Training

• To ensure best results train hard every time you are at training and be at training a lot.
• 12yrs and under should maintain an average of 5 - 6 sessions per week.
• 12-13yrs should maintain an average of 6 sessions per week.
• 13years and over what every number is decided by primary coach.
• Be at training on time.
• We train through holidays.
• Any swimmer complaining of an injury is required to provide medical information to they’re primary coach. A session will not be modified without medical information and swimmers will be excused if they can not complete session provided.
• All changes to training time will be notified on the web - site and the coach boards.
• A very informative web site is attached to the klimswimtrojans.org.au links sections to help parents and swimmers manage through the day.
• Any inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated.

Competition Meet Calender

• Check up and coming swim meets on the swim meet calendar on klimswimtrojans.org.au
• Enter events recommended by primary coach.
• Swimmers should learn to fill in their own meet entry cards, IT IS their responsibility.
• Places entries in top draw of the filing cabinet on pool deck under Meet Entries before the DUE DATE for the Klim Swim Trojans. (late entries will not be processed by the club meet entries office)
• Check Vic Swimming website for time line of swim meet.

Day of the meet

• Arrive on time for warm-up which is at least 1 hour and 15min before start of the meet or first swim if is later on in the day. (Please let coach know of any late arrival times).
• Do the land-work warm up and swimming warm up prescribed by primary coach.
• Swimmers who do not wish to take the appropriate attitude to the warm up which is design for swimming performance and injury prevention the primary coach reserves the right treat this as the swimmers attendance is not towards the goal of the Klim Swim Trojans and deal with that swimmer accordingly.
• It is a good idea to right the event numbers on the swimmers arm to help remember which events they have entered.
• Eat and drink appropriately. A very informative web site is attached to the klimswimtrojans.org.au links sections to help parents and swimmers manage through the day help the swimmers performance.

The RACE

• All swimmers must see the coach on duty 2 events BEFORE they go to marshal and directly AFTER their swim or cool down (if cool down pool is provided).
• Swimmers are required to wear Klim Swim Trojans Caps (if they wear a cap) and Klim Swim Trojans uniforms.
• Marshal on time and stay warmed up
• Race hard!.. Race to win!.. Have fun!
• Failure to do one of the above will result in the coach on duty not providing coaching on this particular swim session.
• Parents it is very good idea not to be coaching your child at all because it will only generate confusion in the swimmer. If a coach feels this is the case they will not provide any further information to swimmer as not add to the confusion.

I hope this helps you understand how we operate a bit clearer and remember that the best swimmers are the ones who work harder and training more than the others.
