Blog 3360: House Cup

The house Cup started from the first session of the new time table. Swimmers should print off their attendance sheets and take them to every session, this way the coach in charge of the session can sign them off. At the end of each week hand the attendance sheet to the main squad coach.

For Galas Print off the process sheet and fill in processes for the events the swimmer is competing in. The processes should be things like " I am only going to breath 8 times on 50 free" " I will do 4 fly kicks of each wall on 100 fly" " I will touch with both hands on Breaststroke" etc. Swimmers take this sheet to the coaches at the start of each race and whilst the swimmer is racing the coach will fill in or tick the processes off and give the swimmer a score for each race, swimmers report to the coach afte3r racing and take the sheet away. After the gala get the sheet back and then hand it to the main squad coach who will transfer the scores to the over all house cup sheet.

Whilst it seems like a lot of work it really isnt and will get easier each time as processes are normally repeated or adjusted i.e. 8 breaths on 50 fr moved to 6 breaths and eventually to no breaths .

In terms of times these are all recorded on the British Swimming site for licensed galas (none licensed galas are not recorded so are only used for novice swimmers to gain experience) the link for this is below.
