  4. The “ABCs” of Hembstead

  5. Workout Structure • 15 minutes of dryland (wear sneakers!!) • Simple exercises focusing on swim specific movements • 30 - 45 minutes swim training • Technique focus • Race specific • Proper diving

  6. Meet Overview • Division 1 is highly competitive • Teams are large • Meets are long • We will run our team and meets the fun Hembstead way • Strokes will be judged more strictly than D II • Relays and individual events will be entered to maximize potential points and stroke proficiency • All-Star Meet is officiated by seasoned year-round officials who call a tight meet

  7. “Coach Talk” • What events my child(ren) swim? • Events will be based on stroke proficiency and scoring potential • Can my child “swim up?” • Swimmers may only swim up an age group if the coach elects to swim them up for the whole season, including the All-Star meet. • Swimmers may only swim up in relays if there are not enough swimmers in the next age group to form a relay • Can shrimps swim a meet if they cannot complete a lap unassisted? • Shrimps must be able to swim a lap unassisted by the first league meet to swim in the meet (Division I rule) • Those who are not able may continue to swim in practices and will be entered in a meet when they can swim a lap on their own • There will be no helpers in the water during league meets • Goal – every shrimp in a meet by season end

  8. “Coach Talk” • Who swims on relays? • The fastest 4 available swimmers are on the A relay • The next fastest 4 available swimmers are on the B relay • No kickboards for backstroke finishes • We will not be utilizing kick boards for backstroke finishes for any age group • It causes DQs • It is impossible to time while holding a kickboard in the water • It does not allow for proper backstroke finishes • Who makes the All-Star Team? • The two fastest available swimmers for an event will be on the All-Star team • Alternates will also be selected and will be expected to attend, if available • Attitude and effort trump speed and skill
