Northern Junior League Final Tickets

Hi All,

 

We are pleased to inform you that you have been granted all of the additional Northern Final Junior League tickets you have requested.

 

Please ensure that you have the required amount of cash to pay Jo Yeomans, either tonight or on Sunday before you embark on the bus, for the remaining balance owed.

 

If you wish to travel by car (don’t know what’s wrong with a bit of good Team Bus spirit these days!), then this is acceptable however the price of the ticket remains £10.00. You will not be able to enter the venue until you have received your ticket, which will not be given out until the Athlete’s bus arrives at the venue.

 

You are reminded that if you do take your own vehicle, all athletes must return on the bus with the team. Please note that athletes who return to Leeds with parents in a vehicle may in the future, not be selected for the next round of the competition should the team qualify.

 

Please ensure you are in Leeds to meet your child following the return journey. If this won’t be possible, it will be your responsibility to communicate with the Team Manager or another adult/parent who can care for your child.

Yorkshire Championships & Changes to Training

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 whilst holding your skills.  Remember work the turns and transitions into strokes.  Smash the underwater work! Try and be first to 15m and then stay in front.  Accelerate into the turns and finishes, the walls are there to help you not slow you down.

Junior League Northern Final

Hi All,

Please ensure you arrive on JCCS on Sunday morning for 11:15am, in Leeds Kit. That is children AND PARENTS alike. (If you want to share in our success then share our colours).

We will depart JCCS at 11:30.

Warm-ups will commence at 14:00.

Event will commence at 14:30.

We will hopefully be done by 18:00.

Arrival back at JCCS: 20:00

Please remember, all children should have 2 x costumes (just in case), 2 x goggles, 2 x swimming hats, recommend 2 x towel, snacks for the bus, snacks for the pool (which you can give to them once we arrive at the venue in order to limit boredom eating on the bus), lunch (best give this to the children in case the supporters bus breaks down!), PLENTY OF WATER TO HYDRATE (it is a long day), TEAM KIT.  

PS. Parents not only should you be wearing Leeds colours but we expect you to make more noise than the swimmers..  You need to get behind every Leeds Child more than your own. Please remember to bring your wigs, hats, horns, flags, face paints, drums,

Let me remind you…      "A Team Above all… BUT ABOVE ALL… A TEAM"

Good Luck Everyone!

Junior League Northern Final Tickets

Hi all,

We have now received notification of tickets for the Junior League Northern Final (albeit very late), and a bus for parent transportation has been arranged.

There will be 53 tickets available for the Northern Junior League Final. Each ticket will include a seat on the coach to and from the event in Grantham and will cost £10.00 per person.

Each child will automatically be reserved 1 ticket per parent at the cost above. Should you require more tickets for additional family members, these will go in to a draw on Thursday evening.

The bus will leave John Charles at 11:30am on Sunday 2^nd October. Please arrive at John Charles for no later than 11:15am. Warm-up for the swimmers at the event will commence at 2:00pm, with the event beginning at 2:30pm. These events usually last 3 hours. Therefore we will expect to leave the venue at about 6:00pm, arriving back in Leeds around 7:45pm – 8:00pm.

Please note that all selected team members will be expected to travel to and from the event as part of the team and in City of Leeds Swimming Club kit.

I recommend that all swimmers eat well as a brunch before leaving home to arrive for the bus. Then we can top up on arrival in Grantham with snacks in the form of sandwiches, fruit etc. I also suggest you keep some additional food to give your children after the event as it is quite late when we arrive back. Please moderate the amount of snacks the children have on poolside during the competition but over-indulge the amount they have to drink. All swimmers should have a large drinks bottle on their person at all times and be drinking regularly throughout the meet. A 50/50 balance of juice and pure water is recommended by nutritionists.

Ensure swimmers have a spare hat, goggles, costume, T-shirt (club) and in some cases towels (as things often get wet at these meets).

Friday 23rd September

Hi All,

 

On Friday 23^rd September, The Queens Hotel in Leeds will be hosting the annual British Swimming Coaches Association Conference. This year as part of the conference, a selection of established national and international coaches will be coming to observe the younger members of the Leeds City Council Swim Training Scheme.

 

They will be arriving at around 6:30pm, to observe National Age Group, Regional Performance and Regional Development Squads. As such we will be expecting the highest levels of attitude and behaviour whilst the eyes of the swimming community are on us. I am requesting that you reinforce better than average behaviour from your child from this session, as it is a reflection of the Scheme, the Club and the City. Swimmers should arrive promptly onto poolside and begin their pre-pool routines with or without the coach’s presence.

Junior League Northern Final

Hi All,

Please could the following swimmers confirm their availability to Craig Robinson (craig.robinson@leeds.gov.uk) by Monday 19th Spetember

The Northern Final will be held in Lincolnshire on Sunday 2nd October.  A bus for athletes and team staff will be provided. Each athlete is expected to travel to and from the venue with the team.  This is a trait of high performance teams competing on an international level, and will also allow us to manage the children's safety upon arrival better as well as promote a more cohesive team.

The Northern Final is held on the same day as the Short Course Yorkshire Championships.  Those swimmers who have been selected for the Northern Final should make this competition the priority.  The Club will refund any races not swum at the Yorkshire Championships due to competing in the Northern Final.
