- Olympic Training Camp 20227 July 2022Posted by scott.walker2230@outlook.comOlympic Training Camp – December 28th & 29th 2022
This year the Association have decided that the Olympic Training weekend day will take place on December 29th and 30th, 2022 at Dover Leisure Centre. Each day, swimmers will have two land training sessions and two pool training sessions. David Hemmings, who is National Centre Coach at the British Swimming Performance Centre in Loughborough and he has coached swimmers to world and European titles in recent years, including Abbie Wood, Molly Renshaw and James Wilby. He was part of British Swimming's poolside team at the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo and will be part of the England coaching team at the Birmingham Commonwealth games.
Swimmers will be selected to take part on the following basis:
The Top 5 swimmers in each individual age group- 9, 10, 11,12,13,14, 15+ 70 swimmers in total, which will be determined by the Bagcat results as set out in Championship Conditions namely:
Best 50m
Best 100m
Best 200m Form stroke (back, breast, fly)
Best freestyle from 200m, 400m, 800m or 1500m.
Best Individual Medley from 100m, 200m or 400m
(9 & 10 year swimmers will not take part in some of these events so will count only those they can enter.)
Swimmers need to enter at least one event from each category in order to maximise their chances of receiving an invitation. The invitations will be given to swimmers at the last session of the championships. - East Invicta Galas28 June 2022Posted by scott.walker2230@outlook.comBoth the Development gala and the Championships will be at Dover this year. Full details for both events are on the website. Entries are made by your clubs on your behalf so please contact your club Competition/Gala Secretary.
We are unable to use Hartsdown as the pool is still out of commission following storm damage earlier this year. As the start end of Kingsmead is 95cms and Swim England are reviewing safe diving depths, your Association decided to have all competition at Dover for the time being.
I would also remind all swimmers that invitation to Olympic Training is by way of the cumulative total of BAGCAT points attained at the Championships. The top 5 swimmers in each age group will be guaranteed an invite. At the time of writing the host athletes have not yet been confirmed.
Kind regards
Scott Walker - East Invicta Championships 2021 - Sunday December 19th.16 December 2021Posted by scott.walker2230@outlook.comAfter what has seemed like an eternity, it is so good to be back to competitive swimming and, more importantly, to get together the East Invicta family in what I think we should see as a celebration of the dedication of the swimmers, coaches, volunteers and parents that all give up their time for a sport that we all enjoy so much. Whilst it is a shame it is such a truncated meet this year, we felt that it was important to reestablish the championships so that, with a bit of luck and a following wind, next year will be able to run our full programme.
I would like to thank everyone involved with East Invicta ASA in continuing with the work of maintaining the Association; without them, these championships, and those of future years, would not be able to happen. In recognition of the need to support our enviroinment we have decided to run a paperless gala this year.
So it just leaves me to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and Happy and Prosperous New Year, I hope that you enjoy this year's event.
Ian Howes
President

Agenda
1. Format of Training sessions
2. Timetable for new sessions
3. Training squads - how can we get swimmers training with each other on a regular basis – for example All clubs should make space e.g. Top squad (regional or above) could train 2 days per week at Canterbury,2 days at Dover (because we both have pool space) one day at Folkestone/Hythe. Other squads have similar cycles. How/who would coordinate. Is the time right to start thinking about how we can finance a Technical Director?
4. Regional Competition and relay selection
5. Other competition – Calais May 3rd / 4th for Age Group swimmers?
6. Development squad qualification – Are we happy with current cut offs?
