			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Essex Swimming and the County Coaches have put a training programme together for the top 8 swimmers in the 14, 15, 16 and 17+ age groups.  This is an ideal opportunity for the 14 year olds and Youth swimmers to train together, motivate and develop their skills.  Selection will be based on the results of the 2013 County Age Group Competition.  Essex has booked Basildon pool in 50m mode for one Sunday every month.  It is a great opportunity for all swimmers to build a more competitive team, remain motivated and train with different coaches and swimmers.</p>
<p>Swimmers will receive an invitation via their home coach and you must reply asap.</p>
<p>If you have any questions, please contact Paul Robbins (Essex Swimming Manager) at <a href="mailto:head.coach@lbrsc.org">head.coach@lbrsc.org</a></p>
