BSSC Guide to Competitions

Posted on:

As our club continues to grow, we will naturally have a number of our swimmers attending competitions for the first time.  Even those who have been with the club for 2-3 years will not have experienced many events, so we have created a guide that aims to answer those common questions of what should we bring, where are we going, what do we do when we get there etc etc! It applies to events held for just our club at our home pool and those run by clubs further afield. 

We hope you find it useful.  Even if you’re an old hand at this, please have a glance through it and let us know if anything is missing or can be improved.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Joe Collins for stepping in as acting Head Coach through Counties and to Laure Grattepanche for helping out with the club’s coaching needs at short notice.

Our new coaches bring an exceptional amount of new knowledge and experience to the club.  Their ambitions on introducing a new club structure, new training methods and an increased engagement with both our swimmers and parents will really allow the club to create a positive swimming community.  Working together will help maximise our swimmer’s potentials, whilst keeping it fun and enjoyable for everyone involved. 

We are also excited by the opportunities that having a larger coaching team presents, bringing much more depth and flexibility to do more events, training camps, galas and to offer a more personalised coaching experience.

The committee thanks all the members for their continued support.

Please join us in welcoming the new team.
