The team
consisted of 34 swimmers and 7 staff with the swimmers drawn from
13 different clubs across the county and the staff from 6 different
clubs. This team was selected in line with the selection
policy and confirmed at a meeting of the selection committee which
was held after the County Youth long course meet. The team
travelled by Eurostar from St.Pancras to Paris where we were met by
a coach for transfer to the hotel.
The meet
attracted some of the Europe’s best swimmers’ with many
Olympic, World & European medallists present including Pernille
Blume ( Denmark), Jeremy Stravias, Marie Wattel ( France), Kira
Toussaint, Kyle Stolk ( Netherlands ), Marco Koch ( Germany), David
Verraszto ( Hungary) . There was also a group from the British ITC
at Bath which included Jaz Carlin, Siobhan-Marie
O’Connor, Chris Walker-Hebborn & Calum Jarvis
.
The meet
was held in an 8-lane 50m pool with the latest starting blocks
& backstroke ledges and full electronic timing . There was also
an 6 lane 25m warm-up/loosen down pool . The meet was set up with
additional seating stands, electronic advertising boards and
television camera filming positions. There were large electronic
screens for results and the live television streaming.
The
format of the meet provided the feel of a “mini
nationals” for our swimmers especially the younger/newer
members of the team. Accreditations were issued for all team
members. There was a call-room system in operation with a 2-stage
format where the swimmers final preparation was in a small room
before they when to the start. The heats were in the morning and
the fastest 24 made it through to the A, B, or C finals in the
evening session. The finals format also changed with the A finals
all swum in one block on the Saturday & Sunday evening to
accommodate the live TV coverage. The standard of swimming was very
high and it was tough to make a final, especially in the male
events. However, I’m pleased to report, that our swimmers dug
deep and competed with determination and all except one swimmer
managed to make at least one final over the three
days.
There
were numerous best times swum. The breakdown of swims were as
follows:
Day 1
– 20 finalists including 4 top 8 and 1 silver ( John Britton
400 IM )
Day 2 -
37 finalists including 7 top 8 and 1 bronze ( Katy Avramova 100 BK
)
Day 3
– 23 finalists including 3 top 8

results available
HERE (for individual results see below)
Each day
including a team meeting and due to the format/traveling the staff
all produced a timeline for the swimmers in their group so that
swimmers travelled to the pool on the appropriate bus at the most
suitable time for their race. We reviewed each days’ results
and targeted specific processes/activities for the next day. Sunday
nights’ meeting included an overall review and a team quiz
and the results of a group photo competition which was set for each
coach to organise with their group of swimmers.
Summary
This meet
provided our swimmers with a great opportunity to experience
competing in a different environment. For many it was the first
time racing abroad or without their parents/club team and with new
team mates and different coaches. The meet provided the feel
of a “major meet” where teams stay in one hotel and
then share buses/transfers to/from the pool, eat together,
warm-up/loosen down and even deal with the TV cameras/schedules.
Our swimmers had the opportunity to chat to Olympic medallists,
both from GB and from across Europe. There was lots of hat
swopping and selfie taking on the last day as new friendships were
made.
Our
swimmers also realised that they needed to be ready to race fast in
the morning if they wanted to make a final . They also realised
that things changed and they had to be flexible and ready –
the finalists were updated on the meet website and that was the
only way of knowing who had made a re-swim and at what time they
would swim.
Middlesex
County are one of the few English Counties which regularly takes a
team aboard to give swimmers the opportunity to experience a
different racing atmosphere. Of this group of 34
swimmers:
19
swimmers have been on one of county development camps in the last 5
years.
20
swimmers have been selected for our inter-county team in the last 5
years.
9 of
these swimmers are on the current England Talent Level 1 National
camp.
12 of
these swimmers have also been selected for the London Region team
in the previous 2 years.
2 of
these swimmers have raced Internationally at either European/World
or Olympic level.
This
shows a great progression for our county swimmers, and it proves
that swimmers who are selected onto our 1 day development camp
at aged 11 or 12 have the potential to develop and progress
with the support of Middlesex County ASA
Thanks
must go to Sharon Austin for all her hard work as team
manager, both before and during the trip . Thanks to the
coaching staff of Helen Thornton, Rick Hall, Matt Williams,
Dani Villaverde and Bram Montgomery for all their input and
hard work during the trip, we all worked together and provided a
supportive and encouraging atmosphere for all the
swimmers.
Finally,
my thanks to the Middlesex Swimming Committee for their support
over these past seven years during my time as head coach . Special
thanks to Pam Crofts & Andy Woska for their input, advice and
support across these years. I’m very proud of this County and
I’m sure it will continue to prosper, develop and support
swimmers & coaches under the leadership of the new head coach
Rick Hall.
