Parents and Swimmers - Through out the next few weeks we will have group two and up perform test sets. These sets will be used for ranking each swimmer within groups, help establish intervals, show strong/weak areas and used as data for tracking purposes. Each test set is tailored to the group performing it but the work systems are the same for all groups. We be using the following sets:


Timed Swim  - T15,T20 and T30
Repeat Kick Set - 6 x 100, 10 x 100 and 15 x 100 Kick on R10 for overall time.
Repeat Swim Set - 6 x 100, 10 x 100 and 15 x 100 Swim on R 10 for overall time.
Repeat IM Set - 6 x 100, 10 x 100 and 8 x 200 IM Swim on R 10 for overall time.


We will rank each individual set within the group and do a complete ranking within the groups based on these sets. Additional information we will be using for tracking purposes will be practice attendance, Power Points ( based of swim times) and time standards achieved. While most of this data has been taken and recorded in the past we will now be sharing it with our swimmers on a more transparent basis. As swimmers who still have meets wrap up their competitions we will have them make up the sets they missed. We will perform these sets post champs competition, early season and mid season. It is important that your swimmer attends practice on a regular basis and arrives in a timely manner so we can ensure all swimmers have equal opportunity to swim each test set. 
If you have any questions please send me an email or catch me pre/post practice. I will be covering this in detail during our LC parent meetings in mid March. 


See you at the pool,
Coach Jason
