Lost Property/ New Coach

Hi All,
 
If anyone lost a City of Leeds T Shirt at the Sheffield or Leeds B Grade Meets, Team Manager Sara Eastwood has quite a pile she picked up at the end.  She will be on the balcony Monday night if you think you have lost yours and wish to collect it.
 
I am looking forward to our new Assistant Coach starting on Monday morning.  Her name is Nina Williams and she used to be a GB freestyle sprinter.  She still continues to train with the Masters.  Nina is an accountant but wants to start reducing her hours and get into coaching.  She has just passed her Level 1 and is excited to be starting work on such a talented squad.  I am sure you will all make her feel welcome as she settles in and gets to know all your names.  Elysha who has been a great help will continue to help out on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday nights along side both me and Nina.

I am very impressed with the way the group is training at the moment, particularly with the distance off the walls on the turns. This along with the stroke technique work is really coming along nicely.  Keep up the hard work and we will have a great Yorkshires.
 

"For myself, losing is not coming second.  it's getting out of the water knowing you could have done better.  For myself, I have won every race I've been in."  (Ian Thorpe, 400m Freestyle Olympic Champion, 2000, 2004).
