By Steve Williams Swimming Metro North West Your Area May 2008 – Number 1 Swimming Newsletter President’s Note By Steve Williams Welcome to the first newsletter for your new area. Just in case you are not aware your area is now known as “Swimming Metro North West Incorporated” There is already a lot happening in your area. Our first championships will be held at SOPAC over the Saturday and Sunday of the June long weekend. After the championships are over the program will be reviewed, and if necessary, developed further by the Competition Committee. The Bronze development squad has its first session on May 17. Hopefully this is the next step in a long and successful swimming career for the members of this squad. At the end of the program the Development Committee will review the program with the aim of finetuning it to benefit swimmers even more. A committee has been formed to help develop our colours and emblem. Details follow later in this newsletter on how everyone can be involved in designing an emblem. This emblem will then be used on newsletters, area tops and caps, stationery and the website. Don’t miss your chance to be involved. The primary aim of your new area is to build on the strengths of the old Cumberland and Castlereagh districts and to grow into a new stronger area to benefit and support all our members. Thank you to those who are already putting in the time and effort to make this happen. Over the next few months we will be looking for feedback from members on what they want from the area. Again, don’t miss the opportunity to be involved. Everyone can have input and everyone can be involved in helping to develop our new area. Steve Williams.

If you haven’t received your card (or you forgot to apply), there is an application form on the Swimming NSW website, www.nswswimming.com.au. Go to ‘Resources’ then ‘Technical’ and scroll down to ‘Technical Official Credential Cards’, and click on here. Simply complete the form and forward it to Swimming NSW. Technical Officials (TO) Recently eight of our experienced TOs have achieved their accreditation as ‘Inspector of Turns’ and are now training for the position of ‘Judge of Stroke’. Subsequently they will be attempting to qualify as Referees. In addition, over the last three weeks a total 19 people from various clubs have attended training as Timekeepers and are now finalising arrangements for their practical assessments. In late May a number of our senior officials will undertake training as Presenters and Assessors. This will allow the Area to run more training and accredit more TOs. We need more TOs to share the load and to ensure that we continue to offer high standard, well run carnivals. I urge everyone to support their children’s swimming and seek accreditation as a TO. Both the Swimming NSW and the Swimming Australia websites carry detailed explanations of what you need to do to become an accredited TO. A brief summary of the process is set out below. Becoming an accredited Technical Official If you want to become a TO then talk to your Club Secretary. The Secretary will contact the Area ALEC Convenor and arrangements will be made for you to receive training. Please remember that you must be a registered member of a swimming club to be eligible to become a TO. Training for all TO positions is a self managed process. Candidates for all TO position will be required to: Complete a Training Exercise quiz - Obtain the relevant ‘Training Notes’ and ‘Training Exercise’ from the Swimming NSW website by selecting ‘Resources’ then ‘Technical’. Scroll down to ‘Training Notes’ and download the required notes (e.g. Starter) then scroll down to ‘Training Exercises’ and download the required exercise. Using the notes fully complete the Training Exercise. Attend a formal training presentation - Bring the completed Training Exercise quiz and the Training Notes to the presentation. The Presenter will go through your answers, discussing any pertinent points. SWIMMING METRO NORTH WEST NEWSLETTER IS DISTRIBUTED TO EDUCATE AND INFORM. THIS DOES NOT IMPLY ACCURACY NOR ENDORSEMENT BY THE SWIMMING METRO NORTH WEST AREA Swimming Metro North West Your District May 2008 – Number 1 Swimming Newsletter You will then be taken through the relevant SAL Learner Guide, completing a number of training exercises. (The Guide is provided by the presenter – it is not available on the net). Undertake a competency assessment - Arrangements will be made for you to be assessed for the required competencies for TO.

It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.

  • Preparation for Sprint Events
    PREPARATION FOR SPRINT EVENTS You cannot dive twice into the same water By Gennadi Touretski Presented at ASCTA 1999 Convention The Men’s 100 Freestyle is regarded as the blue ribbon event of Olympic and World Championship swimming events. Many former gold medallists have become household names. Two former Olympic swimming champions became movie stars – the most famous, Johnny Weissmuller, who later played the role of Tarzan – won two successive Olympic gold medals in 100 Freestyle during the 1920s. Two Australians have been successful Olympians in the 100 Freestyle – John Devitt in 1956-60 and Michael Wenden in 1968-72. The undisputed current star of swimming is Aleksandre Popov, double Olympic gold medallist, World Champion, and world record-holder in the 100 Freestyle. Although born in Russia, Aleksandre currently lives in Canberra and trains at the Australian Institute of Sport, where I have a coaching contract until the 2000 Olympic Games. At the 1998 World Champions in Perth, Western Australia, Australian sprinters achieved significant success, winning gold in the 200 Freestyle, silver in the 100 Freestyle and bronze in the 50 Freestyle. It is important to mention that, after a long dry spell, Australia was represented by two swimmers in the final of the 100 Freestyle. The successful 4x100 Medley Relay team can be explained by the great efforts of the Australian athletes in this event, and also by improvements in the training and technology used to prepare these swimmers. Michael Klim became a household name after the 1997 Pan Pacific Championships where he won the 100 and 200 Freestyle events.
