Holiday training
There is a squad break this holidays before the summer season begins at the start of term 4. Some coached sessions will still be run at Springwood in the first week. The schedule for this is below. In both weeks swimmers are encouraged to keep doing some swimming where they can using the holiday programs that can be accessed here. This holidays a team of swimmers and parents are travelling with coach Kaz over to Japan in the second trip we have done there. I'm sure this will be an amazing experience!

Monday, Wednesday, Friday: (4-5pm mini squad), (minimum 6 swimmers), (5-6.30pm Bronze, Silver, Performance group session).
No training 2nd week.

Coaching changes
At the start of this month Wendy finished coaching. Wendy has been coaching at Springwood with me since 2005 and with Mountain Swim since 2013. Her children were squad swimmers and she has now decided it's a good time to finish. Good luck and thank you to Wendy for all her coaching!
Also at the end of the winter season Gillian will be finishing coaching. Gillian has been doing amazing with the Mini and Bronze swimmers at Springwood however other work and family time have made it hard for her to continue. Another big good luck and thank you to Gillian and hopefully we will still see her around sometimes!
It's not all coaches leaving news :)
A new coach has now joined the Mountain Swim team. Coach Sarah Finch has joined the team and will be the acting Springwood senior coach at the beginning of summer. Sarah has experience at coaching and learn to swim at two different pools alongside being a swimming program coordinator. She has recently moved to the Mountains and is keen to get to know the swimmers and parents. Through September she will come in and meet the swimmers. Sarah will also be at the Thursday night club nights regularly.
