Hello! My apologies for how long it has taken to get the site updated! This was due initially to technical problems and then the fact I did not have access to the internet for a few weeks!

The site will be updated over the next few days to a respectable level!

The new training times have been posted, there are a lot of minor changes so please read them carefully to avoid annoying Marion with latecomings!

View Marion and Scott's day out to Blairdrummond safari park!

The squads section is to be overhauled with the information in this document. This will be done as soon as possible.

Watch this space!

The Events Section has been completely overhauled and now features an easier menu system. This should make it easier to find exactly what you want!

It has come to the coaches attention that recently there have been unacceptable incidents in the changing rooms. Swimmers you must remember that even though your session has ended you remain St Thomas members and therefore you must behave responsibly and with due consideration for others.

Due to a clash with the Edinburgh International Meet the Premier League originally scheduled for April 29th will now take place on August 19th. The next Premier League is now the 27th May at Arbroath.
The 3rd division team returned with the maximum 5 points from the second league fixture of the season. The next one is 20th May at Montrose, Team list is on the notice board, please tick your name if you are available.

The Parents Committee has been busy organizing a sponsored swim to help raise money for the club. It will take place on the 8th of May. All swimmers will take part in their lessons as normal.

Upcoming Competitions, please see Upcoming Section for the dates of club galas and others.

Swimark, As St Thomas was one of only 7 clubs in Scotland to be awarded SWIMARK accreditation by Scottish Swimming, we are now going to be given assistance by Jemima Coates (the Swimming Youth Development Manager) in applying for the new SWIMARK award. This will require the club to audit our procedures in 3 different areas: swimmer development, teacher/coach education and development and development management.

Coaches courses are starting soon, details are on the notice board, or here.

Quick reminder that there is a 3rd division gala this Saturday at Arbroath.

The premier division gala that was meant to take place at the end of April has been changed to August 19th, as it was conflicting with the Edinburgh International.
