As of tomorrow, there will be 98 days until the first day of the Counties competition!
Luckily for all you Orion swimmers, the Counties in the West Midlands takes place over three consecutive Saturdays in March - 1st, 8th and 15th. Back when I was a little boy, the Derbyshire Counties took 3 whole weekends, with each day not finishing until 9 or 10pm!
As this is another great opportunity for you all to get lots of race experience (not forgetting in a 50m pool!) myself and Ian have decided you are ALL required to swim in 2 out of the 3 Saturdays, in both sessions (so 4 sessions total). If you want to do all 3 days, even better!
There are usually 2 or 3 races you can enter per session, however I will be sending out a list of recommended swims for each session soon.
I will also be entering as many relay teams as possible! It would be great if we could get 2 teams for each relay race.
So, to try and get the ball rolling, I will have Loz email out a form which I'd hugely appreciate you filling in and returning to me at the first opportunity. This will help the Coaches put together who will be where and when (mainly for relay organisation).
Forgive our stern approach, however it is a plain and simple fact that we need all the Juniors to be getting involved in more races and competitions! Besides, having a large team at these events makes them so much more entertaining for everyone!
If your son/daughter is unable to swim at a minimum of 2 Saturdays, you will be required (as parent or guardian) to provide a suitable reason as to why not. Please be aware this may jeopardise your child's future in the Junior team/s.
Enjoy your weekend!
