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!

PSA Interschool Swimming Carnival

IMG_6867

The Interschool Swimming Carnival is to be held Thursday 11th March at HBF Stadium.  All team members will finish school at lunchtime and will remain at school for a team lunch and warm-up. Please click on the following pdf link for more details;

Teresa Leone will be looking for parent helpers to make a salad and/or assist with serving and cleaning up after the lunch. More details will follow next week.

Great effort at Quads!

Great swimming last night everyone.

Quads is always a very difficult one to manage, as many people are on camp, injured, at sport training etc, so the changes are many and often illogical. Thanks for your co-operation and patience. As you know, we have no interest in the overall result, only the performance of the swimmers we ask to do certain jobs on the night.

It was fantastic to see every boy who attended (I hope) get a swim, however, there were a couple of boys left out inadvertently and I apoloigise. Once again, please see us if you feel that something is off in a team selection. Often I will come back to you with a ‘yes that’s correct, I want to check team balance’ or similar, but sometimes we just miss your name in a long list of swimmers and you bringing it to our attention alerts us to our error.

The coaches were very proud of your behaviour, your enthusiasm and your intensity last night and there were 75 MORE pb’s last night than at last year’s Quads.

Please note- It’s important to us that we provide you with timely feedback, but understand that official results aren’t in yet, but this TOP 100 has been taken from the video feed and scoreboard (there may be some changes to times after official results are in).

I urge you ALL to go back to the video stream of your races https://bit.ly/3azgU4h
and learn something from viewing yourself (start, breathing pattern, length of stroke etc) and lets put that process into place for Inters.

Please be aware that Penrhos meet is our last selection event for Inters.

If you lost a mobile phone or pair of shorts at Quads, please see Mr Gage in A114.
