IMPORTANT CHANGES TO TRAINING TIMETABLE

Dear Parents and Carers,

All children are invited to take part in our sponsored swim/distance badge night.

This will take place at 5.00pm on Sun 5th September for stages 1 to 3 and Sun 12th September for stages 4 to 7. All stages are included and their teachers have recommended what distance they should aim for.

As the event is to achieve distance badges as well as a sponsored swim, children need to swim to ASA standard which means a full stroke must be accomplished. 

Badges and certificates will be available for purchase on the night. 

Any further questions please speak to Jane Booth or Vicki Clarke or email: learn2swim@newtonabbotswimmingclub.co.uk.

Thanks for your support

Newton Abbot Swimming Club entered 24 swimmers in the Devon County Development Gala recently held at Exeter and Tiverton and came away with fantastic results. There were 55 occasions where they had swimmers finishing in the top 6 including thirteen 1st places, eleven 2nd places and ten 3rd  placings, all delivered by achieving  85 Personal Best times.

It was a chance for some swimmers to enter the ‘competitive’ environment for the first time and for others to excel after recovery from injury.
