End of Term Newsletter
Wow what a term. It was great to get back to swim meets with other clubs and see success for all those who participated.
With a great turn out at weekly training and improvements for all in their technique and fitness, we had a great pool party at the end of the term.
Swim Club Gala
Thank you to all the participants, timers, helpers, coaches and parents who supported the event.
Well done to all the swimmers particularly those who were at their first swim club gala. The coaches were impressed by the standard of swimming as well as the pb’s that were achieved on the day.

We will be running a swim camp in the last week of the summer holidays. This is a great opportunity for swimmers to get fit again going into the new term!
It will be mornings – a program for juniors and a program for seniors. There will be a sports science session each day led by the team at CMLC. Then one (for juniors) and two (for going into S1 to High School) swim sessions a day. There will be a mini competition for all on Thursday.
To book onto this then please do so through the HLH schools out system. If there are any seniors happy to help out, then that would be great!
It is assumed that your child will swim the same sessions as this term, if this isn’t the case then please let us know asap.
