Good Evening All

I have a few requests please? Can I please get a contact number for you that we can use on the day if we need to? Also can I get you to double check you have paid the £5 deposit please?

Arrive 9:15 for 0930 start
Pool 10 – 12
Land, Lunch and Education session from 12 – 2 – please bring lunch and snacks.
Pool 2 – 4
Plenary – depart by 4:00pm

A little idea for Sunday is to maybe use the opportunity to try out some different lunch items, this day is very much about making use of the opportunity i.e. it’s not a competition day so trying out a lunch that might not work isn’t going to be the end of the world. If you would like some ideas we are more than happy to make some suggestions. There are a great many websites with some good information on food and training etc Here is some advice from Scottish swimming as regards fueling for training etc – https://www.scottishswimming.com/media/368680/Fuelling-for-swim-training.pdf – lets try and avoid any sweets please

Also this https://swimswam.com/8-nutritional-recommendations-for-swimmers/

If you have a foam roller at home then please can that come along as well. I will l have a spare one, it is not mandatory just if you have one. Wondering what they are, this video will explain all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBmvWoCdoc4 and I find this one quite good. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B071XD4841/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_TnyKBbMZ5D1YN

Thank you and get in touch if you need anything.

Thanks

Hello

I have now sent out confirmation emails and if you have not got one please email me at [email protected].

More information will follow in the coming days.

Thank you

Robin

So to answer and expand on what the swim day is and where the idea came from I thought I would write it up and share via the website, twitter and facebook. (yes we have a twitter feed, it’s fed from the website as is the cupar swimming facebook person)

The idea behind the swim day is to run a technical day of swimming and swimming education. The idea is not for a fitness session but a technique session and technical session. The will be lead by one of Scotlands top youth Coaches from East Kilbride swimming Club, who is also the Scottish Youth Development Coach.

The idea behind the swim day has come from the program that Scottish swimming are running called the Development Regional Program or DRP. More information on this can be found here https://www.scottishswimming.com/compete/swimming/national-squads/district-regional-programme.aspx

So, it’s not going to be a physically tough day. It will be mentally stimulating and will definitely benefit all the swimmers that come. Even if you can make part of the day, it will still benefit you.

So Sharks upwards, this is for you, to help you get a flying start to the coming season!

Thanks

Following on from last years very successful Pre-Season Swim Day we are running another one on the 9th September 2018. It will be run much the same as last year and is open to senior squad swimmers in the first place and if we have space sharks as well. This year we are asking for a deposit of £5 to secure a place to swim. We are doing this to avoid cancellations and disappointment of other swimmers who would have been able to come.

We would look to firm up in the next 7 days, so if you are free on the 9th September then get this in your diary now!

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.

It will take place at the Sports Centre and we would like arrivals at 9:30am please.

Below is the provisional timetable:

Arrive @ 9:30
Parents arrive @ 3:30pm
All away @ 4:30pm

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.

Please email me at [email protected] if you would like to attend.

Thank you

Robin

Remember – 24th June it’s the Champs and BBQ

#### Save the Date. 24th June. ####

Club champs and barbecue notice is up on the board. This is our big swim event for the year !  Please take the time to read the notice – a copy has been posted on our facebook page.
Entry forms are available at the noticeboard – entries by hard copy only to the club table please.

We will shortly also email out forms to enable print and return.We will need lots of support from officials, timekeepers, team managers, coaches,  chefs/bakers and barbecuers (?) – last years event was a great success so here’s hoping the weather is once again on our side.

Please note that for those training this Friday 4th May, the session will start at 5:15pm rather than the normal 5pm.

Finish time will be as normal.

Thank you.

*** CLIMBING WALL – 28 APRIL ***

Due to the snow at the start of March, we had to reschedule the Climbing Wall to Saturday 28 April.  However, we realise not everyone can make the new date.  For those that can’t come, the £10 cost will be refunded.  If you cannot come, could you therefore:

1. Please mark this on the sheet on the Club Noticeboard (thanks to those who have already done this) and/or reply to the Facebook post asking for this information;

2. Pass on your bank details to the CDSC Treasurer ([email protected]) so a BACS refund can be made.

This needs to be done by THURSDAY 5 APRIL so we can confirm the numbers to the Climbing Wall and ensure the right number of instructors are available.

After Thursday 5 April, anyone remaining on the list will be assumed to be going to the Climbing Wall.  The exception to this are Performance/Gold squad swimmers who are waiting to hear whether they will be swimming in Aberdeen that weekend.

Also, if you aren’t on the list, but want to come to the Climbing Wall, please can you add your name to the list on the Club Noticeboard and/or reply to the Facebook post as there will now be some spare spaces.  Again, the cost will be £10 per child.  Junior squad is climbing at 3pm, senior squad at 4.15pm.

Thanks!!
