AGM support for PASC position

There was overwhelming support for the club's fight to urge the local council to rethink their decision to dramatically reduce the current level of financial support for organisations such as PASC. Members were asked to lobby council members on the club's behalf so that there can be no doubt regarding where we stand on this issue. The new committee is also now in place and will examine a range of options in order to secure the future of the club. Congratulations were expressed to the coaches and Teletot squad members who won the 'Swim-off' Gala in Cookstown. There is no doubt that this young team contains many talented swimmers. Outgoing Chairman Bill Partridge thanked all concerned with the club for the support they have given throughout his term in office and the club secretary outlined plans for training new coaches early next season. A big thank-you to all parents who attended, your continued support in much appreciated.

Teletot Squad Win Swim-Off Final!

PASC 'Teletot' squad produced their best swim of the entire season to defeat Ballymena and Dungannon in this years 'Swim-Off' finals held on Friday 6th June at Cookstown. The final scores were Portadown 340 pts, Ballymena 270 pts and Dungannon 229 pts. Although the winning margin was 70 points this was an extremely hard fought gala with each team giving 100%, indeed, in the early stages of the event the teams were separated by only a handful of points! The win was perhaps all the more special for our 'D' group swimmers who were taking part in their last Teletot gala; finishing with a gold medal was just reward for all their hard work over the last four plus years. Finally, a big thanks to all the travelling support who came to watch and those parents who once again helped out by acting as timekeepers. Thanks too to the other swimmers and officials from Ballymena and Dungannon for making it such an enjoyable and exciting final.
