We would like to say thank you to everyone who came to Presentation Evening and made it such a fun evening of celebrations and well done to all the swimmers that received awards and trophies!
It really was a special night as we paid tribute to John White upon his impending retirement. We enjoyed an enlightening talk about being an Olympic athlete by Edward Sinclair. We also announced our new Club Captains: Hannah Denny and Sam Crabtree and our Vice Captains: Maisie Macartney and Oscar Macartney.
Thank you to Your Leisure for use of the Winter Gardens, thank you to our new sponsor MICD Developments and everyone else that contributed towards the event – especially for all the amazing raffle donations.
Finally, we’d like to say a massive THANK YOU to the organising team who went above and beyond to make the evening a huge success.

Congratulations to Katie Latham for a stellar performance at the BUCS (British Universities & Colleges Sport) short-course swimming championships this weekend.  Katie was representing Kent University, where she is studying for a degree in Biochemistry.  Katie swam an  amazing 0.57s PB to win a BRONZE medal in the 50m Freestyle.  She also made finals in the 50m Backstroke (5th) and 100m Freestyle (8th).  Several of Thanet SC’s alumni were also competing including:
Alice Latham, Connor Lowry, Lauren PJ, and Ned Moriarty.
