August 2017 English Nationals

Well done to you Jenni on an already amazing season she capped it off with a great 50m fc swim this morning at her first English Nationals.

It was a big step up in the class of swimmers but Jenni's performance was fantastic, even though there were understandably some nerves Jenni managed to improve on her placing with a time of 28.81.  
Thank you to all Jenni's family who came to support her and a big thank you also to Courtney who came and cheered Jenni on.
​
What a great end to the season.

2-5 August 2018 English Nationals 

Bringing a great season to an end, Jenni had again qualified for the English Nationals, this year qualifying for three swims : 50m free, 50m backstroke and the 100m free. 


The confidence that Jenni had grew over the week Qualifying for finals in both 50m free and 50m backstroke, she finished a very close 4th in the front crawl, just 0.04 sec behind first with a 27.35 a new pb, and 7th in the backstroke with another pb of 31.48.  Jenni just missed out on her pb and another final in the 100m free.

British Championship 18-21 April

Lincoln Trident had their first swimmer attend the British Championships in Glasgow. Jenni qualified for the 50m frontcrawl and was swimming in the juniors. It was fantastic for Jenni to be mixing with some of the biggest names in British swimming such as James Guy, Freya Anderson, Hannah Miley, James Wilby, Duncan Scott and Adam Peaty to name just a few.

Jenni was very relaxed going into her race and it showed in her racing. Straight from the start she took control of her race and showed great speed through the water and finished well.

Jenni's Coach Ben said " Today was all about getting the experience at this level and Jenni certainly got that. I was really pleased with her swim in general but the start and finish which we've worked hard to improve they were brilliant."

Back home everyone from the club, her friends and family were watching Jenni's race and sending best wishes. The support was amazing.

Age group Midlands 28 April

A massive well done Becky and Mia who swam at their first Midlands today at Corby. Both girls swam the 50m frontcrawl. After some nerves before the race, they soon went and both girls performed excellent. All the hard work in training paid off. Mia got a PB with 31.64 and Becky slightly off with 31.7, both swims were fantastic. 
Both should be very proud of themselves and their achievements. Well done.

 Age Group and Junior Midlands

​What a great age group and junior Midlands Tridents had. In the age group we had Becky and Mia competing in the 50m front crawl this was their first Midlands. Both girls were understandably nervous, but produced fantastic swims with Mia getting a PB. There was only .06 between them.
Jenni was competing in the junior Midlands and had her most successful Midlands so far. She qualified for the finals in all of her 7 swims and had 9 PBs (including the finals). She got 2 gold medals in the 100 and 200 backstroke and 2 silvers in the 50 and 100 front crawl.
In numbers from age groups and junior Midlands.
3 swimmers
9 swims 
7 finals 77.7% success rate
10 PBs out of 16 swims (including finals) 62% success rate
Well done for these great results.

​No Frills Open Meet

Well done to Jacob (9) who has competed in his 1st Long Course competition at Sheffield No Frills. He had the 50m front crawl and 50m Back stroke where he PB'd in both swims and has qualified for the 10/11 year old county time in the 50m FC. 
Well done.

​ Our 1st Junior League

Tonight was Lincoln Trident's first Junior League and what a great performance it was! We had 13 rookies that's over half that hadn't competed previously. The confidence and technical side was fantastic. The team supported each other from start to finish.


The competition was tough, as would be expected the other teams entered their top swimmers (many of which were County level swimmers), but that didn't faze our swimmers.


We fought to the end and never quit, the swimmers all went out and focused on their swims. We had some top 3 finishes and 1 new county time for Ewan on the 50m fly They have done themselves, their families and the Club so proud.


I would like to say thank you to Suzy, Michelle, James and Coral and Hayva the Junior League Captain for being there to support and organise the swimmers, the parents for bringing and supporting the swimmers and the swimmers who were fantastic. Thank you all.

Short Course Midlands
Over the weekend 6th and 7th November, we had 3 swimmers taking part in the Short Sourse Regional Championships - they were Chloe (50/100 fly and 50 back) Becky (50 fc) and Hayva (50/100fc), for the latter 2 it was their first SC Regionals. Well done to you all.
Hayva was the first one up on Saturday with the 100 fc where she injured her knee on the start. After a strong first 50 on target, the effect of the knee injury reduced power off the wall and in the kick, so the second 50 was off the pace. Although she finished the race, unfortunately Hayva had to pull out of the Sunday 50 fc event. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Chloe was up next on Saturday with the 50 fly where her skills looked very good and the work she has put into developing her stroke since coming back in September showed with a smooth flowing swim. Although not a PB, Chloe maintained the new stroke and rhythm well throughout the swim tested under race pressure.
On Sunday Chloe swam the 100 fly and 50 backstroke. Again both swims were of good consistent stroke and rhythm. The 100 fly was the fastest Chloe has swum it this year and the 50 back was within this year’s range of times.
In the afternoon Becky swam her 50 fc, which was a confident and technically very good swim, finishing just outside of her PB.
Although we didn’t have any PBs this time, from a Coach’s perspective everything we have worked on since we’ve been back (which is only 8 weeks) was on display from starts to finishes and everything in between.
We cannot expect to PB every time we swim, there are often numerous reasons and factors that can influence and affect swimmers both before and during the race that can help or hinder their swim. There were many positives from this weekend’s races to build on going forwards, so swimmers should not be disheartened if they do not PB, just reflect and take that knowledge and experience forward with you to your next training session.
It was a fantastic achievement and great experience for all 3 swimmers to qualify and participate in the Championships. This was the first major competition of the season and from what I’ve seen there’s plenty to come!
Thank you to Michelle, James, Emma and Caroline who took the sessions on Friday evening and Sunday morning, without them the sessions wouldn’t have gone ahead
