Ajax Aquatic Club Weekly Training Schedule and Information - 2016-2017 Hello everyone, This the outline for the NEW AJAXAQUATICCLUBElite/Gold groups.

1 Ajax Aquatic Club Weekly Training Schedule and Information Hello everyone, This the outline for the NEW AJAXAQUATICCLUBElite/Gold groups. At this time we are waiting for commitments from many possible returning swimmers to make some final decisions. We would like to secure TPASpool time for at least the long course season if not the short course if possible. Andrew Miller, will implement the dry land workouts necessary to suit the needs of each of your athletes. Coach Andrew has recently completed his diploma in Health and Fitness at Durham, he is highly trained in this area of fitness. Andrew has been with the Ajax club since Over these years he was trained and mentored under the direction of our previous head coach. He has been coaching since 2009 and full time coaching since Andrew is highly motivated and very aware of the high standards required at this level in both the pool and dry land areas and in this club as a whole. Coach Andrew will work specifically with the Elite group of swimmers in the pool and dry land sessions to ensure this group of swimmers will receive the attention during each workout as required at this level. He will work under the constant direction of Gold coach Tom and I and he will follow the previous proven Ajax template for Elite swimmers, this template has proven successover and over. Coach Andrew will implement these sets and make available the tools necessary for these athletes to continue their successesat their level and also maintain the discipline necessary to make this happen. Most recently our club purchased an underwater camera and tv. This will be used for the underwater stroke analysis and technical corrections. Eachathlete will receive one on one feedback in this area on a regular basis. We are excited about the new club and it's potential.

2 Coach Tom and I managed to start a BRAND NEW AJAX AQUATIC CLUB very quickly. This is mostly due to the fact that Swim Ontario knows that we are experienced long time respected coaches who obviously love what we do and know how to do it. We did this with only the remaining membership and their constant support and we are grateful. We are very confident moving forward that our new Ajax Aquatic Club can be highly successful too! Our most recent successes being 4th at CR Long Course, out of 31 Regional clubs and most recently 11th at Festivals out of 57 clubs. These are amazing results considering we lost approximately 40 swimmers last November. We know Ajax is on track again...it just takes time and patience and this was a really tough season for all of us. It's our wish that many former swimmers will return home and swim together once again. We know as coaches that much of the training that is done at this level needs to be intrinsic to each athlete. But, we also know that the extrinsic motivation of their team mates training together again will create an awesome training atmosphere for everyone including the coaches. Here is the bottom line..if you are going to make another move, why not make this move back to your home pool and swim with your fellow swimmers once again. As your coaching staff, we will do our best accommodate all of your swimmers to the best of our abilities and hope to see you again soon. Thank you, Your coaching staff Coach Tom/Cathy/Andrew
