2024/25
The competitive programme for Warley WASPS is currently dissolved. The teaching for Millennium WASPS will now fall in-line and follow specific aspects of the competitive programme set for Chase Swimming Club.
The strokes for the WASPS will follow the strokes set in the below programme which has been produced and currently being implemented for Halesowen Swimming Club.
For those familiar with the programme, it has produced and taken swimmers from Learn to Swim through to British Nationals...it has run for nearly 15 years and has catered for everyone from Stage 1 through to the top level of swimming in the UK. It is a proven system of work and had approval from the late Fred Furniss.
For those that are currently at Halesowen, the programme was started from scratch some 14 years ago, with a view to eventually producing National swimmers. This happened within the 9/10th year of the programme, after starting from literally nothing.
This programme will continue to develop the current and future swimmers from the Halesowen programme, with the continued view to producing more and maintaining the National swimmers already within the the clubs programme.
The programme is openly accessable to all swimmers and parents via Swim Manager, on here, and a paper copy will always be in my Competition Folder on poolside.
The programme will follow the strokes in the following order throughout the Cycles:
-
Butterfly
-
Backstroke
-
Breaststroke
-
Frontcrawl
-
Individual Medley
This is then repeated for the entire years programme.
Planning is the key to a successful programme, being open to change and not being afraid to change until a successful path is found. The programme will continue to evolve and I have confidence the programme will continue to be successful!
