Upcoming Club Time Trials

September 1st, 2017

CLUB TIME TRIALS.  Tuesday 12th September 2017

Once again our Database of times is severely lacking up to date times for many young and new swimmers. Although time trials are regularly needed are really not good enough for you, as there is no real competition involved and they can be a waste of valuable training time and skill development. However, we must at the same time remember that every year new swimmers join the club and we need to repeat the same basic cycles and to measure improvements from year to year. If I don’t have updated times for you I cannot enter you into competitions or maybe you will be entered in the wrong heat fo you.

The next Club Time Trials will be held on Tuesday 12th September 2017. Warm up Commences at 18.00-18.20. 4 lanes will be used 18.40-20.00. Heats will be swam in the order Coaches determine, boys and girls mixed.

Junior Performance and Senior Performance squads will not Time Trial unless they see me by request.

All swimmers will swim all events they are asked to swim, no choices. Swimmers will not be moved squads unless I have times for them. Attending Time Trials is one of the commitments on your Squad forms and by attending that Squad you have accepted.

  • All swimmers in DEVELOPMENT, BRONZE, SILVER, RASCALS and GOLD will swim 50 or 100 metres each stroke timekeepers to split at 25 metres and record both.
  • Anyone from any squad wanting a Time for another event i.e. 100/200 etc. see me
  • IF YOU DO NOT TAKE PART IN THE TIMETRIALS THERE WILL BE NO TRAINING FOR YOU UNLESS YOU ARE IN THE JUNIOR AND SENIOR PERFORMANCE SQUADS. (06.50-2100 lanes 5&6)

Training will continue as normal after time trials till your normal session would finish (Silver and Rascals)
