Why has it changed? To improve the overall cohesion of the Harrogate swimming squad, all squads will be participating in future and time trials will be available to all squad swimmers regardless of club membership. This will provide more regular opportunities for new younger swimmers to watch and learn from the more experienced swimmers in the squad. To bring the event format and awarding of points more in line with the aims of each squad.
The New Format Only two swims – each month you will swim an Individual Medley (IM) event and one stroke event (i.e. either 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.
Distance Session – the December session will be a distance session where everyone swims only one distance freestyle event. Foundation/Disablity/County and Development (12yrs & under) will swim 400m. District/National Age/National Youth/ Development (13yrs & over) and Masters will swim 800m.
No entry slips – you will automatically be entered into the relevant events for your squad – there will be no slips to complete and post. If you know in advance that you won’t be able to attend the time trials there will be a “Non Attender List” on the notice board, on which you can enter your name. The list will be available until the Saturday morning prior to the session. This will help us to avoid a lot of no shows on the night and swimming with empty lanes. If you get sick on the day a call to Diane (07738696375) or to Sandra Martin (07971587550) would be very helpful.
Age –age for time trials will be as at 31st August 2008 (the end of the season).
Points for Time Trial Trophies – 1 point for each swim. 2 points for equalling or improving your PB for the event. Where you already have a recorded time for the event from either gala or time trial swims in last season this will be used as the baseline PB for time trials. If you do not have a time for an event you will set this on your first swim. There will be no target times or progression to different distances (with one exception – see below). Instead, bonus points will be awarded for achieving the relevant championship qualifying time appropriate to your squad and age. We are using the 2007 County, Regional and National times – a list of these will be posted on the notice board. For the Disability Squad, bonus points will be awarded on achieving a percentage improvement in the time set on the first swim of each event. There will be no bonus points for the distance events in December but you will get 2 points for swimming. Only club members are eligible to score points towards the time trial trophies.
Participation – all swim squads will take part in time trials – the squads are listed overleaf with the relevant event distances and bonus point arrangements. Swimmers in Masters, Disability and Development (both club and non-club members) will need to confirm their intention to participate in the 2007/2008 Time Trials series by completing the attached slip and posting in the posting box at the Hydro by 24th September 2007.
