Does your child want to develop their swimming skills? Does your child want to train and compete in a fun and friendly environment? Is your child 8 or older by the end of 2021? Then Saffron Seals are looking for you!
Saffron Seals are looking to take on a brand new intake of swimmers starting in May, swimming on a Sunday morning between 9am and 10am. If this is something that interests you, we are holding trials this coming Sunday (2nd May) and then the following week (9th May) for any swimmers, we would like to have another look at. These trials will take place between 9am and 10am.
We are looking for swimmers who are able to:
• Swim 50 metres front crawl, breaststroke and backstroke.
• Swim 25 metres butterfly or dolphin kick.
• Show and maintain a good understanding of breathing, timing and a good position in the water, throughout the 50m.
• Do a plunge dive from pool side and be asked to attempt a dive from the racing blocks
• Do a roly poly or tumble turn
• Push and streamline both on front and back
• Swim under water for 5m
As part of the warm up, we will be asking your child to swim 100m (4 lengths) without stopping. Please note that a normal session for children entering the club will see them swim between 1000m and 1500m.
If joining Saffron Seals is something that you are interested in and are able to make the trials on the 2nd May, please contact Andy (one of the coaches) on [email protected]. He will get back to you with more details for the trial on Sunday morning. If you aren't able to make either date but are interested in joining the waiting list, please also get in touch and we will put you on the list.and get in touch when the next round of trials will take place!
