The decision by the Coaching Staff is Final

 

 

Accelerated Performance Programme

In certain, rare, circumstances, swimmers may be identified by the coaching team to be fast tracked through the squads. This is the call of the coaching team with the final decision coming from the head coach. The fast tracking of these swimmers is to ensure that they are in the correct squad for their stage of development, without compromising skill acquisition.

Teams/Programmes/Camps

Any swimmer selected for any team, programme or camp outside of LSC must be discussed and reviewed with the squad coach and/or the head coach.

Exams

During important school exam periods, training should be discussed with the squad coach. It is important to maintain a level of training/fitness throughout. Sessions will be worked around the exam timetable.

Squad Moves

Squad moves are usually (but not always) done at the end of teach term. Moves are made at the discretion of the coaching team.

Any squad move decision made by the coaching team is final.
