Competitions:
Not all competitions are suitable for all swimmers. Your coach will advise you on which you are ready for and which events you should enter. Please look regularly at the notice board to check the dates of league galas and note if you are in the team. It is important that you let either Marion or Scott know if you are unable to swim so that a reserve can be notified. Sometimes we are able to replace a swimmer an hour before. So if you fall off your skateboard and break a leg!! Let us know. The newsletter gives details of any changes and lets you know what is happening within the club, or look up the web site.
