Well done to all the swimmers who took part in the Octopus league on Saturday night.

Thank you to John for supporting our swimmers so well for the whole month I am sure a day will be well deserved!

A huge thank you to our volunteers who have helped enormously to ensure that the club can continue to compete at the highest levels. The Surrey Champs is a huge task behind the scenes! To Rachel for her work as Gala Secretary, to Fabio for helping with the Scoreboard at CP - a massive improvement on previous years and also a big thank you to Hannah Davies who officiated all day yesterday and many other dates - and to all those at the club who give up their free time to enable our swimmers to compete at these events

We have had to cancel the session at Waddon this evening due to the pool temperature being too hot to train. Therefore, Club Squad session at Waddon is cancelled. County Squad are able to swim at Whitgift at 4.30pm.

There is no swimming on Good Friday (29th March) or Easter Monday (1st April) at Whitgift or Waddon.

Normal timetable resumes on Tuesday 2nd April at Waddon.
