Thanet Swim Club

Congratulations and GOOD LUCK to Luke Fowle on being selected for the PentathlonGB team heading out to Poland for the Under 17 European Championships over 11-18th June

What an amazing day at our Tough Swimmer team-building fun day at the MY/PT Survival obstacle course at Betteshanger Park – over 190 club members attended! Even a few showers didn’t dampen the fun as the swimmers coaches, parents and carers were put through their paces across the comprehensive obstacle course.  We couldn’t help getting a bit competitive during the swimmers V coaches and parents race – especially as the course became rather muddy after the rain – winners were the ‘oldies’ (but they did have a two minute head-start!).  Massive thank you to Scott and Claire Miles for organising this amazing fun day.  Thanks also to Fruits de Mer for supplying the BBQ food Drinkwarehouse for supplying the drinks, ABCastleHire for the bouncy castle and to Your Leisure for their BBQ and continued support.
