Program
On the noticeboard (and now home with each junior club swimmer) is a poster with penguins on! There are over 120 skills when a swimmer has completed 5 skills then a sticker is awarded for the poster. We started the program pre covid and haven’t been able to get back running – now we’re underway! There maybe an opportunity for those in the seniors that ‘missed out’ to have a go at completing theirs too.
Note from coach
Swimmers are really excelling in the water with attitude/commitment and improved timings – welldone everyone for this term. Thank you to the team of coaches – Kathryn, Catriona, Danielle, Alice, Freddie. Thank you to for all the volunteers – Holly, Danielle, Duncan, Alice, Gregor, Lucy Ella – your help with the junior squad has so much been appreciated. Thanks as well to the committee – without your commitment the club couldn’t run
