       Notes:

       1.   The hours above are those available at 1st September 2007 and may change during the season.

       2.   Squad allocation as illustrated above across the hours available is indicative and may change
            dependent on size of respective squads.

       3.   Based on ability and commitment to training in previous season, the Coach will advise swimmers
            of their particular squad and training hours early in September. It is essential that swimmers attend
            the requisite number of hours for their particular squad or risk forfeiting their place on that squad.

       4.   Swimmers over sixteen years of age in the coming season who did not swim at National Age
            Groups in 2007 or who have not yet attained the minimum level of Division 2 National Age Group
            standard will train with the Masters section until such time as they achieve the minimum standard.

       5.   The Coaching Team will move swimmers between squads as appropriate during the year in order
            to maximise potential of the individual swimmer. Attendance and application to training will be a
            consideration as will attendance at the requisite galas that will be agreed when swim calendar is
            agreed.

       6.   All swimmers registered with ESB Swimming Club are expected to make every effort to represent
            the club at selected swimming galas appropriate to their age group and standard. These galas will
            be posted on the notice board early in the season with the major emphasis being on Leinster Open
            Championship, Leinster Age Groups, National Age Groups Division 1 & 2 and National
            Championships Long Course and Short Course. It is suggested that holidays be arranged
            accordingly so as to avoid disappointment when the season culminates with the National galas.

       7.   Swimmers are expected to attend scheduled training sessions in the lead up to major galas to
            ensure they have tapered properly in order to allow them compete at their best and to minimise the
            risk of incurring injury.
