Blog 948 : More success for Long Eaton

This weekend saw Long Eaton swimmers compete in 2 separate galas. The City of Derby B grade on Saturday and Braustone sprint meet on Sunday. The swimmers came away with a host of Trophies and Medals but more importantly a load of Personal Best times. This is even more impressive given what part of the cycle the swimmers are in, having done nothing but endurance and strength work over the past 9 weeks with no speed. This did show towards the end of each day as swimmers who were already tired going into the gala after numerous events showed signs of fatigue - this believe it or not is a good thing as when we come to Club Champs (the last gala of the season) and we have rested the swims should be alot sharper and faster. I would like to thank both Alex and Kaye for covering theses gala's and both have given great feedback on behavior and how well you all swam - but both also picked up on the fact that turns and starts and finishes really need improving - remember if you are doing more than 1 length you have to turn so practice it as you would in a raceand everytime you come into finish a rep finish it properly. I would also like to thank the team managers who give up their time to help at these gala's. Keep up the good work and focus on the details as it is in these areas that the most improvements can be made.
