I would like to congratulate Tanya Lancaster and Dominic Suggitt as they step up to take on the role of Lead Coach, Tanya will be taking Sunday sessions and Dom the Wednesday sessions. Both will be transitioning into these roles during September, ready for the new season of swimming. They will both be working closely with myself, Michelle, Haydn and the other coaches, to help take sessions to the next level.

We are also working closely with Swim Northwest to define a path way for young coaches, with the first part of this rolling out to our 16 to 19 year olds to develop level 1 skills and then 13 to 16 year olds, more information on that shortly.

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer and the Olympic games , if not where have you been. There has been some amazing swimming from team GB,  Adam Peaty getting Gold in the 100m Breaststroke and Jazz Carlin getting silver in the 400m Freestyle and again last night as Siobhan O’Connor got silver in the 200IM and the Men’s 4×200 Freestyle team also took silver.
