Trophies and Medals up to 5th Place awarded at a special ceremony and supper usually in January.

It has come to our attention that an overnight school trip is happening on Tuesday 9th November and because we really need the swimmers’ up-to-date times we are prepared to allow these swimmers the chance to swim the Frontcrawl and Butterfly races the 2nd week (we have never allowed this before). On Tuesday 16th November, they can swim the Frontcrawl and then the IM race, and on Friday 19th they can swim the Butterfly and then the 200 metre race. There will be an interlude before they do this.
We will also allow anyone who will be isolating during the first week to do the same. This is only to be allowed in exceptional circumstances and with a verified valid reason.
Please contact me with any swimmers this will apply too.

First session swimmers may not yet have reached this standard particularly in breaststroke or butterfly, but we want them to have a go at all their races.

Any concerns please discuss with teachers.
