YORK TRAINING CAMP 2022
Monday 25th July - Friday 29th July

The York training camp will be take place from Monday 25th July till Friday 29th July 2022. The cost of the trip is currently £275.00.

Squads A,B & C will be allowed to attend this camp.

We require a minimum of 20 kids to attend, without the minimum number the trip will not go ahead.

To secure your child’s place I require a deposit of £75.00 this will allows us to book the camp. This payment must be paid directly into the W&M ASC bank account, the reference being your kids name. Deposit to be paid by Friday 27th May 22.

If the trip is cancelled due to COVID or not meeting the minimum numbers then all deposits will be refunded in full. If you cancel after we have booked I am afraid your deposit is non refundable.

The remaining £200.00 is required to be paid In full no later than Friday 15th July 22

Can I ask that you all reply to this post letting me know that your child or children are going. If you can state their name and the date you paid the £75.00 deposit, then again when you pay the balance.

Bank Details: speak to a member of the committee

If anyone has questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks
Tracey Stevenson
Treasurer M&W ASC

Meet entries fees
From today onwards, the way to pay for Meet /Gala fees will be done as we did pre COVID.
Andrea (Head Coach), will take all monies for any entered events. She will also discuss at the time of entering events, the best events for your child.
Any refunds will be done once we have had the accepted swims from the meet organisers.
All fees must paid at the time of entry
Any questions please ask.
Any fees paid so far will be registered and any refunds will be handled by Andrea

To ensure that the Meet Organiser can provide PHS “Contact Tracking” with information on attendees at the Meet, a Meet Registration Card is being introduced.

Full information is available on new page – click here – on the website and participating Clubs have been emailed with full details.

Swimmers, Club Coaching Staff, Technical Officials and Support Volunteers are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to apply for a Registration Card and Coaching Staff are requested to use the Volunteer “SignUp” to pre-register their attendance for “scanning” cross checks.

Alternative methods of Registration will be available on entry to the facility if Registration Card is not available, but this will cause delay and congestion to others at a time of Covid 1m Social Distancing.

Training will resume from tomorrow morning. (Sat 8th Jan)

Training 7.30am to 9.00am

We finish for Christmas on Friday the 17thDecember this will be a usual training session for squads A,B & C members 5.30-6.30 pm (amendment)

We will resume training on the Tuesday the 4th of January .

Training is Cancelled on Saturday morning (27th November)

As a club we have to provide technical officials for the events we attend to allow our swimmers to get accredited swimming times with British Swimming, this also allows them to compete at National events.

We are looking for parents to volunteer as Timekeepers please, if you would like to volunteer, you would attend a virtual class before becoming a Timekeeper, from then, you also have the choice of progressing and becoming a Judge.
We also occasionally do time trials at the Club and sometimes require timekeepers to assist.
Please let the club know by email, or speak to a Coach for more info.

Message to all Parents and guardians of swimmers.

As the country is further opening up can we be reminded that it is important to keep everyone safe, family, friends,swimmers and coaches.
A number of schools in the area have seen a spike in positive Covid tests results amongst its pupils. Can we be very cautious of this and if your child (M&W swimmer)has had a Covid PCR test, please do not bring them to the club. Wait until result of PCR test has been confirmed positive or negative.
If they test negative I ask that you still wait 48 hrs before bringing swimmer back to training incase symptoms manifest.
If they test positive please follow guidelines as directed by NHS before bringing swimmer back to training.
As CPWO and Covid Officer if you could DM myself, I can inform coaches. It also helps keep our records up to date.

I appreciate that the Government / local council / and Scottish swimming guidelines are not the most easy to make sense if. But our aim is to keep everyone safe and prevent a lockdown of the club.

Thanks in advance

Gary

Please Note:
as from Monday 16th August, parents will be allowed back on the viewing balcony and no Covid officers are now required but everyone entering the building must still wear masks and swimmers must still come pool ready,
Thanks Andrea

Back to training

We have been given the ok to resume training on the 26th April in line with government guidance and also from Scottish Swimming!! This is amazing news for our athletes as I know they will have missed this so much!! Training and poolside practice willl remain as it was prior to this lockdown until we get any more updates!! If you have any questions or queries please get in touch with one of the committee (myself included in that)! Hopefully this will happen and nothing gets in the way of it, keep your fingers crossed.

 Could I ask all athletes, coaches and covid officers to complete this form prior to returning to training which we are hoping to be the 26th April in line with Government guidance. Please note the questions are now on a 10 day basis so if you could complete them on or after the 16th that would be great!
