A huge thank you to all swimmers, parents, coaches, team managers, volunteers, officials, sponsors and partners (Volkan Photography, Swim Supplies and Hutton Moor) who supported our Easter Meet. From near or far, you supported our meet in great numbers and we are really grateful.

We hope the swimmers achieved great PBs and liked the specially made medals that were on offer to the top 8 swimmers in each age group.

We hope you all had a great time, had a safe trouble-free journey home and look forward to seeing you at Hutton Moor again next year.

Our Easter Sunday raffle in aid of Bone Cancer Research Trust raised the magnificent sum of £250, so sincere thanks to everyone who purchased a ticket and/or donated raffle prizes to this cause so close to our hearts at WSMSC in loving celebration of the life of Mary Collard.

VIDEO STROKE ANALYSIS

Over the coming months the clubs coaches will be videoing swimmers to help them improve their stroke technique, turns and starts.

Video analysis is being used by more and more clubs as an aid to coaching and teaching as it allows the swimmer to see exactly what they are doing correctly and incorrectly.

If you would rather that your child is not videoed you should email Rachel Aldington to let her know, if you have any queries on this please email the club chairman, Giles Moroney.
 

Learn To Swim

LTS has recently expanded and currently has a number of spare places. Please see the advert at the bottom of this page for information and contact details. Do please also spread the word to friends who may have children looking to learn to swim. Thank you.

FUNDRAISING THE EASY WAY!

Please see Newsletter 4 for details of how you can help WSMSC raise £5000 every year just by internet searching and shopping - at no extra cost or hassle to yourself. Please get online and register as a supporter of Weston-Super-Mare Swimming Club, then click Find & Remind to get an immediate 50p towards club funds to paste easyfundraising into your toolbar. Then, log into your easy account each time you go online and conduct internet searches via easysearch.org.uk (based on yahoo, bing and ask) instead of google and earn us 0.5 pence for every completed search (don't panic into thinking it's not working - the stats on searching take a couple of weeks to show in the club and your individual account). Please ask friends and relations to follow us also, and get them to click on Find & Remind. If you're logged into your easyfundraising account, any retailer who offers donations to causes like ours (there are thousands, like Amazon, Argos, Expedia, ebay, Tesco, etc, etc) will automatically make the donation to us - just do what you normally do, but via easysearch.org.uk

The opportunities that this presents for the club are massive - so long as we all buy into it (metaphorically speaking, as it doesn't cost a penny). Please join and then get searching! Thank you.  MA.
