Thanet Swim Club

On Saturday we had two teams compete in the 1st round of Kent Junior League 2023.

Competing at Crook Log Leisure Centre the teams of 8 – 13 year olds performed amazingly well throughout the gala, being cheered on by an army of travelling supporters.

The final results were:-

• Beckenham SC 340
• Thanet A 315
• Maidstone 314
• Bexley SC 259
• Folkestone SC 210.5
• Thanet B 158
• Dover Lifeguards 118
• Hythe Aqua 67

Congratulations to all the swimmers, coaches and parents that attended. Looking forward to round 2!

The club are pleased to confirm that the external roofing work on Hartsdown has been completed, with interior works being now undertaken. Following meetings with Your Leisure it is our expectation that we will be returning to Hartsdown in early May. Further information will be sent to members soon.

The club hosted our Annual Festive meet at Dover Leisure Centre over the weekend.

With 14 clubs in attendance and over 400 swimmers, it was a extremely busy gala, which was managed amazingly by our Gala team, who had to not only organise all the usual roles and responsibilities, but also had to deal with a very unhelpful Leisure Centre team.

The gala was an amazing success, with our legendary “Hot Heats” and festive chocolate for all swimmers in attendance, plus some excellent social media competitions.

A huge number of fantastic swims and huge pbs were recorded by the swimmers, ready for County championships in the New Year.

The club would like to thank all the clubs & swimmers for attending, but also to our army of volunteers, that:-

1. Set up the gala
2. Run the AOE
3. Announced
4. Organised the food & drinks
5. Organised the medals
6. Organised the chocolates & Speedo gifts
7. Run the front/medals/hot heat desks
8. Photographer and social media
9. Marshalled
10. Officiated
11. Run results for coaches & spectators
12. Organised for Father Christmas to attend!

It is down to our fantastic supporters that we can host such a fantastic gala! THANK YOU ALL!

We are looking forward to seeing you all at our Speedo Festive Meet this weekend.
