate that time on an evening is not ideal for contacting parents and swimmers and also coaches. Some of the coaches contacted as many parents/swimmers as possible who they had contact numbers for but obviously it is impossible to contact everyone. So apologies if you arrived at the pool this morning to find training was cancelled.

 

If you are not training at JCCS this evening then training is on as normal.

 

For those who are training at JCCS, we are hoping to make a call by lunchtime whether training will be on this evening. With the help of squad coaches we will endeavour to contact all parents/swimmers with the outcome.

 

Once again please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience this morning.

 

Kind Regards,

 

Sarah Reed

Training Scheme Coordinator

TRAINING CANCELATION!!!

Sorry it is last minute but I have just had a call from John Charles and there is a few problems with the both the main pool and the diving pit, so morning training will not be on.  I have been a told that the booms are stuck, the plant room is flooded and the pool water level is dropping.  Sounds quite serious.  I will post an update on Thursday afternoon to say if training is back on.  I hope you all get the message in time.
 
I have used all the numbers on my register to text or ring.  If anyone has got a new number recently please let me know so I can update your details so I can contact you in emergencys.
 
Thanks

National Arena League Rnd 1

WELL DONE to all Swimmers competing in the first round of the Regional ARENA League at Ponds Forge on Saturday 8th October.
 
City of Leeds 'A' Team succeeded in pipping the City of Sheffield to 1st Place by just 3 points.
 
City of Leeds 'B' Team finished well also, placing just 21 points behind 3rd place rivals Doncaster Dartes.  
 
Thank you to all Team managers and Coaches.  The Pre-Comp preparation was exceptional. 



Junior League Final

Ellie Jones mum (Emma) would like to organise some hats for the swimmers to wear during the parade.  She can get these for £2 each.  If you are happy to pay this please let her know so she can buy them in time for the final.

Thanks 

C Central Storm the Yorkshres

Well what can I say.  You are swimming amazing at the moment and so early on in the season.  I was really impressed with you all over the weekend, it was a long meet and spirits were high all the way to the end. For some of you it will be a last chance to achieve North Eastern times at Harrogate and with some of you so close every session counts, concentrate, work hard and you will hopefully grasp those times.  Remember every millisecond you knock off is a step closer to those qualifying times, work every turn in training like you would in a race so it is perfect on the day.  We are targeting the North Eastern's which are the first week in December, with this at the top of C Central's competition calendar, anyone who has a time must enter even if it is only one event.  You have done the hard work and achieved the times so therefore deserve to swim against the fastest swimmers in the North East.  Lets go show them how its done!

This weekend at the Yorkshire's C Central achieved 103 PB's out of 122 Swims, 15 more NER times, 9 Gold Medals, 5 Silver Medals and 10 Bronze Medals.

Volunteers Required

If there are any volunteers interested in team managing on poolside or chaperoning on away trips please let me know and I will pass your details on.  We will be taking a few more helpers on so the team managers we have at the moment can have a break when we are away at a full weekend gala.  Drink and petrol costs will be covered by the club if you volunteer to do a full day at the gala.  There will also be a team managers course on 11th December if anyone is interested.


Junior League Final (27th November)

The gala will take place at:
Corby International Pool,
Parkland Gateway,

Corby,
Northants,
NN17 1QB

All swimmers will need to arrive at John Charles by 8:30am ready for the coach to depart at 9:00am sharp. Warm-up starts at 12:30pm with the parade of teams at approximately 13:30pm. We hope to be back at JCC for 18:30pm.  All swimmers will be required to travel to and from the meet on the team coach. 

If your child has a team track suit they should travel to and from the event in it.  Each swimmer will be provided with a t-shirt to mark the event, which must be worn to and from the event and for all team photographs. Please also ensure your child has another t-shirt to wear on poolside.

Obviously this will be a long day, so the children will need enough food and drinks to last the day. Can we also ask that the children are sent with a £1 coin for a locker as last year they were not allowed to bring bags onto pool side.

As there are 8 teams in the final each club has been allocated 45 spectator tickets, we can apply for additional tickets if they are not to be used by other clubs and we will do this if demand requires.  A single spectator ticket has been reserved for each member of the team but must only be taken up if definitely travelling to support. Ticket cost is £4.50.Tickets will be on sale between 6 and 7pm on Monday 24th and 31st October from the Denison Suite.  If you wish to go into the draw for an additional ticket please let us know when you purchase your ticket. Additional tickets will be drawn on Monday 7th November. 

The club has looked into the possibility of hiring a Parent's Coach which will travel alongside the Team Coach. Subject to take up, tickets for this will cost approximately £12.00 per seat, assuming that all 45 ticket holders take up this offer. If you wish to travel on the coach please see Greig or Elysha in the Denison suite on Monday when buying your entry ticket. It shall be important to establish as early as possible whether or not putting on a second coach is viable. Your early assistance would be appreciated in this regard.

We have been asked to gain permission for all the swimmers to have their photograph taken at the National Final. If you do not wish for your child to be photographed please let Elysha know when you confirm your child's ability to attend. Please note personal photographs will not be allowed at Corby International Pool.

The Club is also required to provide two timekeepers and 1 judge, who are the ASA Officials list, for the final. If you can help out, free transport will be provided to the event, please let Elysha Wallis or Greig Birrell know.

Just to let you all know Helen who takes land training has resigned from the City of Leeds as she has a new job.  We are sorry to see Helen leave as she did a great job with the land training making it fun and enjoyable for you all. We are trying to find a replacement coach for the gym on a Monday night but in the meantime please work hard for whoever covers the session.

Yorkshires & Arena League

Hope you are all looking forward to racing this weekend.  As we are still in early season training the target this weekend is to be as close to your PB's as possible.  Remember work the turns and transitions into strokes, also when sprinting spend less time under the water - get up to the surface fast and race hard, this is where you can pick up seconds. 
 
For most of you it is going to be a long and tiring weekend, therefore training on Friday night will be for an hour just to go over some last minute race tactics.  With nearly 100% of the group competing, training will be cancelled on Sunday night (9th October).

Hello,

Well done to everybody who took part in winning the nothern Final today.
It was a fantastic and exciting day, all the swimmers have done the club proud.
Thank you to all the supporters who really got involved and encouraged the swimmers to a fantastic success. A big thank you to Ellie Jones' mum, Emma, for organising the cheerleading. Lets see what she comes up with for the final on the 27th November. Thanks to all other non coaching staff that supported us today.

The results were as follows:

COL - 247
Stockport - 209
Southport - 187
Newcastle - 145
Leicester - 138
Cleethorpes and Scunthorpe - 79

Everyone saw today how close each race was. Every millisecond can be the difference between winning the points.
The final will be tough! So remember, every start, turn and finish should be practiced at race standard, to make all the difference :)

Well done on the first two rounds!

Kevin and Ryan!

Junior League Northern Final Supporters

For those parents travelling to the Northern Final next Sunday it would be great to see you all join in the fun and dress in Leeds colours, not only does it motivate the swimmers but also makes us stand out as a Club.  It would be great to go to the final with the best swimmers and the best supporters behind the team.  Some of the other clubs will be dressing up.  Get planning now! There is plenty of time to come up with some chants for our team.  I want to see drums, dressing up, banners, flags, tambourines, horns, wigs and face paints.  The more noise you make the faster the swimmers will swim.
 
Emma (Ellie Jones Mum) is buying some yellow and blue cowboy hats for the final.  If you would like to purchace one for the small charge of £2 let her know ASAP.

Video Feedback

Over the past week I have used a camera to film some of the swimmers technical faults and play it back to them on poolside.  I think it is a great tool to use as the swimmers can visualise what they are doing wrong in the water and see how they need to correct their technique.  I am going to carry on using the video now and again during training sessions and may include some of the footage on my Level 3 Coaches course.  If anyone does not want the camera to be used with their child please send me an email.

    Welcome Back

    Welcome back to training everyone and welcome new swimmers to C Central.  Hope you have had a great summer break and are ready to get stuck into some hard work to prepare for the upcoming meets.

    Leeds City Council are hosting the Dutch National Swim Team week commencing Monday 5th September 2011.

     

    This week the pool will be in Long Course configuration each session.  Some sessions may be a squeeze as we will only have 2 lanes but I am sure we will cope just for this week.  There are a few last minute changes with lanes due to the press coming.  Please try to be on poolside 15 minutes before the session starts to loosen off.   

     


    Monday 5th September
    Am = No Training
    Pm = No Land Training 

            We will train at the later time of 7.30 - 8.30pm in Lanes 0 & 1


    Wednesday 7th September

    Pm = Normal time 6:30 - 7:30 (Lanes 5 & 6)


    Thursday 8th September

    Am = Normal

    Pm = We will train at the earlier time of 6:30 - 8:00 in Lanes 5 & 6


    Please remember entries for the Early Bird meet will be taken on Monday 5th September.  There is no form available on line to print off, so write the times down on paper and one of us will sign it.



    Kevin & Ryan





    Monday 5th September

    Please note that the lane allocations have changed for the Dutch Visit on Monday night. We are now in Lanes 0 & 1. Land Training is cancelled as we cannot reschedule this.

    Wales Trip & New Season

    Well done to everyone who attended the Wales meet.  The trip was a brilliant success with lots of fast swimming and a great experience for the swimmers who's first time it was away from home by themselves.  Our group achieved 55 PB's out of 69 Swims, 4 Finalists and 3 Bronze Medals over the week.  Lizzie Coombes took lots of pictures of the team in Wales and hopefully we should be able to upload some onto the blog soon.

    Hope you are all having a fantastic break.  Just a reminder below when training restarts.

    Breakfast Club & Turn Practice

    Hope you are all looking forward to the Summer Break or Wales.  This Thursday is the last morning training for C Central until Thursday 8th September.  It would be good if we can get as many swimmers to attend as possible and have a team Breakfast after the session before we break up for the Summer.

    The pool will be free before our session starts on Wednesday and Thursday this week as the older swimmers are away at the Nationals in Sheffield.  Any swimmers who wish to come in and practice turns from half an hour before our session starts are welcome to do so.

    Couple of Reminders

    Land Training
    This will be on as normal tonight as Helen will be back from her Iron Man Challenge

    Entries
    Entries for Winter Yorkshire will be taken tonight and next Monday

    Wales Meeting
    Just a reminder that the meeting for all parents and swimmers attending the Welsh Summer Nationals will be at 19.30 in the Grandstand Suite which is in the Stadium.  Swimmers who are going to Wales will be finishing training at 7.15pm so they can get changed in time for the meeting.

    Kevin & Ryan Rolling on the floor laughing




    1500m Time Trial

    Don't worry too much about the times it was more of a mental test to achieve 1500m without stopping, even though surprisingly some of you achieved a North Eastern time in training which is excellent.  In C Central swimmers normally cover between 1500 - 4500 metres per session, but to swim 1500 metres without breaks is a test of fitness, mental concentration, gets swimmers to focus on keeping going when their bodies are finding the event tough and helps swimmers overcome the fear of swimming longer distances in races.  Well done to everyone who finished the 1500m.  There are also some 1500m times below from previous time trials and there is a huge improvement showing that you are all fitter, and stronger.  We will attempt the 1500m again in the year.
