Registration of swimmers

In order to keep our records up to date it is important that parents of new swimmers complete the relevant registration forms available at the front desk on Wednesday night. Anyone who has not yet returned their 'Access NI' form should do so as soon as possible. If you are not sure check with Kate Guy at the front desk.

PTL Gala V Ballymena

Our next PTL gala is against Ballymena on Saturday 6th December at Cascades. Warm-up will be at 5 o'clock and we hope to get things under way at 5.30pm. So far our record is two wins out of two but there is no doubt that Ballymena will provide stiff competition. Due to this gala there will be NO swimming on Saturday morning or on Sunday sfternoon.!

Welcome to all new swimmers

Great to see so many 'new' faces and also a big 'well done' to swimmers who have moved up from the wee pool. Lanes are busy especially on Wednesday nights but there are several other sessions throughout the week which swimmers can attend - check with one of the coaches for details of days and times. The 'Teletot' season starts just after Christmas and Caroline is already looking to see who will make the team. Teletot galas are fun (and noisy!) and we would encourage all swimmers who qualify to give it a go and see if they can get into the squad.

And the winner is ...

Congratulations to all who picked up a prize at the Annual Raffle which was drawn last week. Once again the event was a great success raising a total of £1246 for the Club. Top prize went to Joe Mackle who can look forward to a break in the Slieve Russell Hotel sometime in the future. A big thank-you to all prize sponsors and of course the club members who sold the tickets.
