This year the club has four swimmers joining the the South East Region International Camp. The overall team includes 24 swimmers from across the SE. They will be racing at the Flanders Cup in Belgium over the weekend of 20/21st January. Our swimmers secured these places by winning Open events at the SE Region Winter Championships in November. Our Head Coach, Dan Cross will also be joining the team to provide coaching support. Good Luck Katie, Jamie, Maisie, Daisy and Dan!
Wishing our 60-strong team the very best of luck at the Kent Championships starting this weekend at Crystal Palace. The competition runs over four consecutive weekends, finishing off with the 50s and 200IMs at the London Aquatics Centre on the 10/11th February. This year our squad includes eight swimmers that have made it to Kents for the first time – so a special well done to them!
