Wey Valley Swimming Club

Swimming is included in the P&G Surrey Youth Games in order to increase participation in the sport at the competitive skill development level. The timing of the Games provides a goal for the younger less experienced swimmer to aim towards (top competitive swimmers being involved in the cycle of regional and national competitions which take place at this time). The level of competition will be aimed at younger swimmers just starting out on their competitive career in a club or at school.

If you live or are at school in the Guildford borough, are in school year 5, 6 or 7 (born: 01/09/99 - 31/08/02) and would like to swim for Guildford in the 2012 Surrey Youth Games on Sunday 17th June, then email Chris Michael now with your name, date of birth and school.

Squad swimmers are coached to attain as high a standard as possible and are encouraged to represent the club in competitive galas. Internal events including Time Trials and Club Championships, are also held throughout the year and all swimmers are encouraged to participate in these friendly events. Our annual Fun Splash and BBQ is the main social event of the year but other social activities, such as quiz nights, are also organised. Wey Valley members receive information about the club via notices on our boards at Godalming, on our web site and by emails.

It is our aim that all swimmers will develop their skills while benefiting from the facilities and enjoying the friendship offered by the club.

The club is affiliated to the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) as part of the South East Region (SER). This is one of eight regions of the ASA, the English national governing body for swimming, diving, water polo, open water, and synchronised swimming. Within the SER are various sub regional bodies, the one that WVSC falls into is the Surrey County Swimming Association (SCSA). Wey Valley member, Jeni Colbourne, is chairman of the SCSA.

The club is run by volunteers, covering a multitude of jobs, so any offer of help is always appreciated even if you can only spare a limited amount of time. If you feel you can offer help in any way please email the club secretary, Chris Michael.

Note: If any swimmer develops any medical condition whilst a member of the club, please inform the club immediately.
