If you have any unwanted costumes please consider donating them to “Rural Splash”. This is a swimming club in South Africa which allows children from disadvantaged areas and backgrounds to learn to swim and progress to compete. The Club gives the lessons for free. Most of the children live in shanty towns in shacks with no water or electricty. Costumes in any condition would be much appreciated.
The Carricks will be presenting the costumes to the Club in early December. So please give any costume donations to Taine,Mikyle or Magda by the end of November.
Probably one of the more challenging national league nights; no electronic timing, not enough seating capacity for the spectators and then cluminating in the final results being announced 3 times with 3 different winners. Rushmoor Royals were the eventual winners by 2 points from Windsor Swim.
It was unfortunate that the interim results was placing us in predominately last place when in reality we were competing for 3rd with Guildford B. In the end, we finished in a very creditable 4th place with 169 points.
But there were many positives not least 9 wins, 6 second placed finishes and 8 thirds. Our winners were Katie Latham x3 (including the u15 and Open 100m Back), Jamie O’Connor x2, Maisie Macartney x2 (50m Fly and Free), Kyri in 100m Breaststroke and the u11 Girls in the Freestyle Relay.
Draw and venue for Round 2 should be announced soon.
The results from the first weekend of the East Invicta Championship up to and including Session 4 have now been published and can be found on our Results page.
