Blog 1401: Great weekend for Long Eaton Swimmers
This weekend saw Long Eaton swimmers compete at National Masters and Belper Marlin's "Ghoul in the Pool". Some great performances all round with lots of Personal Bests being beaten, including some in the Masters Championships. Performance of the weekend goes to Youth and Senior swimmer Helen Gorman for breaking two more British Records in the 200IM and 200 Breaststroke. Some great racing from everyone at "Ghoul in the Pool" meant that the club won the Top Visiting Club trophy. An awesome weekend for all the swimmers who represent Long Eaton Swimming Club. Well done to all.

Blog 1362: J3 Prestige
After reviewing where we are as a club and the services we can offer, I have decided we now have the kind of environment where we can offer swimmers the best opportunity and pathway in the county. This means a slight change in our structure and how we feed into the County Elite squad Derventio eXcel. In no way shape or form does this lesson our support of Derventio eXcel. I fully support their program and the great results that Andi and Kim are getting there and we will continue to feed into the DX full time squad.
The J3 Prestige squad will provide the top end of J3 with better training opportunities and mean that we no longer feed DX through the DXDS squad, which is meant to provide the smaller programmes with additional hours for their swimmers.
The Criteria to receive an invite into this squad is a minimum of 4 of the following initially .
As with any squad the coaches will have the final say in who is invited into the squad and after the initial intake this criteria will be rigidly enforced as a minimum requirement in all 5 areas.The expectations will be high for this squad and swimmers invited to it will be on a six monthly review and must maintain the following standards to stay in it.
The squad will include all J3 sessions, the J3 plus session, the land training session with Callum on Wednesday night (who is still the only strength and conditioning coach working with a club in the Region) and instead of training at Queen's on Sunday, the swimmers in J3 Prestige will join the Youth and Senior swimmers at Loughborough for long course training. All of this for just £50 a month.
Invites will be sent this month with swimmers starting in the new squad from November 1st.

Blog 1361: Sundays at Queens
In order to encourage as many swimmers as we can to start doing morning training we are going to swap the sessions at Queens Street on Sundays round from November 1st. That way J3 and the top end of J2 who should be attending the Monday morning session will be in the earlier slot of 4-6pm so they can get enough rest to go to the session. Meaning the J1 swimmers and J2 swimmers who do not train Monday Mornings will be in the 6-8pm slot.
