Blog 2211: First weekend of Counties

Having just got back from Miami it was straight back to work at County Championships and I have to say it was well worth it. The swimmers put on an amazing display and 95% of them hit personal best times or times that were quicker than this point last season. Not only were the times of a high standard but how the swimmers raced was even better. Remember this is not a focus meet for older swimmers just race practice and the tactical skills used in the racing were a vast improvement and result of following the race programme correctly. Long Eaton swimmers were some of the best behaved and professional in and around the pool at the gala and this is a credit to not only the swimmers, but the Team Managers and the hours of hard work put in by the coaching staff in educating the swimmers correctly. Overall we had an amazing first weekend and I am proud to be Head Coach of such an impressive group of swimmers.
