Purpose - To improve the overall cohesion of the Harrogate District Swimming Club squads, except National squad, participate in monthly time trials these are available to all squad swimmers regardless of club membership. To provide regular opportunities for new younger swimmers to experience swimming in a race environment and to watch and learn from more experienced swimmers. To provide regular opportunities for improvement of times that can be used for entry to some swimming galas.
Format each month you will swim an Individual Medley (IM) event and one stroke event (i.e. one of Breast/Back/Fly/Free). The stroke will change each month and you will be advised on the night which stroke is being swum. Over the course of the year you will swim each stroke twice. Stroke distances are either 50m or 200m and IM distances are 100m or 200m depending on squad.
Distance Session the December session will be a distance session where everyone swims only one distance freestyle event. Events will differ for each squad and in some cases may differ for males and females depending upon the wishes of your coach.
Participation you will automatically be entered into the relevant events. In order to participate you must check in with your coach NO LATER THAN 6pm on the night. If you do not let your coach know you have arrived or you arrive late you are unlikely to be able to swim
New Swimmers When you arrive please check in with your coach and ensure that you give them your date of birth. Once we have your details you will be entered every month. Please remember that you must be a club member in order to compete at galas and to be awarded prizes for Time Trials and Club Championships.
Age age for time trials 2009/2010 will be as at 31st August 2010 (the end of the season).
Points for Time Trial Trophies One point for each swim; one bonus point for improving your Time Trial PB for the event. Time Trial PBs achieved last season will be used this season. If you do not have a time for an event you will set this on your first swim. Bonus points will be awarded for achieving the relevant championship qualifying time appropriate to your squad and age. We are using the 2009 Long Course County, Regional and National times. For the Disability Squad, bonus points are awarded on achieving a percentage improvement in time. Only club members are eligible to score points towards the time trial trophies which will be awarded at the Club Presentation day (usually in July each year).
Parental Assistance In order to ensure the effective running of Time Trials we require the assistance of some 20 parents. About a week before the Time Trial a notice goes up on the main notice board, near the top of the main stairs, please place your name on the list and come along and help. As with all these things, the more help we get the easier it is for everyone. You dont need any experience as we will show you what you need to know. Oh and its actually quite fun too!
See you there!
