Thanet Swim Club

Thank you to everyone that has entered the club championships using our new online booking system. We have received 176 swimmers entries for the Saturday championships, which is another record number.

Out of this, we have only 16 entries that have been made and not paid for, and these will be followed up this week.

Please note that moving forward we will be expecting swimmers/parents to use the new system, as cash/cheque payments will no longer be acceptable (unless in the event of website issues).  To assist anyone that has experienced troubles, we will be running various demonstrations during upcoming training sessions.

It has been a fantastic year for achievements and one that has announced the club to the swimming world. With amazing results at the recent British and ASA Nationals, it has brought a close to one of our best ever years.

This year saw our 2^nd GB swimmer, Jamie O’Connor, being picked to compete in the Youth Olympics. (We wish our 1^st GB swimmer, Katie Latham and her twin sister Alice, the very best as then move on to University.)

Another sign of the development of the club is how well we performed in the team events, with our first ever Kent Junior League win as well as qualifying for the South District Arena League final for the first time and then going one better and making the National B final.

Our first season as a combined club, the improvements have been beyond belief and I would like thank the efforts of the coaching teams and committee for creating a plan that should see the club continue to grow and improve long into the future.

I hope that everyone enjoys the down time during the club break and comes back in September ready to see where we can get next season.

Thank you

Scott
