This is for Bronze, Silver and Gold squads.

So tonight the 4th November is 4:30 to 6:30pm. This will also be the same the the 11th November as well.

After this point it will change, drum roll ……. but we have not had confirmation of what that is going to be yet.

We are currently waiting on times and lanes being confirmed by Fife Leisure trust.

Sorry for any confusion and disappointment, we’ll get an email out with this in as well.

Thank you.

We need you to help, we need volunteers to fill positions in the club to help run this club. If we do not start filling these positions soon the club will get to a point that it can not carry on.

We need more coaches and more roles in the club filled.

The AGM is coming up and this is the perfect time to get involved. https://cuparswimming.com/2016/10/27/club-agm-agenda-10th-november/

Here are a list of the roles in the club, the sound a lot more serious than they are and we can all help a little, there is no reason two people can’t do one roll together if that helps, buddy up! The link below has more information.

Remember the committee meeting this Thursday (6th) at 7pm in the clubhouse . The committee is run entirely by volunteer parents and we would encourage anyone who has a child in swim club to come along and get involved ….. There are lots of ways to get involved in the smooth running of the club without giving up a lot of time . It would be great to see some new faces on the committee

Just a quick reminder of what the Club Fees are:

Swim Day 14th August

To follow on from our first post can we now get people to confirm by email that you are intending to come on Sunday.

The schedule for the day has not change but we will email one out to you when you have confirmed you are coming.

One thing to have a think about now, other than your kit bag and clothes to wear, is what food you will need through the day.

There are some small breaks to get changed in and also get some fuel in you as well.

This is an interesting article if you are wondering what to be thinking about food wise.

So please reply by via email to say if you are coming, if you need to get a faster response about something then please speak to some one on Thursday or Friday night.

Thanks

The Team.

Hello and I hope you have all been enjoying the sun, it does exist!

So we are planning a Pre-Season swim day on the 14th August, still in the holidays … just.

This will be for the Senior Squads; Bronze, Silver and Gold. The junior squads are more than welcome to come along and spectate/learn at the pool sessions if they would like to, so please do if you would like to.

The day will be run by Derek McGowan, Scottish Youth Development Coach.

It will take place at the Sports Centre and start at 7:45am. Below is the provisional timetable:

Arrive 7:45am
Pool 8 – 10am
Land 10:30  – 11am coordination and balance exercise games
Lunch 11:30 – 12:30pm
Education Session based on being a smart swimmer and winning behaviours 12:30 – 1:15pm
Pool 1:30 – 3:30pm
Plenary – depart by 4pm

We really do urge all the senior squad to grab this opportunity to get a head start on the session ahead and make the most of this opportunity to be one step in front of the crowd.

We need to gauge interest in this to be able to run it logistically so please let us know what you think.

More details to follow.

Thank you.

Cupar and District Swimming Club are planning a Sport Relief event next week. This will involve distance swims for the younger club members (badges to be presented at club awards night ) and team relays for those who train on a Friday night …… We were hoping for a donation from everyone taking part and will be collecting donations at the club table . We are also having a baking sale from the club table on each of these evenings and would be grateful for as many baking donations as you can manage ! All money raised will go to Sport Relief. 
More info to follow. Hope to see you all there.

I’m extremely proud to announce that confirmation has been received of selection to national stroke camps for both Scarlett Ferris and Adam Young. Of all the Fife clubs, Carnegie and Cupar are the only two to have swimmers selected to train with the national coaching team on the 23rd/24th April at the National Swimming Academy in Stirling. Well done to both swimmers in achieving their Bronze Squad times initially and then giving such a good account of themselves that they were selected for further development.

Age is as of 31^st December in that year and our records relate to short course swims only (swims achieved in a 25m pool). Any further queries about club records, please contact the Head Coach, Mark Laing.

Hi all ….. Planning on doing a Sport Relief event for Comic Relief on 17th / 18th / 19th March …. Something along the lines of Distance Badges for Junior Squads and relays for the Senior Squads with a suggested contribution of £5/ swimmer rather than a sponsor form and a cake sale for after …. We might need a few volunteers and a lot of bakers !! Watch this space !

Long Course training has been booked at the National Swimming Academy in Stirling on the 7th and 28th May. Both sessions are 10am-midday.

After the session on the 28th, we plan to stay in the grounds of the university and have a picnic, play team games etc.

If you are interested in training in the 50m pool, then please put your name up on the sheet on the wall at the pool.

Training is open to all Bronze/Silver/Gold squad swimmers and costs £5.00 per child per session.

Seems that the leagues are being pushed back timewise to 12.15pm start, so swimmers need to be poolside for midday.

Thanks

Another tremendous weekend of swimming from our swimmers saw 28 new lifetime bests set, two gold medals to Lewis, a Bronze to Cameron and 50m event finals from Lewis, Murdo, Charlotte and Hannah. 50m events were held as heats and finals and all other races were heat declared winners (HDW). Info Sheet – Carnegie Open Spring Meet

Murdo had a super weekend making the finals of the 50m Breast and Fly setting PB’s in both. In his 100m Fly he picked up a SNAGS (Scottish National Age-Groups) consideration time, so fingers crossed he gets a swim in Glasgow at the end of March. All of his swims were improvements on his entry time. Charlotte too picked up a couple of final swims, in the 50m Breast and Back. In the Backstroke final she set a SNAGS qualifying time, so she is guaranteed a swim in this stroke next month. She made excellent improvements to her 50m Free and Fly times too.

This was the first major gala for Callum and he smiled before, during and after every race. A clean sweep of PB’s in all of his races shows why he is one of the Bronze + team. A move to Silver Squad beckons if he keeps up this run of super training and racing!! Cameron had three races on Saturday and set fabulous times in each one. His 200m Free in particular saw him on electric form setting a great time and picking up third place. His 400m time was very close to the club record (held by Ollie Carter) and I’m sure Cameron will be targeting it again as the season goes on.

Connor swam on Saturday too and put in a decent performance in his 400m Free to set a time close to his entry. In his 200m Free he set a new lifetime best. Connor is training well at the moment and I’ve no doubt that his times will tumble across the board as the season progresses. Eve produced a marvellous 200m Free swim on the Saturday taking over ten-seconds off her time in one of the best swims of the weekend from our club swimmers. She was grinning from ear-to-ear when she got out of the water, so I didn’t need to ask her how she felt.

10-yr-old Hannah enjoyed a wonderful weekend of competition. She made the final of the 50m Breast despite being one of the youngest in her age-group setting a super new PB. In her 200m Breast she took off a whopping 20 seconds. In her 200m Free and Back she made improvements too, leading to her securing two more DRP times for next season. Just one more neededJ. Lewis too enjoyed an extremely good weekend, picking up gold medals in his number one stroke as well as setting new PB’s in his Freestyle 200/400 and Backstroke 200 too. His Backstroke swim in particular was raced extremely well, displaying excellent underwater skills and turns at the wall.

DRP – District Regional Programme – A programme of three training days presented by a national coach followed, potentially, by selection to a national stroke camp day to train with the best young swimmers from across Scotland. This year both Adam Young and Scarlett Ferris have been selected to national stroke camp. My thanks again to Jacqui, Karen and Jane for their assistance over the weekend and to our parents who supported the event as timekeepers/judges.

Mark Laing, Head Coach, Cupar and District Swimming Club.

it will be in the club house round the back of the pool. See you all there

The next meeting will be the 18th Jan and then the 2nd to last Monday of each month going forward there after, subject to changes around holidays and or special events.
