Despite the foul weather it was lovely to see so many of you at the Award’s night. Congratulations to all swimmer’s on their award’s and certificates and for also supporting their fellow swimmers when collecting their awards. Many thanks to all the helpers who gave out the awards and had the mammoth task of sorting out all the cups/medals. Anne did a great job in getting all the cups and medals ready despite only being back from Australia for a few weeks!

Don’t forget the AGM will be coming up end of March – please check website/board for details.

I just wanted to share a little bit of news about our daughter’s recent achievement outside of Seals.I know she is not in the top 2 or 3 swimmers in her year at Seals but she works hard nevertheless and has progressed.She recently competed in a pony club tetrathlon (horse riding, swimming, running and shooting) event out near Shaftesbury. Her results were so-so but in the swimming she was placed first of ALL the girls in her age group across ALL the clubs. She was very pleased.We just wanted you to know that her work and especially all the efforts of the coaches often pays off in ways that you don’t get to see.

(an e-mail of thanks was sent to Anne, Annette and Carol on behalf of the parents).
