A huge thank you and well done to all our swimmers who took part in Friday night’s Swimalympics event.
It was fantastic to see such a great turnout, and from the gallery it looked like masses of fun was had by all!
From our little GB medal relay teams, to our hardy ‘Channel Swimming Crew’, as always we can rely on our swimmers to show true team spirit. It was also lovely to see such fun and friendly competition as the teams all battled it out in their respective “events”.
Team Blue emerged victorious in the obstacle relays for the SD squads, beating Team Green into second place by 3 points, whilst Team White topped the Swim the Channel challenge just ahead of rivals Team Black.
Our youngest members also did us proud as they swam length after length alongside our ‘Channel Swimmers’ to complete their GB medal challenge! A big feat for such little tots!
But whichever team you were in, it looked like a great way to spend a Friday night training session!
A reminder that sponsorship money will be collected from Monday 11 July 2016, a big thank you to all those who have already submitted their forms.
Please could parents be aware that there will be no afternoon training sessions on Sunday 10 July 2016 for all squads (with the exception of A & B1 squads).
We are sure it will be a fun filled afternoon, and a great opportunity for our swimmers to get together outside of the pool. Therefore, we would like to encourage as many of our swimmers to attend as possible.
If you haven’t already done so, please could you let us know if you are planning on attending so that we can finalise numbers for catering. Please email enquiries@chesterlestreetasc.co.uk. with numbers attending by Tuesday 5 July 2016 at the latest.
By now all squads should have received their sponsorship forms for the above event, and plans are underway in earnest for our very own Chester-le-Street Olympics. If you need a sponsorship form, select the one for your squad here; A/B Squads, Junior Pool Sponsor Form, SD Squads Sponsor Form.
The event will be held over two days Friday 8 July 2016 and Sunday 10 July 2016.
Please note that the summer closure period for our small pool squads will commence on 1 August 2016. As such, the last session for our younger squads will be on Sunday 31st July 2016.
Sessions will resume on Sunday 4 September 2016.
A reminder that the club will close for all other squads from Saturday 20 August 2016 to Saturday 3 September 2016.
