Hello Everyone.
Some of you wanted me to put the attendance on the blog from the start of the year so you can see if you are on target.
Some of you wanted me to put the attendance on the blog from the start of the year so you can see if you are on target.
Below is a reminder for the minimum sessions required each week Dependant upon age. The training week starts on a Sunday and finishes on the Friday. If a swimmer is absent and misses a session during the week, they should try and attend an additional session the week after to keep their weekly average where it should be in the table below.
This means that when you are 10, you need to be doing at least one morning a week, but we still like to see the younger swimmers experiencing morning training from a young age. Attendance plays a big part in what the senior coaches look at for move ups, as it shows dedication and commitment to the sport. This is why I cannot stress the importance of reporting absence before the session wherever possible, so we have a reason for the absence. Our training is based upon the LTAD (long term athlete development), for swimming and therefore if swimmers attend the number of sessions in the table for their age it will give them the best possible chance of succession the future. We do not want swimmers having to move out of our squad on the basis of attendance only, so please attempt your minimum number of sessions a week. Please check below to see if you are hitting the expected standards for the squad.
