Your Swimming log book has been put together by the club to provide all the swimmers who compete for the club or those that we hope soon will compete, with all the information they will need about training and competition.

Completing the log book is vital if you are to develop as a swimmer; not only must we provide you with a log book to meet the ASA Swim 21 Accreditation but it is also a great way for each of you to see what you achieve every time you come swimming or take part in a competition. Filling in the log book also allows the coaches to set goals for you and conduct reviews to make sure you are achieving your best.

Pages from the logbook that are available to download are listed below;

Your Log book is important!

Although it may seem boring and a chore, it is:

• Essential to plan properly, otherwise you are unlikely to meet any of your goals
• Motivating to look back and see your progress and development; it will remind you how hard you’ve worked
• Valuable, because you are constantly reminded of your goals which helps to focus your training
• Informative because it shows your long term development and you can see patterns in training behaviour and what is working well or not so well
• Helpful in getting you fit again if you get injured
• Good for your coach who can see your individual progression, explain dips in development and will know how you’re feeling

NOTE: The coaches will ask to see your Log Books, so please keep them up to date.

Pace Target Calculator

At the bottom of the Swim Board are boxes for the swimmers to fill in their PB times and their Pace Targets. If maths is not their strong point we have provided a simple excel spreadsheet that will do the maths for them!

You simply enter the personal best times in the blue boxes at the top and the pace targets will be automatically calculated in the yellow boxes below ready to be copied onto the board.
