The club is pleased to announce plans to hold a home gala in conjunction with Chard Swimming Club on Sunday 15th November. This will be the first gala the club has held for many years so we really hope it will be supported by all our members. Obviously such an event requires pre-planning and assistance on the day, especially from parents/guardians, so we will be publishing a help list in September which we will be seeking volunteers for to ensure the event is a success.
Please remember this is a great opportunity for the club to promote itself as well as raise some vital funds so any donations or sponsorships will be very welcome.

Please note, this gala is open to all of our swimmers aged 9 and over but it is advisable to speak to Ralph if you are not sure whether or not it is suitable for your child.

A big congratulations to all our swimmers who took part in the gala yesterday. Not only were there some excellent performances but the support provided to team colleagues was superb. Some swimmers took part in over 10 events to compensate for our lack of male competitors but this did not limit the number of PB’s achieved. One of the most noticeable and commendable elements of our swimmers was the etiquette they demonstrated during the race starts which Coach Ralph was extremely proud of. Unfortunately we are not able to provide individual times for the relay events but the times and team members/order of swim can be seen below.
The results of individual races can be found in the link provided at the bottom of this post.

Taunton Deane’s Summer Level 3 Meet takes place in Weston-Super-Mare on 11th/12th July. Although this is a level 3 gala there are no qualifying times, only upper time limits, and so this is suitable for all swimmers aged 9 and above. Swimmers from Honiton have attended this gala for the past 4 or 5 years and have always enjoyed it so please do take part if you can. The closing date for this gala is 12th June so please could all entries be forwarded to Sarah Lilley by 2nd June in order for them to be processed in time. Please make cheques payable to Honiton Swimming Club and ensure you have included times on your entry forms.
Congratulations to everyone who took part in the Exmouth Rosette Gala last Sunday. It was great to see so many younger swimmers overcoming their nerves and enjoying themselves and also to see loads of PB’s and a couple of club records as well. A BIG WELL DONE to everyone who took part.

The club has been invited to attend Sidvale Sharks end of season team gala which is being held in Sidmouth on Saturday 4th July. This is a great event for all our swimmers, no matter of their age or standard, so we are hoping we can take a large team along to enjoy the experience. Please consider taking part in both the individual and relay events as these are perfect for developing team spirit and camaraderie. There is no cost to enter the event, just a £2 entry fee for spectators to help cover the cost of the pool hire. There will also be a BBQ afterwards with burgers, hotdogs and soft drinks.
Please return your completed forms to Sarah Lilley by Sunday 24th May.

Please find details of a gala, organised by Exmouth Swimming Club, taking place on Sunday 17th May, warm up 5pm. This is a friendly gala between Sidvale, Honiton and Exmouth and is open to all swimmers aged 8 and upwards. It will, therefore, be a perfect opportunity for our younger Sunday swimmers to get their first taste of a gala after doing so well in the Time Trials and Club championships. It would also be great to see the majority of our other swimmers there too, supporting their club.
Entry forms need to be returned to Sarah Lilley by Sunday 19th April with cheques made payable to “Honiton Swimming Club”. If you do not have a time for a particular event then just put NT (no time).
A message for our more experienced swimmers, if you have times but don’t put them on the form, then NT will be recorded on the form.
