Badge Days

 

These are days designed to allow your children the chance to take badges and other awards.

 

There are no set days for these activities but they normally occur on Saturdays during December and March. Please refer to the notice board at the leisure centre. (An application form will be posted on the notice board after half term.)

 

If you are in doubt as to which badge your child should aim for please talk to your child’s coach.

Galas and competitions

Club Championships:

 

Tadpole Galas: For younger swimmers

 

Individual Galas: For any swimmers.

 

Intertowns League: Team based galas against other swimming clubs.

 

Our policy is to try and encourage as many children as possible to take part in these events.

When we think that your child is ready for competition we will place their names on the Gala roster, which will be displayed on the leisure centre notice board. Please tick their name to confirm their attendance.

Fund Raising & Social Events
Fund Raising

 

Whilst most of our funding comes through members’ fees any fund raising will enable us to provide more for your children; more specialist training, more competitions and more awards. However the committee is fully committed in running the club and therefore relies upon parents to put forward ideas and organise such events. If you would like to help, please contact the Secretary.

justine.riches@ntlworld.com

Social Events

 

The club likes to promote team building and the most effective way to do this is via social events away from the pool. Again if any parents would like to put forward ideas and organise such events please contact our Secretary.
