Welcome back Jasmine Thandi. So pleased that you are feeling better.

NASCH GALA RESULTS
As usual the outcome of most of the races was unfathomable without times. Maybe it will be clearer when we get these.
However, an amazing effort from every swimmer won us the Overall Winners Trophy. Well done to Kacie, Adam, Beth, Leanne, Lainey, Sam, Amos, Aidan and Gurvinder.
The Ladies Relay trophy was won by Beth, Leanne and Lainey.
Kacie won the Girls 4 Lengths Trophy.
Medal winners were Adam (1L, 2L and 4L), Beth (2 L), Sam (2L), Amos (4L), Kacie (1L, 4L), Leanne (1L), Beth, Leanne, Lainey (Ladies Relay) and Amos, Sam, Gurvinder (Men’s Relay).
A special mention to Adam who swam 100m for the first time ever for his badge and certificate. He very kindly took Ralphie’s place in the longer races and without this valiant effort it is unlikely that we would have the the Overall Winners Trophy.

Dear NASCH member,  

I hope you are all keeping well. 

I have the absolute pleasure of enclosing copies of the 2026 NASCH Yearbook, incorporating the NASCH reports for 2025 and featuring so many wonderful updates and features from our member clubs.

It was an absolute pleasure to read the news from all our clubs and how successful you have all been over the past year. We do unfortunately have the sad news to share that after 59 years Bexley Beavers is closing, a culmination of Covid restrictions and ever-increasing regulations. We do have a farewell message from Mr. Norman Leach, Bexley Breaver’s Treasurer.

Please do feel free to distribute as you see fit. 

I look forward to hopefully seeing you at a NASCH event in the future.

With very best wishes, 

Lydia Roshanzamir

Next week is the last swim before Easter and anyone who would like to try a Distance Swim is invited to give it a try.

A reminder that successful juniors are awarded a badge and certificate and seniors a certificate if successful. Flippers are not required next week.
