Well done to all of you and good luck at the event (More to follow).
RASC has another level 2 teacher
Confirmation has come through that Jill is now a level 2 swimming teacher. Congratulations to her for all the time and effort she has put into her teaching this year in particular as she has now has passed both her level 1 and level 2 in under 12 months. Roll on level 3 :)
National Plan keeps swimmers focused
We have been teaching to the National Plan for 7 months now and have rolled out the higher levels to our A and B squads. Not only does the plan provide the club with an objective way of gauging progress it also gives swimmers of all levels greater incentive to improve; a badge on the towel always looks good.
The introduction of NPTS Level 8 to B squad has helped the coaching team focus energy on starts and turns and there has been a massive improvement at galas in this area. For A squad NPTS 9 and 10 has enabled the club to emphasise the importance a solid leg kick, especially the butterfly kick from the start and turns.
See our list of honours here - keep up the good work swimmers.
