Team Kit at Competitions/ Lost Property

Hi All,

 

There were two full bags and a large bundle of towels collected as lost property from the Leeds B Grade Meet. This will be available to collect from the book stall on Monday evening (4^th July). Anything not collected will be given to the Aquatics Centre reception.

 

As a reminder to all parents please pass a message to your swimmer(s) to look after their own belongings and to tidy up after themselves!

 

There are some swimmers who have the habit of balancing there equipment on top of heir bags without zipping it away.  This causes lots of problems when kit goes missing just before racing.  Please label all kit and try to remind your swimmer (s) to zip all items of kit or equipment away in their bags when they are not using it.

 

Many thanks for your help

City of Leeds Summer B Grade 2016

Well done to everyone who competed over the weekend, most of you annihilated your PB's.  We are extremely proud of you all.

Regional Dev achieved a whopping 174 PB's out of 198 Swims, 2 Gold's, 8 Silver's, 5 Bronze Medals and 15 additional Yorkshire qualifying times.  Great Job!

You may need to use the converter (by clicking here) to convert the times you achieved this weekend in the long course pool (50m) to the short course pool format (25m).  This will enable you to see if you have made a  Winter Yorkshire qualifying time.  The Yorkshire Winter Meet takes place in a short course pool and this why you need to use the converter.  

Your challenge is to attempt to make the qualifying standard for as many different events as you can before entries close in September. Good Luck.   

* Upper Qualifying Times (13 & Over

* Lower Qualifying Times (12 & Under)

Not long to go now until our Olympics (Welsh Nationals & Sheffield Summer B Grade).  This is the last stretch now until the end of the season, try to attend every session between now and then to give you the best possible chance of success.  Lets smash it!!!!!! 

Remember............

Always practice Olympic starts, turns and finishes in training and then transfer this into your race.

Lack of concentration on skills in training only means you will be getting great at performing poor starts, turns and finishes.

Speed + no skill = only good until the skilful swimmers catch up

Skill + no speed = looks pretty but can't quite manage to achieve the qualifying time

Speed + Great Skills = recipe for success

Keep Training Hard!

Hi All,

I am sad to inform you all that Steve will be leaving Regional Development this week .  

We have had some fantastic results whilst Steve has assisted on the Regional Development squad.  I would like to thank him for all his time, hard work and effort and wish him the best of luck in the future.

I know Steve will defiantly be missed by the coaches and swimmers.  His last session will be Thursday 30th July.  

Sorry to see you go !!

In the mean time Kim, Phil, Jo and Alan will all be stepping in to help cover the next few weeks in Steve's absence.  I am pleased to announce that Kim Mathias will become the full time assistant on Regional Development from September.
