The following petition is looking for your support. They were originally hoping to get 200,000 signatures. They’ve already got over 208,000 but would appreciate more signing it.

We want the government to recognise the importance of gyms, health clubs, leisure centres and swimming pools in empowering people to look after their health and stay fit and for them to open first as we come out of lockdown.

You can sign it by following the attached link:

Well done to everyone who took part in our 30 year quiz! Questions covered what happened in the years 1991-2021, including some great ones from swimmers based on their year of birth. Some great scores were achieved and we all learned something along the way, including what Bubblewrap was originally designed for!
Halfway through the quiz we were entertained by our pancake flippers. What an amazing show they put on. The competition was stiff, whether it was between family members in the first 2 rounds, and then for the final between Michelle Thomas and Oscar Sherwani. Both put on a sterling effort to win a plaque with over 70 tosses achieved in 30 seconds – amazing! If you’d like to have a go at the 30 questions – the file is attached.

As part of our 30 years’ celebrations we are holding a Virtual Quiz at 7-8pm on Pancake Day! Questions cover the 30 years of our existence. Plus, not to be missed – pancake flipping competition – how many times can you flip your pancake in 30 seconds? Check out the bulletin for more details.

Welcome to our website. 2021 marks our 30th year as a swimming club. During the year we hope to be able to celebrate this in various ways. Look out for further details to follow!
