New to the
Time Trials
|
|
If your swimming teacher has selected you as a possible candidate to
join the Anaconda Swim Training Programme for competitive swimmers,
which operates at Cally Pool you will be invited to try out for the
Training Programme by coming along to our Club Time Trials held
periodically at Cally Pool. |
|
All races will be over 50
metres (i.e. 2 lengths of Cally Pool). We have approximately 140
swimmers in our training squads and as places become available they are
offered to those swimmers with the fastest combined times for the four
strokes over 50 metres. |
|
You must have a time for
each stroke to be eligible. |
| |
|
On Time Trial nights |
| On time trial nights you should arrive
at the Cally Pool in time to be changed and ready on poolside at 8.00pm.
|
|
There will be a list of heats
posted on the poolside wall outside the changing rooms and if you have
registered in advance your name will be listed in one of the heats. You
should look to see what heat number you are in. There will be a short
warm-up then the races will begin. The announcer will call out the heat
numbers and you should wait at the starting area and step forward when
you hear your heat number called. The highest numbered heats (which
include new swimmers like yourself) go first. |
| When all the swimmers have completed
one stroke we start the heats again with the second stroke. |
| |
|
After you have finished
your second swim you can get changed and leave. The results will be
posted on the noticeboard at Cally or are available from Ray Haggan 3 or
4 days after your swim. |
| |
| If you have any questions on the night
please ask one of our coaches or club captains (usually wearing their
red club shirts) or any of the other parents or older swimmers on the
poolside. Parents and supporters are very welcome (please wear the
plastic shoe covers provided if you are on the poolside). |
| |
|
If you have any questions
before then please ask your teacher for advice or you can call Ray
Haggan (details below). More information about the club and our
training programme can be found on the website. |

Time
Trial nights are lots of fun and we hope you will come.
Even if you can only manage
one evening it is worthwhile setting a time for two of the strokes. We
run 50 metre time trials every two months so there are many
opportunities to set and improve your times. |
