BRAMCOTE WIN TROPHY GALA
Mansfield SC Mary Davies B Grade Invitational
Sat, 10 July
Congratulations to all swimmers involved on Saturday - it was a great team effort because some of our faster swimmers received 'speeding tickets' and therefore no gala points (although their times are still valid for PB purposes). This meant that the swims of the rest of the team became even more important.
The team was a mixture of A & B squad swimmers but the B squad swimmers played a massive part in winning the gala. However, one of them, Amy Taylor (11), was so fast she also received a speeding ticket after storming home in 1st place in the 12/U 50 Fly in a 7 sec PB time of 40.88
Two other B squadders, Eleanor Wilkinson & Olivia Dadge, swam great races to finish 2nd with Eleanor picking up a 1 sec PB in the 50 Back with 43.72
Another highlight was winning 6 out of the 8 relays and coming 2nd in the other 2. And no DQ's in any race!!
All swims are on the database, including all the 25m Free Relay swims
RESULT: 1 BRAMCOTE 155, 2 Leander 146, 3 Kimberley 142, 4 Eckington 123,
5 Mansfield 117, 6 Sutton 112.

B SQUAD LANDTRAINING
Due to the new session time for the competitive B Squad on sundays the B squad will now be unable to make the land training session from 7.30-8.45pm that many of B squad have been attending.
Therefore there will now be two landtraining sessions on sunday evenings:
B squad - 7.00-7.30
A squad 7.30-8.15
There has been an excellent turn out at land training the past few months so the extra land session will also provide the opportunity for more swimmers to take part.
Both sessions will be taken by our landwork coach, Sara Davies.
As always simply meet Sara in the foyer to Bramcote Leisure Centre before the start of the session.
Make sure you bring a drink and appropriate clothing and footwear (proper trainers, shorts or tracksuit bottoms)
Landwork is a very important part of training and those swimmers that have regularly attended land training have shown big improvements in their fitness, flexibility and core strength so it is a great opportunity to improve your swimming.

Changes to Squad Times
As of Sunday 4th July the top competitive B squad lanes, coached by Michelle, will swap water time with Dianne's A squad.
The new times for each squad on sundays are therefore:
B squad - 7.45 - 8.30
A squad - 8.30-9.30
This is to:
- ensure all sub-squads in each squad train together to create a squad ethos
- the head coach of each squad can oversee all their sub-squads at the same time to gain a better overall assessment of their whole squad and will help with squad movements when necessary.
Any questions please see your lane coach or myself.

C SQUAD
As you may be are aware Graham Bradley has sadly left Bramcote Swimming Club. Graham was an excellent coach who provided quality coaching for many years for Bramcote Swimming Club and his position has been difficult to fill and we thank you for your patience during this difficult time.
We are pleased to announce we have recently appointed two new C squad coaches - Ashleigh Scott and Kirsty Buchanan.
More details will be placed on the blog shortly introducing these new coaches to you so keep an eye out for this in the near future.
Kirsty will also be Head of C squad, overseeing the whole of the C squad and reporting to the head coach.
Bramcote have also taken the decision to incorporate D squad into C squad. This will allow the old D squad swimmers to feel more intergated into the club rather than swimming at isolated times away from the rest of the club.
Due to this we will be assessing the whole of the C squad over the next few sessions starting on Sunday 4th July in order to allow us to intergate the D squad and ensure all swimmers are placed in the correct ability lanes. Squad movements are carried out every 3 months and the C squad assessment is also in line with our timeline for squad movements.
The criteria for each lane of C squad will be on the blog and notice board shortly.
Thank you again for your patience and I hope all members of C squad will welcome the chance for D squad to become a more intergal part of the club.

NEW HEAD COACH
As you may be aware I am stepping down from my role as Head Coach from Bramcote Swimming Club soon due to a promotion at work. The promotion has meant an increased workload which unfortunately I feel will take too much of my time away from my role at Bramcote and so the role of Head Coach will be handed over to Mick Howard. Mick is a very experienced Level 2 coach who has taken Belper Marlins to great success and I am confident Bramcote S.C will be in excellent hands and will benefit from Mick's knowledge.
Mick will take over officially as of september 1st and will be attending the majority of sessions leading up to the 1st september during the transition phase. I will still continue to coach a small number of sessions after september 1st and so I am not leaving the club completely.
Keep an eye out on the blog in the near future for more information about Mick and i'm sure everyone will give him a warm Bramcote welcome if you see him on poolside.
