BOBSC Bulletin: Squad Expectations

 

Hi all,

 

As some of you may be aware I have been working towards creating new targets and goals for the club since my appointment in February.  as I was appointed in the middle of the season it was not the right time to make any major changes to the squads.

 

Now we are at the start of the 2014-15 season I have brought in the new squad criteria now known as squad expectations that all swimmers should be achieving in order to continue with their progression in the long term.

 

The biggest changes are that there will no longer be an A1 squad. The squad will now be known as A squad and the SJD squad will now be known as the Youth squad.  All other squad titles will remain the same.

 

The criteria is based on the British swimming LTAD system. Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) is about achieving optimal training, competition and recovery throughout an athlete's career, particularly in relation to the important growth and development years of young people. 

 

If a long term approach to training is not adopted there is likely to be a plateau in performance, when growth and development slows significantly. Which for some swimmers may result in their performances getting worse.  

 

 

A swimmers progressions through the squads will be based on the expectations from the squad and discussed in the monthly coaches meeting.  all movements will be based on the coaches discretion.

 

Please could all parents and swimmers read through the expectations of the relevant squad carefully. 

 

Kind regards

 

Carly Herbert

2014 City of Leeds Grade 2 Meet

Eleven swimmers from the Borough of Barnsley Swimming Club competed in the City of Leeds SC October Level 2 short course Meet held at the John Charles Centre for Sport on 25 and 26^th October 2014.

Reaching the start list was an achievement in itself as the meet was over-subscribed and over 1,200 swims were rejected.

The swimmers again demonstrated their continuing improvement and achieved a further 23 personal best times.

The 9 and 10 year old swimmers were awarded medals on a heat declared basis whilst the 11 year and upward swimmers swam in heats with the top ten in age categories 11/12, 13/14 and 15 and over swimming again in the finals.

Alexander Tikhonov (9 years) won gold medals in the 200m breaststroke and 200m IM and a silver medal in the 100m backstroke. Georgia Lee (9 years) also won bronze medal in 50m breaststroke.

In the 13/14 age group Libby Turner (13) reached the finals of the 100m backstroke finishing 5^th, the 200m IM finishing 7^th, and the final of the 200m breaststroke.

In the 15 and over category Thomas Speed reached the final of the 50m breaststroke finishing 9th. At 15 he was by far the youngest in a final that was dominated by swimmers from Loughborough University.

New short course personal best times were achieved by:

Alex Tikhonov 100m free, 50m back, 100m back, 200m breast, 200m IM

Ben Nutt 50m fly

Greg Lugton 200m free

Tom Speed 50m breast

Elizabeth Safonkina 200m free, 200m breast, 50m breast, 100m back, 100m breast, 100m fly

Georgia Lee 50m breast, 100m breast

Harriet Ostrowski-Jones 100m free, 100m breast

Jessica Richardson 100m fly, 200m back

Libby Turner 50m back, 100m back

Phoebe McNicholas 200m breast

This was an extremely tough meet and the sessions were long with swimmers racing up to 7pm in the evening.  The swimmers, although tired showed so much determination at this high level meet and swam exceptionally.

Well done to everyone!

 

Carly Herbert

Head Coach
