Message from Head Coach…

We have now received our license for the Level 4 internal Kent Time Trial on Wednesday 9th January 2012. Please ensure that the Form is in the box at Hartsdown by 7th December.

. This should allow those competing in Gravesend and Northfleet Autumn Meet to
finalise their entries.

By staging the Kent Time Trial night it will enable swimmers to split their events across the 2 galas.

If swimmers already have all their Kent QTs and do not need to swim at the Kent Time Trial night then Head Coach is happy for you to have the night off but you will still need to submit a ‘nil return’ entry form.

At the Kent RN Sports Awards Ben Pond was awarded Young Sports Star 2012.

Fab news and well done.

Thanet swim club had an incredible 75 strong team of swimmers enter the recent East Invicta Championships held at Kingsmead Leisure Centre, Canterbury. Up against teams from all over East Kent the competition is run over 4 days with swimmers as young as 8 taking part.

Thanet dominated the individual races and with swimmer after swimmer producing new personal best times they brought home an impressive haul of medals including 99 Gold’s from 148 events. Overall, Thanet swimmers achieved 387 new personal best times, set 26 new club records and most impressively 37 East Invicta event records were broken. But it was in the relays where Thanet really shone taking 22 of the 24 Winning trophies. It was no surprise therefore for Thanet to win both the Men’s and Women’s  Top Club Trophies, the Men having accumulated a massive total of 973 points ahead of City of Canterbury Swim Club with 327.5 points and the women  599 points ahead of Dover who came 2^nd with 398 points.
