Saturday 11th July

After many years of waiting the club is now in the fantastic position to establish an identity by introducing a new club kit.  To mark this momentous occasion and to ensure the kit is ready for the start of the swim season in September the club have organised an event on Saturday 11th July at Cotleigh Village Hall starting at 17:30hrs when the kit will be launched.  To support this occasion the club have also organised a presentation by a nutritionist who will provide members with an insight into healthy eating and living.

The club recognise this is a late notice announcement but due to the ordering time frames we urge parents to support this event so swimmers can be measured for sizing and for orders to be placed.  It is envisaged the event will last no more than 2 hours and members are encouraged to bring along refreshments for their own consumption.

The kit will comprise of a top, shorts, hoody and full tracksuit with a discounted price of £45 for members who are 14 and under and £55 for all other members.  This represents a 50% discount on the purchase costs which has been made possible by grants and fundraising events.  The club will strive to maintain this discount in the future but will need the help of all members to organise and support future fundraising events to make this possible.

We are also keen to introduce some form of buy-back scheme in order to support the regular size changes of our members.  Details of this have yet to be confirmed but any suggestions on how this can be supported would be welcomed.

Please come along to this special occasion so we can process orders at the earliest opportunity.

Club Survey

Regrettably, the response from the recent club survey was very disappointing with only a small amount completed by parents/guardians during the AGM, and a nil return from the online request.

The survey was designed to assess the future desires of swimmers and gain feedback on what can be done to improve the club structure.  The club was particularly interested to hear from parents/guardians in order to gain an understanding of the issues they face which prevent more pool hours and attendance at galas.  Without this feedback the Committee will now have to determine whether it is viable to continue with some of the morning/evening sessions as there is insufficient evidence to support future requirements.  Unfortunately, once sessions are stopped it is extremely unlikely the club will be able to secure them in the future……. in other words once they are gone they’re gone, so we urge both swimmers and parents to complete the survey form (click link below) and return to the Club Secretary by Friday 15th May.

Please remember, the Committee are striving to make the club a enjoyable experience where swimmers can learn and develop, but we need your help to achieve this.  

Club Survey

26th April 2015

As highlighted at the Presentation Event the committee would value your views on the club structure and what we can do to influence swimmers to commit more hours in the pool.  Without this feedback the club cannot plan for the future or make changes which will support our members.

Please remember, we need your honest feedback, whether positive or negative, in order to determine what needs to be done.  Ideally we would like to hear the views of both swimmers and parents in order to gain an overall perspective from all concerned.

Please find the survey link below which we would ask you to return to Ralph Lynch by Friday 1st May.
