WELL DONE EVERYONE!!! 

'Life is full of disappointments, failures and setbacks.  None of those things can permanently stop you.  You have the power to overcome anything that life throw at you.  There is nothing as powerful as a made up mind.  Surround yourself with people who remind you that you matter, and support you in the ways that matter most to you.  No person, situation, or circumstance can define who you are.  Don't give up, cave in, or stop believing that it's possible.  It's not over until you win'

Another fantastic meet, one of the best this season.  Great Effort!!! 


Most of you are starting to get the idea of how to pace on the longer distance now.  For some of you it looks like your race plan is coming together as we are getting closer to the end of the season.  For those swimmers who achieved Yorkshire times it is now time to start chasing those NER qualifying times. 

Keep training insane or your times will remain the same! 

Some of you who were close to NER times may need to use the course converter below to see if your times from the weekend are under the qualifying standards when converted from short to long.

Important Safety Message - Training Schemes

Hi All,

 

Please note that we have had reports of men approaching the public in the Middleton Grove area.

 

Please can you ensure you are extra vigilant when dropping children off for swimming/ diving / synchronised swimming, not just on any early morning sessions but at any other time as well.

 

When moving around the facility always go in a group with the coach who will escort you back to the pool.

 

If you see anything suspicious please report this to a member of staff.

 

We want to keep everyone as safe as possible when coming to the centre so please take extra care!
