Short Course Season Results – Individual Competitions

Throughout the season swimmers competed in individual events at various swim meets with regular personal best times being swum. The number of swimmers attending these meets however was disappointing. It seems many swimmers are reluctant to have a go at these meets through fear of failure. It is important to know that failure is only related to lack of effort, therefore, by having a go you can never fail.

I encourage all swimmers to check our competition calender and become more active in the club. As a general guideline you should aim to enter in the number of competitions to equal your age each year. I.e. A ten year old should aim to enter ten competitions per year (this does not include team relay competitions such as interclubs and aggregates). Your rate of improvement is directly related to how often you train and how often you compete.

State Short Course 2004

Congratulations to James and David Cowan-Clark. Collingwood’s representatives at the Victorian State Short Course Championships. Both swam in the 50m Freestyle, David finishing in 51st and James 63rd.

The number of Collingwood swimmers at these championships was low compared to five last year. Once again I reiterate: frequency of training and regularity of competition is all it takes to make State level.

At the 2004 Long Course Victorian Championships we also only had two representatives from Collingwood. As a group, lets aim to increase the number of Collingwood swimmers competing at Victorian Championships.
