Our Head Coach would like to remind swimmers and parents  of the following   club    

  rules:-:

v      Swimmers arriving late for training sessions disrupt the training of other club members. Swimmers arriving on poolside more than 5 minutes  after the start of the training session may not be allowed to take part in the training session..

v      Swimmers should carryout training activities to the best of their abilities, be willing to train hard and display a professional attitude at all times.

v      Less than 100% effort is unacceptable!. Swimmers continually failing to meet the  standard of the squad they are training with, will  be moved to a more appropriate squad.

v      Swimmers should at ALL times be respectful to members of the coaching staff.

v      When attending a training session swimmers must not talk to parents sitting on the balcony.

v      Parents must not disrupt training sessions by talking to their children over the balcony. Any drinks or kit must be passed to one of the coach team who will ensure the swimmers receives it.

  • v      When attending competitions swimmers must wear club T-shirts on poolside and club swimcaps   during  the race. Where a swimmer has been  selected.for either  the  Welsh Regional or Skills Development Squads, kit provided by Swim Wales is acceptable.

 

 

 

Diet & Nutrition.

 

When training and competing it is important that swimmers eat a balanced nutritional diet. The guide below is written specifically for swimmers focusing on dietary requirements for training, pre, during & post-competition, please take time to read it.

 

 

Land Based Training

 

If you cannot get to the pool jogging or skipping are a good way of maintaining fitness levels. As with all exercises please ensure that you carry them out safely and within your capabilities.

 

Why not use a combination of skipping and other exercises such as burpees, star jumps.

 

 

Training Logs

All squad swimmers should keep a record of their swim times both at training sessions and competitions. The logs book below are available to download and are an easy way for swimmers to record their training session and competition details. The log books contain full instructions for use and also some useful dietary information. These should be downloaded and printed out for personal use. Your coach may ask to see these from time to time and they should be readily available.
