Squad Log Book

Introduction - How to use your log book

Your log book is for you to record your swimming training and competition information.

At the beginning is a page called about Me to record information about yourself.
Then a chart to write down your height and weight each month and add other relevant notes.

The goal setting pages are for making notes of what you, as a swimmer want to achieve in the year head.
For example you would write down the time & distance you would like to achieve at the next gala, or if you
would like to improve your Butterfly technique. In the mid term, maybe you would like to win a medal at an Open Meet, and in the long term perhaps you would like to achieve a County Qualifying time and swim at the County Championships.

The next few pages are for you to record your personal best times and for you to update them when you swim a faster time at a gala or competition.
The competition results pages are for you to record your ratings and comments about your swims i.e. how you felt, what you did well, what you ate and drank before the competition (chips or pasta? sports drink or coke?). This is very useful as it can sometimes explain why you swam so well or why it wasn’t as you’d hoped.

The training sessions pages can be filled in after each training session and you need to rate the session, write down what you did well and what you want to improve at the next session and any other comments i.e. I felt good about my swimming today; I have a cold; I played in a football match after school.
