NSW State Opens - Feb 2011

Hi Everyone,

This may not be relevant to everyone but I don't want to miss anyone. I am taking a few swimmers away to NSW in February 2011 for the NSW Open Champs in Sydney. Joel, Tyler, Andrew, Nick and Luke all get to go as part of the Swim Vic State Team funding but I want to open it up to anyone else who wishes to to come. I have attached the program and the QTs. They are pretty tough. If you qualify and want to be a part of one of the fastest meets in Australia, please let me know. I have had some expression of interest so far.

This is primarily aimed at the older swimmers in the squad and the top age groupers who are getting better race practise.

We will be staying and eating over the road at the Novotel and travelling by train. There will be no need for hire cars. I want to get everyone on the same flight too. We will be leaving Friday midday and returning Sunday night (2 nights). This is programmed racing in to the training schedule.

Thredbo Camp cancelled

This is disappointing for me to inform you but due to circumstances, the Thredbo camp has had to be cancelled. My apologies to anyone that have already made arrangements around the camp but it was a decision I did not take lightly nor without all things being considered.

All those that have paid by cheque, I will return them. Those that paid online, I will organise repayment for you also.

This was an opportunity that I saw as being particularly positive to the club that now, unfortunately, has been missed.

Practice for Nationals at Echuca

Now 45 people are confirmed for Echuca,

Make sure you get it organised!

Not many older kids are confirmed, Age nationals hasn't been in melbourne since i was 12 or something...

What better opportunity to practice swimming away. If you want to go to Nationals you have to get some experience at traveling and swimming. Best thing is if you don't swim well you will at least be able to improve before age nationals. Practice and experience is the key to success. Unless you are on an Australian Team you need to do this!

Any more rspvps or questions email me ahammond89@gmail.com

Streamline depth

Keep it deeper and come up steeper.

The more water above you streamlining, the more propulsion you will get.

LC Meet - ENTER NOW

At the time of writing, there are 28 Bayside swimmers registered for the Bayside Meet. 28 from 140 odd. This is our meet, our fundraiser and our Club Championships. This really does need a LOT more support from the swimmers out there and for them to get their entries in early so we know what is happening and can plan more effectively for the meet ahead. Help your club, enter in every event. Use it as a really heavy racing session.

What do we have to plan?

• Length of time for meet - length of time for hire of pool. Really important and expensive.
• How many timekeepers we need, when they are needed and how long for.
• Catering for all of the officials and helpers. We don't want to end up with too much or too little.
• How many coaches go for which swimmers? Another cost.

Please help us by getting the entries in ASAP. If you know someone not going, tell them to get off their backside and enter. There are a couple of other clubs that do it well. Let us be known for running meets well too from support from the membership.

Thanks in advence for your support,

Gus
