I am extremely proud to announce that Imogen Viney and Ruby Couzens have been succesful in their trial at City of Birmingham and have been selected to join the squad at the end of the month!
Their first trial session went well, but was certainly a huge challenge. After the warm up, they had 20x50 max kick which they both kept up on despite being the 2 youngest in the pool. By the end of session I think they had done nearly 2000m kick!
They were then invited back for a second trial on the Friday, which unfortunately I couldn't attend. They had continued to impress however and were offered the place at the end of that session.
They were noted for having some of the best land training technique too, which was very good to see.
Of the 24 (I think) swimmers in the CoB Junior Squad, 5 are now Orion swimmers. This is a huge acheivement for the relatively small club that we are, and true testament to the quality of teaching available to all of the younger swimmers.
Hopefully this will serve as some inspiration and motivation to all you other swimmers. CoB is not some distant, unacheivable 'super team'. Hard work, focus and consistency can make anything possible.
