New Cross Club Squad Announced |
|
Dunstable and Luton Swimming clubs are pleased to announce the launch of the new Chiltern Swim Squad on starting on 1st June 2009.
This is a new squad formed between Dunstable and Luton swimming clubs with the main objective of improving the performance of swimmers in those clubs so that they achieve regional times next year with the aim of achieving national times in the future.
This is initially a trial which if successful will be expanded. Sixteen swimmers have been chosen (8 from each club in the 12 -14 year age range) based on their potential to meet the aims of the squad, including how close they are to existing regional times and their demonstration of effort and commitment to training sessions.
This new squad is by invite only.
Swimmers will continue to be member of their existing clubs and squad structure and will compete for them at all competitions.
Please speak to either Gary Smith or Gary Jesson at Luton and Pete Woodbridge or Paul Drawbridge at Dunstable for more information.
Entry Criteria
- Entry to the squad is open only to members of Dunstable Swimming Club or Luton Swimming Club
- Entry standard is to have a regional qualifying time or be within 5% of a regional qualifying time in at least one stroke.
- 50M times are not eligible for consideration for entry to the squad.
- An athlete’s ‘trainability’ is key and assessed by the head coach of either Dunstable or Luton swimming clubs. Consideration of inclusion in the squad will only be given to an athlete that is deemed to be capable of training at the required intensity to fit with the aims of the squad, demonstrates a willingness to listen and is receptive to coaching advice and shows a commitment to competition.
- Inclusion in the squad is at the invitation of the head coach of Dunstable or Luton Swimming clubs if they are certain that all the above criteria have been met.
