Dear Parents of TC Junior Swim Team
The Trinity Swim Team would like to extend an invitation to your son to attend a number of events over the next few months, in preparation for the 2020 JSSA Inters (and PSA Inters for those moving in to Yr 7).
The coaching staff and management of the swim team are making a concerted effort to increase opportunities for Junior School swimmers to participate in team events and to incorporate into the broader structure of the swim team. Swimming is one of the few activities that can present an integrated, ‘whole of school’, programme for the boys to experience. As such, we would like to begin the process of creating a ‘one team’ outlook to the programme, which allows the boys to seamlessly transition from year to year, junior to senior school etc.
To kick the process off, we would like to invite your son to join us at any of the following events;
I’ll anticipate a few questions and try to answer.
Trinity is a busy place. Do I have to be involved? No. There is no expectation that you join, but it’s better to know and choose not to join, than want to join and not know-how.
Are the JS boys looked after? Yes, the team coaches will always look out for the junior boys and a senior swimmer will be assigned as a mentor.
My son already swims with a club. Can he still be involved? The TC swim team is open to all TC swimmers. You are not obliged to move clubs to participate in any of the team activities. Our club of choice is Western Sprint and we’d love to have everyone swimming together, but there is no requirement.
Can non-TC friends and siblings join the Talent ID Day? Yes. Same process but they will need to pay their $20 and be in Yr 4-6.
My son is already in after school squads/Western Sprint, are these events extra? Yes, but optional. We’re all busy and there’s no pressure to prioritise this above anything else. However, the offer is there for the boys if they want it.
Any other questions, please email me at SwimSchool@trinity.wa.edu.au
Hope to see the boys on Friday &/or Sunday.
Dion Mepham
Head Swim Coach
