2012 Junior League Training Squad
(with additions)
-
pdf
(updated 24th April)
An initial Squad has now been selected based on our
swimmer rankings.
As originally announced 10/11/12 year olds were
selected on their 50m times.
We had hoped to use 25m times for the 9 year olds
but found that many swimmers hadn't got 25m times or
only had 'Relay Splits' so we have used 33.33m
times initially.
For each event the fastest swimmer is highlighted in
[RED],
Freestyle Relay swimmers in
[GREEN]
and those that are currently close to the team on time
in
[ORANGE].
Although this is currently how things stand it is sure
to change between now and the last practice gala at
Stratford on the 18th Feb so no-one should
feel they are out of contention with the 1st
round in April and the last one at the end of June, the
team never stays the same from one gala to the next.
In this league there are two relays per age group, one
Freestyle and one medley.
It is very important that swimmers work on their
freestyle all the time. Often
teams are picked for Individual swims and Freestyle
Relays before Medley Relays and as swimmers progress the
majority of their training will be freestyle.
The most important thing for all swimmers is to train as
often and as well as they can and to race as frequently
as possible. This
Initial Squad is not a closed list, swimmers will move
in (and maybe out) over the next few months, so if you
want get in the team and get an individual swim make sure you train as well as
you can and try and improve your technique and skills at
every opportunity.
