We are extremely pleased to announce that Gordon Brown Law Firm have very kindly agreed to become our National Team sponsor for the next three years!
We are delighted that they have confirmed their ongoing support, which will provide valuable financial assistance to our National qualifiers.
As a club, we rely heavily on generous donations such as this, to help provide the facilities and opportunities needed to enable our talented youngsters to maximise their potential. We are extremely grateful for all of the support we receive from parents and local businesses which helps us to do this, and support our young athletes on their road to excellence!
So all that’s now needed is to secure those elusive qualifying places…. good luck to all those aiming for qualification.. we have every faith in you!
Please accept our sincere apologies that we didn’t manage to take the above on Tuesday night. A big thank you to all those who remembered to bring their shirts!
We have arranged to reschedule the photo for Friday night before training, therefore this gives all those who forgot to bring their N & D Shirts the opportunity to remember them next time round! (and yes that includes my kids shame on me!)
Please could we ask that our N & D qualifiers try to arrive on poolside a couple of minutes earlier so that we can take the shot; which will be uploaded on our website and will be our new profile picture on our FB page, so make sure you put on your best smiles!
Please could all swimmers ensure that they remove ALL CLOTHING & BELONGINGS from the changing cubicles when training. Bags MUST either be placed in the communal changing rooms or brought on poolside, they MUST NOT be left in changing cubicles or on benches.
With immediate effect leisure pool staff will remove any items which are left in the changing cubicles or lying around the changing rooms.
Thank you for you for co-operation and support in this matter.
We would like to wish one of our B squad swimmers Nicola McConnell, the best of luck when she takes part in the GBDSC Club Championships early next month.
GBDSC or Great Britain Deaf Swimming Club, is an ASA affiliated swimming club, run by volunteers who are keen to help create opportunities for deaf swimmers.
The club based in the South East Region, welcomes swimmers with hearing impairments from across the country; offering a competitive pathway for deaf athletes, encompassing training opportunities, as well as resources & support for swimmers and their families.
The Club Championships is an inclusive annual event, open to hearing impaired swimmers nationwide of all abilities, incorporating a comprehensive training programme in addition to the championships themselves, all jam packed into a weekend of fun, frolics and competition!
In addition to their domestic competitions, GBDSC take their highest ranked swimmers to the international stage, where they compete in European and even World deaf swimming championships, with significant success I might add, as several GBDSC swimmers are the current holders of European and World Deaf records!
The upcoming Club Championships takes place on 18-20 March 2016, and acts as trials for the GBDSC to select their International Teams, so I’m sure the competition will be fierce to secure those all-important places!
I’m sure it will be a great event and we look forward to hearing how Nicola gets on!
GBDSC are always looking to welcome new members from far and wide to their swimming community, with a wealth of opportunities on offer for swimmers of all ability levels. It’s a fantastic initiative, designed to encourage and support deaf athletes to participate and excel in competitive swimming, and we wish them all the best with this year’s championships.
