There was a coat left behind after swimming on 17/10/25 (see photo). Sheila took it home for safekeeping (pool aware Sheila has the coat) and has contacted parents to ask if anyone has lost a coat, as well as posting it on the website, but as yet, the coat hasn’t been claimed. Sheila is going to take the coat back to the leisure centre tomorrow morning (Monday) unless anyone contacts her before then.

Some of the juniors who missed the 10 minute test completed it today.

Congratulations to those who set new best distances

Leah Pettifer  175m

George  Winfield 180m

Lacey Conlon 235m

There was a coat left behind after the session (see picture).

It can be delivered to the pool for collection either tomorrow after 8.00am (Saturday) or Monday after 11.00am. Alternatively it will be on poolside next Friday. To arrange collection text Sheila 07984 590259.
