2021 Interschool Swim Team

Trinity College PSA Inters Team 2021

The Inters team is now posted. Final Trinity TeamList

Congratulations to those who have been named in the team (either swimmer or reserve).

We are looking forward to a great competition, albeit with a little less atmosphere than we are used to. We are also very proud of your training and competitive efforts this year , with training attendance up significantly on 2020.

Omissions, errors and oddities- Please can you all check for your name, correct age group and the make sure the swims you have are expected. If there are any issues PLEASE CONTACT US LONG BEFORE THURSDAY. We had a few issues at Quads that could have been resolved with prior communication.

Swimming out of Age- There are a few boys who, by virtue of their birthday or for team balance, are swimming with another age group. Those boys are highlighted in YELLOW. Please check to make sure that you are not in another age group before assuming omission.

Role of reserves- If you have been selected as a reserve, the role can be difficult, but you have a really important function to fulfill. Not only will you be recognised for your hard work and dedication to TC swimming by attending the team lunch, but you will also be preparing with the team in case there is a late withdrawal requiring you to swim. If you are not required to swim, you will need to help keep your teammates motivated during the night, by cheering and encouraging, all the while fueling your own desire for a starting berth in 2022.

Bring on the TC onslaught!
