2022 SMNE Summer Championships

Congratulations to the team of 23 Ravenswood Swimming Club members who competed at the SMNE Summer Championships at SOPAC on 5&6 Jan. This meet was the first targeted meet for the 21/22 season and the first returning after COVID Lockdown. Some of our members showed off the new uniform and they were looking fresh!!

The championships were split into two sessions each day with the 13/O swimmers in the morning and the 12/U swimmers in the afternoon.

The meet did not have the usual number of competitors which meant the time between races was dramatically reduced and swimmers were racing roughly every 10-20 minutes. The coaching team assessed it as an intense training session with great head to head racing opportunities.

Many swimmers were displaying nerves about getting out and racing but once they had completed their first couple of events, all the nerves went.

This meet was the first for Coach Cam with Ravenswood and he was very pleased with the efforts and performances of all members.

Videoing the races provided the swimmers instant feedback on the look of their race and have highlighted a list of racing and fitness elements to address in training to be even better the next time we race.
