New Season

Overall this season has been fantastic!  We have had some amazing results and I am looking forward to the start of next season.  Training will commence on Monday 19th August.  We will have 15 new swimmers from the Development squads joining us from the start of the new season.  Please make them feel welcome and introduce them to the Regional spirit.  They maybe a little nervous at first, as moving up can be a scary experience.

Just a few reminders........
