Congratulations to Sam Lamb on his completion of Water Safety 2 and Victoria Galuzo who swam 10m for a badge and certificate.

We only have 2 swimming teachers max next week therefore Water Safety and Survival are on hold for a while. Swimmers will not need clothing.  The session will be the usual warm-up then a 10 minute timed swim for lanes 1 to 3. This will be followed by the choice of fitness work or a continuous swim. Please be prepared to work with minimum supervision.

Marie is looking at orders for hoodies. Please let us know if you would like to be added to the list. The cost would probably be £15 to £20, but they are good quality.

Also, let me have your entry forms for the Dudley Gala.

Welcome to new members Derek Clark, Victoria Galuzo and Bodhi O’Neill.

Thank you to Chloe for cake night, celebrating the fact that she will be 20 on Monday.

We will be very short of teachers for the next few weeks, please be patient and prepared for some fitness work. Next week will start with a warm-up and 10 minute timed swim. Any swimmer achieving a new best distance gets a certificate.

Attached there is an invitation to Dudley Gala and an entry form. Everyone welcome.
