Thank you to everyone who has completed their renewals, unfortunately we have a few still outstanding. Membership renewals are being submitted to Swim England on Monday 13th February. If payment has not been made and the renewal form not completed before then, swimmers will no longer be insured so will be unable to swim with Club.
This applies to Mini Marlins, Development Group and all squads. Any questions please contact memberships@chorleymarlins.org.uk or treasurer@chorleymarlins.org.uk Thank you Chorley Marlins ASC British Swimming’s catalogue of aquatics learning resources have a new home, with coaches, teachers, parents and swimmers invited to join the refreshed Speedo Off the Blocks platform for continued access to archived content and new uploads.
Since its launch in 2016, Off the Blocks has provided a growing online hub of information designed by experts for the benefit of those that work at every level of the sport in Great Britain - amassing 281 videos and 206 documents on the platform to date. More than 12,000 users had registered to the previous microsite to access fundamental technique information and explore resources linked to landmark projects including the Optimal Athlete Development Framework (OADF) and Physical Development Programme. The objective of the platform remains the same - to help upskill the teachers and coaches of the next generation of swimmers, and provide an educational destination for parents and athletes. A refreshed layout and design has been implemented to improve accessibility and navigation allowing users to easily explore the growing range of tailored materials. Speedo Off the Blocks remains FREE to the aquatics community in Britain, however all previous users will be required to follow the registration process at https://offtheblocks.info/ and create a new login to continue accessing the new site. The online resources cover technique and include video examples of elite male and female swimmers, plus age group Male & Female exemplars, as well as downloadable factsheets. It also covers land training, nutrition and guidance for parents on how to support their child. Entries will close on 11th February for Burnley Bobcats Racing for Regionals 2022 to be held on 4th and 5th March 2022 at Darwen Leisure Centre.
