Well done to everyone that took part and to our Speedo group coaches Marina and Kamila, who have done a first class job ensuring that swimmers performed to their full potential. Also thank you to the parents that were at Crystal Palace, particularly for their encouragement to all WSC swimmers and for their vocal support from the spectators’ gallery. New Squad Structure for 2009/2010 We have re-structured our squads to be better aligned to the ASA Long Term Athlete Development programme. This has resulted in more time in the pool for our older swimmers and the addition of much needed land training in the gym at Putney Leisure Centre with a qualified instructor. We have also adjusted the performance criteria to align with the target meet for the squad at the end of the season. We will be introducing league and lower level open meets for our younger swimmers to provide opportunities to test their progress throughout the year. A new competition timetable will be published later this month for the 2009/2010 season. For more information please refer to the Squads section of the website. New Timetable for 2009/2010 With the move to Putney Leisure Centre we have a new timetable. Some of the key features are:
We have now introduced additional pool time for our younger swimmers in the early evening. We will be introducing long course training and further 25m training after Christmas.
Wandsworth Swimming Club was successful this month in gaining Swim 21 accreditation at both Teaching and Skills Development levels. This is a fantastic achievement for the club and recognises that we are committed to providing safe and effective coaching of the highest standard for the benefit of our swimmers. We have, as a result of working to achieve this standard, introduced a number of changes to the club's procedures including development pathways that aim to support all our swimmers to be the best they can. Our ethos is to provide competitive swimming for all abilities working in partnership with the local authority and this too has been recognised by this award. We will be celebrating our achievement at an event at Putney Leisure Centre in July to which all members will be invited. We will let you know the details in the next week or so. For more details on Swim 21, please see the Swim 21 page on our website or follow this link to the British Swimming website. Volunteers The club is looking for volunteers to:
