August 18, 2008 EAST FREMANTLE - AUGUST 2008
MEET OUR MANAGERS
Hi there! My name is Luke. I know a lot of you will recognise my face but for those who are new to East Fremantle Swimming School, I am the Operations Manager. When I am not here, weather permitting, you can find me diving or surfing on the WA coast. I have been with State Swim since 2003 so I can help you with all aspects of the State Swim program. If you have any questions about your child's progress, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Hi , I am Andrea Murphy. I am 24 and have been employed at State Swim for 7years this November and am currently the Assistant Operations Manager. I am a qualified Physical Education Teacher specialising in Health and also an AMEB Teacher of Music. I have 5 years experience as Commitee member and Head Coach of Rossmoyne and Districts Swimming Club. Apart from swimming, I love music, fashion and have a new found obsession in Cobra Martial Arts.
Luke or Andrea are here most days either in the pool, on the pool deck or behind the desk, come up and introduce yourself and your children.
BERNIE MULROY, ON COACHING
With Spring around the corner, now is a great time to be considering your child’s swimming requirements for the summer season. Over the past two months we have attempted to provide a slightly higher workload for our training squads, Team Bronze, Team Silver and Team Gold, in an effort to elicit a better physiological response i.e improve their fitness levels. With all the publicity surrounding lack of fitness in our youngsters, we see it as imperative that we challenge the swimmers sufficiently so that they will not only be better athletes but they will also be learning health skills which will stay with them for life.
While training once per week is better than no training, more frequent attendance certainly has greater benefits. Not only is the level of fitness enhanced but the skills will advance more quickly because the more regular practice will reinforce the learning.
For those who are more inclined toward the competitive side of swimming, we are incorporating more specific sets in training to help monitor progress in performance.To maximize the effectiveness of our training Teams, we will be incorporating some new criteria to facilitate movement upward from one squad to another, so that groups wil become more homogenous, thus enabling more appropriate work to be covered at each of the levels. These standards are not yet finalized and we will keep you all informed of progress in this area.
As you are aware each centre has a Head Coach and we encourage parents who need clarification on any aspect of our coaching program, to contact their relevant Head Coach to answer their queries.
Let us all work together to make the summer of 2008/2009 at Stateswim, the best ever.
Regards
Bernie Mulroy
