As one season ends...
... another begins. Welcome to summer and that means Long Course (50m pool). I have attached some info to whet your appetites.
You will find the State Age events listing and qualifying times. Remember please, no longer are you able to convert times. You also are unable to use short course times for long course meets. If you also consider that you are unable to use times older than 12 months, it adds up that you can only use times from December 17 2009 onwards for State times.
That being said, as State starts on December 17, we only have a few months to get some good training and racing done.
From January 1 onwards, there may be some divided focus within the training program. There will be people preparing for National Open/Age meets in April. There will be people chasing qualifying times for Nationals. There will also be those focused on school swim meets. Those with a focus on school meets will have a majority sprint focus across all strokes. All that being said, this will be the racing schedule.

That being said, as State starts on December 17, we only have a few months to get some good training and racing done.
- 19 Sept - Bayside meet - MSAC - online entries. Enter everything. Race as hard as you can. We need to get used to doing multiple events in a day WELL.
- 27 Sept to 2 Oct - Thredbo camp - get info and payment back to me now. Hard work plus fun.
- 16 to 17 Oct - State Open Water Championships - Hazelwood Pondage. A great chance to get to know Open Water swimming. Enter the 5k. Or 10k if you dare.
- 23 to 24 Oct - Kyabram meet in Echuca - get in touch with Andrew Happy Hammond for more info. This will be our club country trip for the year. We want swimmers to race their OFF events. That means butterflyers doing breaststroke. A fun meet. Email your entries to your coach.
- 20 Nov - Geelong Open - Kardinia Pool - its an outside pool and a good meet. A good opportunity to get outside our comfort zone (MSAC). Perhaps get some much needed vitamin D. Race main events plus a couple of ones you like.
- 27 to 28 Nov and 4 to 5 Dec - December Competition - MSAC - last chance for state Qual times. Will be last chance to race prior to state. If you have all of your times, race your main events. Try to stick to 1 or 2 swims/session. No more. You should be swimming fast here.
- 17 to 22 Dec - State Age - 6 days of fun filled hard racing and chance to show how good we really are. There will be a big emphasis on getting good results in relays and qualifying them for Age Nationals.
From January 1 onwards, there may be some divided focus within the training program. There will be people preparing for National Open/Age meets in April. There will be people chasing qualifying times for Nationals. There will also be those focused on school swim meets. Those with a focus on school meets will have a majority sprint focus across all strokes. All that being said, this will be the racing schedule.
- 14 to 16 Jan - State Open - MSAC - Will be likely using this for Open swimmers and Age swimmers chasing times. Also looking at using for relay QTs for Nationals.
- Your school meets. Really use these meets to swim fast. You may not be able to use the times but you will know what you are capable of.
- 11 to 13 Feb - NSW State Open - SOPAC - I will be taking a group of swimmers up there. Anyone interested let me know. QTs are tough and on the NSW Swimming website.
- 19 to 20 Feb - Australian Open Water Champs - Sydney International Rowing Centre - only for those qualified. 5km and 10km.
- 20 Feb - All Junior heats - MSAC - all swimmers aged 14/under should enter this sprint meet to practise for school meets and hopefully progress to the finals weekend.
- 13 March - District Swim Champs - MSAC - just another days racing...
- 19 to 20 and 26 to 27 March - will let you know which meets to enter this weekend. These meets will be used as really hard racing weekends. Enter lots of events. Race hard and race tired. Training will not be easy in this time either. Aimed primarily at national swimmers. Good for anyone though.
- 1 to 8 April - Australian Open Champs - SOPAC - For those that qualify.
- 18 to 23 April - Australian Age Champs - Adelaide - For those that qualify.

Rules for competition
Just a reminder of a few rules that Swimming Victoria and Australia are pushing pretty heavily. These are areas we did not do well in at our own meet.
Suits - Only allowed to wear ONE. None others. If you have a suit that is of the racing variety, it needs to have a FINA logo stamped on the left rear waistline. If it just a normal suit, no stress (yet).
No strapping tape - unless accompanied PRIOR TO THE EVENT by a doctors certificate and that the officials don't deem that it will give you an advantage.

Training
Just a note to say that those going to state will have no training Friday afternoon, Saturday morning or Monday morning.
Those not swimming at state will have the same but they WILL have a session at St Leonards on Friday afternoon at 4.30pm.
This is for swimmers in 8 and 6 squads.

Stranger things have happened
I have been telling swimmers to expect anything and not to be surprised.
Last year, as some may remember, a swimmer kicked a hole in the wall of the boom and they stopped swimming for 30 mins. When they recommenced, they did not use that lane and all the people due to swim in those lanes were put into a heat by themselves.
Expect anything.
When Michael Phelps was 16 (already an Olympian) Bob Bowman, his coach, decided he was getting a bit cocky and that everything was going his way a little too often. At a meet (a small meet, Nationals) Michael left his goggles on the ground. Bob saw them there and stomped on them. When Michael came to get his gear prior to the race, he saw his goggles and instantly panicked. Bob asked him how he was going to get around this little issue. Michael didn't wear any for the race.
That story is especially relevant as in Beijing, swimming the 200 fly, Michael's goggles filled up at the start of the race. Without panicking, he swam the race and stuck to the plan. If you remember, he got gold in every swim...

New Timeline
There is a new timeline. The major difference is that the Saturday and Sunday night sessions now start at 5.30pm (was 5.00pm). Therefore the warm up times for those sessions is now 4.00pm. This is NOT for Friday. Please read the attached.
Make sure you are well aware of the time your race is ESTIMATED to begin. It is only an estimate. Be there, in the pool are 90 mins prior to the race you are swimming. That way there is a buffer of time to counter any unexpected circumstances.
Take into account the traffic changes on Sunday too. They are all important to getting to the pool on time. There is a prior email with more detail.

Passes for State...
... will be available before competition on Friday. I will let you know more later but it is likely you will get them from your coach.
They are necessary for competitors to gain access to the pool deck to swim. If you do not have a pass, you cannot get down the stairs. Make sure you guard yours with your life and try not to misplace it. They are expensive to replace.
The only people with access to the pool deck are officials, swimmers and coaches. Anyone else on pool deck potentially puts the club in a position where we can be penalised.

State Qualifiers
We will be having a BBQ and Meeting for everyone that has qualified for State Champs this Thursday at Mentone at 6pm.
This will be an informal occasion so that we can all know and appreciate what each swimmer has as their challenge for the weekend.
Additionally, everyone that has qualified for state, your training sessions will be a little different this week. I would like everyone to swim only once a day and those sessions to be
Monday PM - At St Leonards
Tuesday AM - At Mentone
Wednesday PM - At St Leonards
Thursday AM - at Waves
Friday NONE - because you are swimming that night.
This meet is a different format this year. Keep your wits about you. Some events are straight finals, some are heats and finals. Some are fastest heat in finals. Know where and when you need to be. If you do not know, ASK. Better to know than muck it up.
Food - make sure you bring plenty of good food and drink. Make it really good, healthy food. If a coach sees anyone, whether they have finished swimming or not, eating gross, fatty food (esp. from the kiosk) words will be had. It isn't fair for those still swimming. Lollies aren't needed. You are VASTLY better off eating fruit. Don't go overboard on the sports drinks. They won't make you swim faster.
Every time I see a swimmer, they should be doing one of the following - warming up, racing, swimming down, drinking water, talking to their coach or smiling.
Make sure that ALL swimmers see their coaches BEFORE and AFTER every single swim. It is vital. It is likely that the coaches may not be with the Bayside group, due to the format and setup. Be aware of where you need to go.
Lastly, we need to get a LOT of seats. The more people we get in the door as early as possible, the better. We have the 5th biggest team. 58 swimmers. That means if each swimmer turns up with one parent, we will need 116 seats at the least. Help each other and reserve a whole lot of seats.
Swim fast, enjoy and don't be scared. It is only swimming.

Winter Interclub, Night 5
Well guys here we are, night 5.
Everyone has swum and competed so fantastically well, it has been a blast this year. I want to congratulate all of you on your behaviour and effort whilst you have been a part of this competition, you have all represented Bayside Swimming Club proudly.
I also want to take the opportunity to thank the Team Managers for their assistance with running our Winter Interclub campaign for 2010, without them we would not have been able to organise over 80 club members each night. Please remember to thank them on Friday Night.
With Friday being the last night there are a few teams who could go close to bringing home a flag, as such there will be an awards ceremony at the end of the night and I ask all of you to stay and cheer on those who won a flag and to also make sure we have everyone there for photo's etc...
Also the pizza night is this Sunday, if you haven't already done so please contact Nic Baker to confirm your attendance as we need to make sure that out booking is correct.
As a side note to the pizza night, the "pizza" tab that the club is paying for is for the swimmers who competed in the Interclub competition, whilst it may be ok for a brother or sister to take part we are running this under an honesty system and we do ask that any families attending also pay their way. If you have any questions about the pizza night please contact Nic Baker.
Let's get ready to swim fast!

Engine Wingskin Flyer
I also have an unused mens size 26 pair that I bought a few weeks ago for someone who didn't need it. Same price.Let me know.
Important information is that when fitting these suits, especially at the leg, that you should not be able to fit 2 fingers between the cuff and your skin. They need to be that tight and yes, they will be uncomfortable. That being said, you should only put them on just prior to racing and take them off straight after, before you swim down. If you look after them, your suits will last a lot longer.

Bayside Long Course Meet

Thanks

Van tanya in Nederland
Just letting you know that I have made it to Netherlands! There are a few computers here that have free internet so that's good. I will try to get on the blog at some point. Still yet to find out what events I am in "öfficially". There is rumour of a relay team. Anyway there's a queue for the computers so better get off. The flight was long but ok - Jeremy Tidy and I talked the flight attendant out of giving us low fat meals on the first leg, but it didn't work for the second!!

Updated address
We have very recently entered an agreement with a local physiotherapy practice. They are Southern Suburbs Physiotherapy Centre.
As of now, it would be preferred that all physiotherapy needs be looked after by SSPC.
As a club we need to become more professional and organised and this is a significant step forward in that area. Anthony and Zoe have had vast amounts of experience in many areas of physiotherapy and are now part of the Bayside Team. When you are seen for and injury/screening/check up, the results are then put into an email that is sent to your swimming coach and strength and conditioning coach. This way, we are all aware of what is going on. Twice this week already I have had email reports from physios. It is a great system.
The details for SSPC are as follows:
sspc.com.au
100 Lower Dandenong Rd
Parkdale
OR
705 Centre Rd

Physiotherapist
We have very recently entered an agreement with a local physiotherapy practice. They are Southern Suburbs Physiotherapy Centre.
As of now, it would be preferred that all physiotherapy needs be looked after by SSPC.
As a club we need to become more professional and organised and this is a significant step forward in that area. Anthony and Zoe have had vast amounts of experience in many areas of physiotherapy and are now part of the Bayside Team. When you are seen for and injury/screening/check up, the results are then put into an email that is sent to your swimming coach and strength and conditioning coach. This way, we are all aware of what is going on. Twice this week already I have had email reports from physios. It is a great system.
The details for SSPC are as follows:

Tanya at Worlds
Tomorrow, Tanya heads of to the beautiful hills of Eindohoven (it is actually flat, the whole country is) in The Netherlands for the IPC World Championships.
She will be swimming in 100 BR (day 2, 16 August), 50 FLY (day 6, 20/8), 100 FR (day 5, 19/8) and 50 FR (day 3, 17/8) plus likely relays. The competition starts on August 15 and continues to August 21. The heats start at 9am (5pm our time) and the finals start at 5pm (1am). I know what you are all thinking, she will miss out on voting. Apparently there have been postal votes sorted out.
Joking aside, this is a colossal effort. There are many people out there that admire Tanya's efforts from afar and now its time to let her know.
When I was a kid, there were things called Herograms that you could send to your favourite Olympians/Commonwealth Gamesians/World Championshipers. I would like to start that here in our little club too. I would like everyone out there to write to Tanya and wish her well. I am sure that all swimmers out there at Bayside would love to wish her well in an email.Tanya's address is tans53@hotmail.com and I am positive that she will appreciate every one of the emails.
I will be trying to sort out updates for everyone as they happen but I think the best place for results will likely be www.wcswimming2010.com which is the official website. I hope that they have a live results website up and going by the time the comp starts. Can't find anything yet though.
Thanks,
Gus
Coaches, can you forward this to your swimmers please?
