Welsh Nationals

We think the deadline for entries for Wales is tonight. I will be around from 5 ish in the cafe to sign any forms.

Our Best NER Championship to date!

A fantastic two weekends at Sheffield with lots of medals and PB's. All the hard work in training has really paid off. This time last year C Central had only 5 qualifiers for this meet. We have come along way as a group since then achieving 41 Pb's out of 55 Swims, 5 Gold Medals, 11 Silver Medals, 9 Bronze Medals and 3 Final swims. It was also excellent to see the past set of swimmers from C Central who moved to National Age Group recently achieve National Qualifying Times. Great Job . New swimmers it will be your job to step up and try and do the same as these guys did next year. You are all capable of doing it if you put your mind to it.

"I wouldn't say anything is impossible. I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and put the work and time into it".

Attendance

Most of you attend the required amount of sessions to be in C Central, however I would like to remind you all how many sessions, minimum a week you should all be attending to keep your place in the squad. We appreciate you all have holidays, illness and after school activities now and again, which is fine but when not away swimmers should be attending on average the minimum number of sessions below for their age to give them the best chance of success. These number of sessions follows the Long Term Athlete Development plan for Competitive Swimming.

9 yrs = 5 sessions per week minimum

10 yrs = 6/7 sessions per week minimum

11 yrs = 6/7 sessions per week minimum

11/12 yrs = 7 sessions per week minimum

Our squads swimming week starts on a Sunday night and finishes on a Friday night. If swimmers have competed on a Sunday they will be given their attendance mark for Sunday nights session. If a session is missed swimmers should try and make it up in the following week by attending an additional work out.

Below is the attendance since the start of 2011 up to Sat 11th June 2001 so you can all see if you are meeting the correct standards for our squad. (H = Holiday)

Great Job! 

Something to think about.......

"You do not want to get on the block before your race thinking I wish I could have done more in training.  Practice every start, turn and finish like you would do in a race, then all you will have to think about is winning."  

"I swam the race like I trained to swim it. It is not mathematical. I just let my body do it. It is a lot easier if you let your body do what it is trained for."
