Rother League

Write up in the paper today and press release is on the website. It was a tough gala for the children and if any are feeling down about it then go through the press bits with them. We were swimming against clubs one or two divisions higher than us and in the next two rounds we will be swimming against clubs in our own division so it will get better. The cutting from the paper is wider that A4 so I cannot scan it but I will pop it on the board tomorrow.

The team for round two on the 21st June was announced last night.

Well done Oliver

Sharon Gourlay reports that by this time last year we had only had one new club record, at this point we have had 9 and counting. Well done to Oliver Goodlud who has broken 5 club records and at this rate will need a larger bedroom to put all his certificates up in!

Well done Jon

Congratulations to Jon Brayne who has successfully completed his level two coaching course and has moved another step up the ladder.

No shoes at Godalming

Godalming now have a policy that no shoes are to be allowed in the changing rooms. They would like all swimmers to either take their shoes off before entering the changing rooms or use the covers that are available outside the door please.

kit

We have two volunteers now to help with club kit, we need one more to assure that we have coverage across the whole week. If you were thinking about helping but did not fancy taking the kit on on your own, then now is the perfect time to step forward as you will only be doing a third of the work!

ASA Benefits

Being a member of the ASA brings with it some benefits other than the obvious insurance. Details are listed here on the ASA website

Swimming in the News

Not often that swimming makes it onto the front page of the BBC news website but it did this week, whilst looking for the link http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/7434159.stm, I found this pretty cool video about the suits development http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7445686.stm.
