TEAM TSC Training like Olympians !!

440 DAYS to GO to Beijing - What about Training this week - What a great week it was!! There's been a lot of really good stuff in training this week. I actually think the Olympic ATTITUDE we want in training showed it's face on Wednesday.

Ian Thom swam two season's best times and equalled his PB's in Training with a 55.3 100FC and a 1:01.32 100BC. Niamh Bergin swam a PB in training with a 1:04.3 and a 1:04.1 100FC and her PB before now was a 1:05. Niamh Murphy & John Martin swam 1:04's and Dylan Farrell went 1:00.7 and 1:00.6 for his 100's Free. Shane Faul too swam Training PB's on the timed 100's as did Aoife Newe.

The other swimmers there swam equal to PB or very close to Training PB in the session. This is what it takes and to think that the majority of our senior Athletes are capable of getting to that level in Training fills me with confidence that we really are stepping it up. We also had a shock appearance of Collie Kelly on the poolside to say hello on Wednesday AM.

I'm just back from the NAC where the 1A's swam another quality session. One disappointment was that only 5 swimmers were there and I know we have more people who could be there. COME on TEAM get that Olympic ATTITUDE of your TEAM MATES and lets get the best out of Training EVERY SESSION.

This is a FANTASTIC TEAM - Each and Every one of YOU has the capability for PB swims and ongoing improvement in TRAINING. Think TECHNIQUE, TECHNIQUE, TECHNIQUE as it's the KEY to success. Our Sport is ALL about Technique. You've gotta concentrate in training EVERY day about technique. TRAIN smart, TRAIN technique, RACE fast and RACE TECHNIQUE every day.

Well done to ALL of the TEAM TSC swimmers who are training like OLYMPIANS - Quality TEAM guys. Well done!!! Maybe some of you will be heading to LONDON in 2012 if training keeps getting better like this.
