  • Environmental Effects and Considerations Senses
    Environmental Effects and Considerations The aquatic environment in which newborn, babies, toddlers and preschoolers play and learn may promote or inhibit their ongoing water familiarisation and aquatic skill development. In part, this will depend on many environmental factors which accumulatively determine whether the child has a positive or negative experience. This Unit of Study will reflect on these factors and discuss the various aspects of many of them. It must also be remembered that many of these factors also impact upon the child in their home environment; in aquatic play with caregivers at any location as well as more formal water familiarisation or swimming and water safety lessons. A safe, comfortable, non-threatening environment will promote positive outcomes and enhance learning as well as make good business sense for Swim School operators. Senses People primarily determine their like or dislike of their surroundings through sensory feedback. People primarily sense through the six exteroceptive (external) senses: 1. Sight 2. Sound 3. Smell 4. Taste 5. Touch/feel 6. Balance To a lesser extent people also receive feedback via interoceptive (internal) senses such as pain and the stretching of internal organs. These senses could play a role as a result of ingesting water and the stomach becoming distended. The third aspect of sensory feedback is proprioception which provides feedback solely on the status of the body internally. This is the sense that indicates whether the body is moving with required effort, as well as where the various parts of the body are located in relation to each other. The ears, eyes, muscles, ligaments and skin provide sensory information in order to guide your body enabling smooth movements, body balance, good posture, and automatically react to the immediate surrounds.

  • Long Term Development in Swimming
    Long term development in Swimming Vince Raleigh National Youth Coach 2011 1 There is an increasing interest in the longitudinal development of athletes in all sports. Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) has become a popular notion with many western sports policy makers and National Sport Organisations. The average age of the Australian swimmers in Beijing (2008) was 23 years with none of our men’s team below the age of 20 years. This reflects the trend towards older and more mature athletes staying in competitive swimming. Another interesting fact from the Beijing Games was that the Gold Medallists in Swimming had an average age of 22.2 years – 23.9 (Men); 20.4 (Women). Therefore, coaches, parents, administrators and athletes need to have a long-term view for our sport. Older and mature elite swimmers are competing longer at the highest level. This long-term outlook is confirmed in many articles and texts. Many of these mention the Ten-Year Rule that suggests “that world – class expertise in every domain (violin, math, chess and so on) requires roughly a decade of committed practice. Indeed, scientific research has identified that it takes at least 10 years, or 10,000 hours for talented athletes to achieve sporting excellence. For athlete and coach, this translates into slightly more than three hours of training or competition daily for 10 years. There are no short cuts! (Talent Code; pages 51 - 53). Countries such as Canada, the UK and Ireland have had their direct government funding predicated on each sporting organisation having LTAD models for respective sports.

  • The History of the Townsville and District Rugby Union – Part 7
    The History of the Townsville and District Rugby Union – Part 7 Affiliated Clubs – in their own words Townsville and District Rugby Union Affiliated Clubs The following has been submitted or taken from the Townsville and District Rugby Union affiliated club members, Presidents or Anniversary information. Some clubs may have elected not to submit or no longer exist. Brothers Rugby Union Club. The following has been taken from the history section the Brothers 50th Anniversary Commemorative Whisper, these sections complied by Peter Ryalls, Edward McGovern, Shane Laskey and Terry Fanning. Published in 2018. 1969 and Beyond ln 1967 Rugby Union was reborn in Townsville and a small band of enthusiasts came together to form a new Club, which for want of a better name, was called ’All Schools’. Initially, that group of players (the nucleus of the future Brothers Club) trained under car headlights at Queens Park under the guidance of Dudley Jones a Townsville Barrister and rugby aficionado. By the end of the 1968 season, it was felt that the Club was not attracting enough players, even though the Club had performed well on the field, and a special meeting was convened to sort out the problem. At this meeting (held at Mrs Guides’ Shore Drive Motel) it was resolved that, at the next Annual General Meeting, the name be changed to ‘Brothers Rugby Union Club’. The thinking behind this was to widen the Club’s sphere and also attract players in the city who had been associated with other Brothers Clubs in Queensland. Those present at that meeting included past Presidents and Life Members, Raoul Guides and Peter Ryalls and brothers Laurie & lan Smith and John and David McCalIum as well as Bill Carter (later a Supreme Court Judge} and John Shaw.
