Well done to one of our young volunteers Keiran Frame, on successfully passing his Level One Swimming Teachers qualification.
A big well done to four of our swimmers who took part in the national school’s swimming championships at the Olympic pool in London earlier today.
Chester-le-Street’s James Davison, Ben Ward, Emily Doleman and Ella Hall were all selected to represent Park View’s Year 7/8 Boys’ & girls’ teams, in the national final held at the London Aquatics Centre.
With over 200 teams entered overall, Park View’s boys team delivered a fantastic performance in the medley team heats to qualify for the final; finishing in pole position out of the North East schools and an impressive 9th position overall, also taking 14th place in the Freestyle team.
The girls team likewise produced an impressive result, finishing in 23rd place overall.
I’m sure it was a fantastic experience for our young swimmers and a huge well done to all those who took part!
Further to our recent announcement regarding our new team kit and intention to fund competition hats and kit for our swimmers, we would like to give advance notice of a targeted fundraiser which we are running in January of next year to help fund this.
For those of you not familiar with the “Rag Bag” scheme, it is a recycling project used by schools and community groups UK wide; to provide regular fundraising, whilst also helping the environment through textile recycling.
Its exceptionally easy to do, simply collect all your unwanted or outgrown (wearable) shoes & clothes, bag them up and we will collect and send to the Rag Bag organisation. The club will receive money for each KG of textiles collected – it couldn’t be easier!
So when you’re having a clear out after Christmas, bag it up and we’ll clear it for you, making money for our swimmers in the process!
Further information will be published in the next few weeks.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Please note the following amendments to training on Friday 20 November 2015, in preparation for this weekend’s NER championships.
Please note that all other A & B1 swimmers will train until 9pm as usual.
A reminder that there will be no training on Sunday 22 November 2015 for all A & B squads.

Congratulations to the following swimmers on qualifying for the North East Region Short Course Championships 2015.
This year’s Age Group and Youth/Senior championships will be held alongside each other at Sunderland Aquatic Centre this weekend and we are proud to confirm that we have 22 swimmers competing in the event.
We wish all our swimmers the best of luck for the weekend, particularly our first time qualifiers.
Do us proud!
A reminder to our qualifiers to wear their black competition shirts poolside.
Please also note that our new NER competition hats have now arrived and will be distributed this Friday during training.
Anyone not able to collect theirs Friday, should collect them from Lorraine/Gary poolside at the weekend.
Our swimmers yet again delivered some great personal best performances at last weekend’s invitational meet, which saw some of our youngest swimmers competing for the first time. With an overall medal haul of almost 80, Team CLS produced some impressive swims, notching up several 2016 county qualifying times, and numerous personal best times across the board.
As an invitational meet, our young 8 year olds were also able to compete alongside our more seasoned competitors, and despite their young age did fantastically well, definitely ones to watch in the future!
A big well done to all our swimmers!
