Swim Club Update

Good morning families

Firstly how good was it we could actually get the kids back in the pool last night, storms please stay away on Tuesday nights for the remainder of the season. We are currently trying to work through how we make up for the two weeks we cancelled due to storms. Please stay tuned as we need to line up our volunteers in order to make it work.

Speaking of which, it would be amazing if we could have a couple of more people to volunteer to be part of our Swim Committee, running the swim club is fun but with limited volunteers and our daily paid jobs it does become a struggle at times to get things done. Please reach out if you are willing to help, more hands makes it lighter work for all. 

Last night you may have noticed we had some technical difficulties, and we need to work through those, so we aren't having the same issues week after week. I ask all families to please go in and nominate their races before 5.30pm on Tuesday 29th Oct. We are not going to be able to take any late nominations next week due to testing, if you haven't nominated and your swimmer wants to swim they can in a vacant lane however they will not be timed unless we can arrange to do it manually. Did you know you can actually go in and nominate your races for the rest of the season, on the night we can easily take the swimmer out, its just a lot harder to add them in. Reminder please have race nominations in no later than 5.30pm on Tuesday 29th October.

Due to the tech issues last night there are some swimmers who will not have received a time for some of their races. I understand isn't ideal however this is why we need to look at what is causing the issue. 

On a brighter note, I'd like to congratulate Laura Nicholls on being chosen as last nights Swimmer of the Week. This is Laura's first season and boy oh boy did she give every race a crack last night. She was completely exhausted by the end, but she still got out of the pool after each race with a huge smile. Congratulations Laura, please come and see me next Tuesday for your award. 

Any questions as always please reach out.
