BOBSC Bulletin: BOBSC News: A round up from the final weekend of the Yorkshire Championships 2015

The 2015 Yorkshire Swimming Association Age Group / Open Championships reached their finale with gala 4 held at The John Charles Centre for Sports Leeds on 21^st and 22^nd February.

The 9-10 year events and those of 400m and above for older swimmers were again decided on a "Heat Declared Winner" basis with 100m and 200m events for swimmers aged 11 and above being held in heats with the top 10 swimming off in finals.

After a hectic four weeks of competition Borough of Barnsley swimmers again had a very successful weekend with 4 medals, 14 other top ten finishes and 23 long course PB's.

Abigail Miles and Lewis Baker were again our medal winners with Abigail striking double Gold Medals in the 10 years girls 200m IM and 200m breaststroke (her favourite event) and Lewis winning double Silver Medals in the 10 years boys 200m freestyle and 200m breaststroke whilst also finishing 5^th in the 200m backstroke. A fantastic effort from them both with 5 PB's from 5 swims.

There were more heroics In the 9 year girls age group where Georgia Lee secured a top ten finish with 6^th place in 200m breaststroke whilst also competing in the younger age groups were Macy Yoxall who finished 11^th in the 9 year girls 200m IM and Phoebe McNicholas who just missed out on a top ten finish with 12^th place in the 10 year girls 200m breaststroke.

In the older age groups Libby Turner was consistency personified reaching the finals in all her 100m and 200m events and finishing 5^th in both 100m and 200m butterfly, 6^th in 200m breaststroke, 8^th in 200m freestyle and 9^th in 100m breaststroke.

Also reaching finals were Tom Speed in the boys 15-16 age group with 8^th place in the 200m IM and 10^th place in the 100m backstroke; Harriet Ostrowski-Jones in the girls 11 year age group 100m and 200m breaststroke finishing in 8^th and 5^th places respectively; and Corinne Hill in the girls 14-15 year 200m butterfly finishing in 9^th place.

Tom Speed and Harriet Ostrowski-Jones also claimed top ten finishes in their 400m IM events where Tom finished in 9^th place and Harriet in 5^th place.

In other swims Sam Charlesworth in the 11 year boys age group finished in 14^th place in the 200m breaststroke; Greg Lugton in the 13 year boys age group narrowly missed the finals finishing in 12^th place in the 100m backstroke, 13^th place in the 100m freestyle and 15^th place in 200m backstroke (and achieved PB's in all his events throughout the four weeks of competition); Tom Speed finished 22^nd in the 100m freestyle (the first time he has broken the 1 minute barrier in this event at a long course meet); Harriet Ostrowski-Jones finished 19^th in 200m freestyle; Elizabeth Safonkina in the girls 12 year age group finished in 14^th place in the 100m butterfly, 15^th place in 100m breaststroke, 18^th place in 200m breaststroke and in 27^th place in 200m freestyle; Jessica Richardson also in the girls 12 year age group finished in 13^th place in 200m butterfly; Corinne Hill finished in 19^th places in both the 100m butterfly and 400m IM; and Alanah Hill in the girls 14-15 year age group finished 23^rd in the 400m IM and 29^th in the 100m butterfly.

On a personal note I'm very proud of the achievements of all the swimmers over the last four weeks of competition whether these be securing qualification in the first place, achieving PB's, achieving a top ten finish and of course winning a medal

 

On behalf of the swimmers I'd like to say "a big thank you" to all the volunteers who have helped out at poolside throughout the championships and to all those who have helped to ensure that our routine training sessions have run smoothly. A "big thank you" also to all of our supporters during the championships.

 

Go BOBSC!

BOBSC Bulletin: Tips for parents during training

I will confess, since my eldest daughter started swimming lessons I've started to turn into one of those enthusiastic swim parents I said I would never turn in to and would always take the laid back approach and leave it to the teacher/coach. Easier said then done. 

If you're an involved swim parent, you've seen interesting days on the pool deck, with new parents and more seasoned ones.

Here are my 12 tips on what to do — and not do — during practice:

DOS

1. Keep a case of water in the car. If your swimmer doesn't drink it all, you will.

2. Bring snacks for your child to refuel after practice even if it's right before dinner. A nutritionist swim mom told me for best recovery your swimmer must refuel within 20 minutes of practice. Chocolate milk is a great choice.

4. Reach out to new parents and those with younger swimmers on the team.

5. Sit away from the edge of the pool and away from the coach. A head coach told us swimmers got distracted listening to parents gossip when we sat directly behind him. Now, we're on the opposite side of the pool.

6. Take advantage of practice time. Get a group of parents walking or start a dryland group. You can always catch up on reading, too.

DON'TS

7. Don't talk to — or coach — your swimmer while he's in practice.

8. Don't interrupt the coach during practice. If there's something you need to say, catch the coach before or after practice, or send an email.

9. Don't compare your swimmer to others on the team. There's no positive outcome for anyone by doing this.

10. Please don't videotape your children during practice. They really don't want to review with you later that night what they're doing "wrong."

11. Gossip is never a good idea, whether it's about another family, swimmer or team.

12. Try to avoid causing a scene on deck. Your swimmer will be mortified forever.

BOBSC Bulletin: BML report

Dear All What a great day yesterday at our first BML fixture. As team manager I was so proud of your commitment and team spirit. You swam with enthusiasm, great effort and skill but what I was most proud of, was your pride in representing each other. To come second in a competitive fixture was excellent and to only lose by 4 points in the final double points event was highly credible. Can I thank Macy and Lola Yoxall for being my official team motivator/ cheerleading enthusiasts and Alanah and Corrine Hill for being my social secretaries and ensuring all the younger children were ok. Well done to the older swimmers who vocally supported everyone and helped the adults on poolside ensure all children were at the right places at the right time. A big thank you to Nigel Miles, Ian Sharpe, Diane Richardson, Carol Brain and Jaynes Smart for your contribution poolside and to Sam for her hard work as coach on such a manic two hours. Finally thank you to the parents for their vocal backing throughout the day. See you on Sunday 22nd March when we will be attending our second fixture at Wakefield. I can't wait....... Watch out. Team Barnsley is coming.... Craig Team Manager
