Planning for our 2019 gala (funded by Tesco Bags of Help) is now underway. The most suitable date would seem to be Saturday, 12th October 2019. Please can you all check your diaries and let me know asap if there are any problems with that date. (Sheila)

Two of our members have had success recently swimming for their other clubs. On May Bank Holiday,  Chris Lanwarne came back with a handful of medals from the Rugby Gala representing the Enterprise Club. William Newton swam in the East Midlands Gala at Braunstone on 12th May for Orion and also collected lotsof medals and pbs. Well done to both swimmers.

Reminder that our next session will be on 26th April.

Happy Easter!

Congratulations to Aidan Tully who has successfully completed his National Plan Stage 5 and to Emily Robbins who has reached 1 Mile in an Adult Swim Challenge.

The pool will be closing at 6.00pm on Good Friday, 19th April and so there will be no club session.

East Midlands Gala 12th May 2019

Attached is pdf with details of a gala at

Braunstone Leisure Centre Leicestershire (LE3 1JN)

Although open to all, the event is all day (9amregistration) and quite expensive, particularly if you do not have a Swim21 ASA membership.

There is no team for this event and so intending competitors need to read all the information very carefully and submit entries by the closing date.
