Congratulations to Jarvis Belford who swam 200m for his badge and certificate on 3rd February. 

Congratulations to Aidan Tully and Gurvinder Garcha who completed distance awards on 27th January. Aidan swam 800m and Gurvinder swam 1000m.

Congratulations to Phoebe Tully on swimming 1000m for her certificate and also to Joshua Clarke who has completed his National Plan Stage 1. Well done for claiming the first awards of 2017.

As it was a quiet session on 23rd December, there was an opportunity for swimmers to tackle longer distances with a lane to themselves. Daniel Hodge swam 800m for his badge and certificate and then went on to complete 1000m for his special certificate. Daniel Fulleylove completed his National Plan Stage 3 and then swam 50m for his badge and certificate,  while his older brother Ryan was swimming for his 1Mile badge with William Newton. Congratulations to all four swimmers.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone.

Congratulations to Ahmed Saidani who improved his 10 minute test to 260m despite getting cramp near the end.

Also to Gurvinder Garcha for gaining his 800m badge and certificate.

The pool will be open for our club session on 23rd December, but CLOSED ON 30TH DECEMBER.

Congratulations to Daniel Fulleylove who has completed his National Plan Stage 2.

Ryan Fulleylove and Leanne Gardner both swam 1000m for their certificates. Well done, both of you!

Some swimmers tried their 10 minute stamina test and Daniel Hodge was successful in beating his previous best distance. He has a new best of 249m. Aidan Tully was extremely close.

It is obviously not a good time of year for the small pool gala as there is too much going on. Nathan Peron was the only junior swimmer in the small pool and he has been working well recently. He swam the length of the small pool with Cas for his championship gold medal. Well done, Nathan.

The timing of the club galas (not the Kay Clarke Invitation Gala) is on the agenda for the next committee meeting so if anyone has any thoughts –  let one of the committee know. Maybe February?

 Happy 16th birthday to Gurvinder Garcha and happy 40th birthday to Chris Lanwarne on 13th. Milestones for both of you!
