BOBSC Bulletin: External meets

Hi all,

It has been brought to my attention that we have swimmers in the club
entering meets outside the competition calendar without the coaches or head
coaches permission.

Please can I kindly remind all swimmers and parents that in order to enter
meets outside the calendar that it should be discussed with the swimmers
coach to make sure that it fits around the training programme and also to
ensure they are NOT over competing.

If swimmers are chasing times within 1-2 seconds of qualifying meets this
should be discussed with the head coach. We plan our meets accordingly to
the British swimming guidelines within the Long Term Athlete Development to
prevent swimmers peaking too early in their swimming careers.

All the competitions are planned to accommodate all levels and swimmers
should not need to seek competitions outside the Calendar unless with the
above reason stated.


Kind regards,

Carly Herbert

BOBSC
HEAD COACH
