Blog 2127: Discussions with Coaching Staff
It is expected that from time to time parents will want to discuss issues with coaches, issues such as progress, performance or circumstance (either swimming or external).
Often catching a coach at the end of a session can be convenient for the swimmer, parent and coach.
However, please be mindful when requesting to speak to coaches of the following: -
1. Ensure the coach has finished the session
2. Give space to those already engaged in conversation with the coach
3. Ensure the environment is suitable for the discussion you wish to have
4. Be aware the coach may have other commitments and may not be able to talk with you there and then
If the coach can not talk with you immediately following the session alternative arrangements can be made to book a pre-planned and dedicated meeting with the coach, this can be done through your squad representative.

Blog 2112: Arena League
Can the following swimmers please let me know if they are available. The sheets have been up now for 2 weeks and the gala is this weekend. The Arena league is the one series of competition where we ask you to put the club first. You should be proud to be selected for the club to compete on a National level. The galas are the same 3 weekends every year (the second weekend of October, November and December) and this information is sent out to you every year on the gala programme in September, is on the blog and the website. The warm up is always 6pm unless stated otherwise. As the response this round has been so poor and leaves little time for me to find replacements if indeed you cannot swim.

Blog 2111: Thank you!
Another successful Long Eaton Open Meet with positive feed back from some of the visiting clubs who had travelled from afar to take part in the Distance Meet. Thank you to those who contributed to the success of the day whether you baked a cake, supervised the warm-ups or did much, much more, and especially to those who continue to support and work at these Open events even though they no longer have a swimmer taking part!
Especially pleasing to see senior swimmers Bethanie Dennis, Christopher Stray and our new Club Captain, Katie Tew, Officiating - an example to you all!!
Sunday January 25th is a date for your diary, the next Long Eaton Open Meet where we will need lots more help to ensure the event runs according to our Licensing Conditions. Put it in your new diary now and make a New Year's Resolution to get involved and watch out for ways you can do this. Due to the changes in the ASA programme this will be our last January Meet so let us finish in style.
