The Swimming North Coast Development Day was held at Crescent Head on Sunday 7th August. We were very fortunate to have such lovely weather during the Day. The Day was attended by over 40 swimmers from the North Coast Area. Swimmers had the opportunity to receive instruction from our team of coaches and had the ability to utilise some great coaching tools such as; underwater camera’s and touch pads to measure the response time at the wall to enhance the swimmers turns. Peter Clarke from Healthier You in Port Macquarie presented to swimmers and parents the benefits of good nutrition for pre, post and during a meet performance plus an overview of the benefits of a balanced diet and the importance of hydration. Swimmers also enjoyed a dryland session with Crescent Head Coach Mason Marchment and had the opportunity to compete in a mini meet. A fun and productive day was had by all in attendance. It was also great to see that the new formation of the North Coast area has provided families with a location option depending on their availability and geography. Swimming North Coast wishes to thank the members of the Development Committee for arranging the Day and also our generous hosts at Crescent Head pool Mason and Renee Marchment. We also wish to extend our sincere thanks to Pierse Pool Supplies for providing us with the technical equipment and also Noreast drinks for their generous supply of drinks for the day. | |

DEVELOPMENT DAY BALLINA. |
Swimming North Coast has now determined the Area Development Teams. Based on geography with a view to limit the distance travelled, the Area chose to host 2 Development Days. All selected swimmers were invited to attend either Ballina or Crescent Head Development Days.
The Ballina Development Day was held on Sunday 17th July at Ballina Indoor. The Day was hailed an immense success by the swimmers, parents and coaches that were in attendance. A nutrition presentation was held in the morning to present the benefits of a balanced and nutritional diet. We were very fortunate to have Peter Freeny coach our pool session and he provided valuable instruction in the pool. The swimmers especially liked the emphasis that was placed on starts, turns and finishes. There was also a fun dry land boxing circuit session held in the afternoon along with some friendly rivalry in the pool with a mini meet.
Lots of new friendships were formed during the Day from both the swimmers and parents perspectives. Swimming North Coast wishes to thanks Ballina Indoor for hosting such a positive and fun day. See Photos.
