Huge thanks to everyone who helped out on the stall, donated prizes, or came along and supported us at the Nuneaton Carnival on 12th June 2011. It was the wettest Carnival for 30 years but we still managed to raise just under £75.00, which considering the weather was fantastic.  Photographs and information about the day can be found at http://www.NuneatonCarnival.org. A blog post about our stall can be found at http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/blog/section/our-good-causes/our-amazing-causes/

Many thanks again for your support, it is very much appreciated!

The team finished 2nd overall, behind Cheslyn Hay Otters, beating the other 7 very strong clubs.

Special thanks to Simon Godfrey for all his help.

Well done to everyone!

Well done to Martelle Swinton who swam 25 metres for her badge and certificate on 20th May 2011.

Congratulations to Daniel Hodge and his mum Julie, who are the winners of our Grand National Sweepstake Draw. Many thanks to everyone who entered the competition, we raised a total of £20 for club funds.  Apologies for the delay in posting the result on the website.

The pool will be closed on Friday 22nd April 2011 (Good Friday) and also the following week on 29th April 2011 (due to the Royal Wedding). Therefore there will be no swimming for 2 weeks.  The next club session will be on Friday 6th May 2011 at 6pm.

Happy Easter Everyone!
