Well done to all those swimmers racing at the Central Gala, Club Championships and West Districts. There have been some great swims, huge PB's and lots of medals over the past month which is all down to the hard work in training. We still have some racing to do before Christmas so keep focused and race well - remember to work on those starts and turns.

Please remember to hand back your gala entry form to your coach by Saturday morning.

Details of Christmas training will be published soon.

Turns

2009-02-06T06:20:00.001-08:00

This month the focus for all squads is TURNS!

Especially:-

Underwater streamling - the flags are your target

Doing good race quality turns in training sets.

Work out how many turns you do in a session and then work out how much turns practice that is every time you are in the water.
