The club is still active. We obviously have challenges in getting water space.

The committee recognise that that any water space we get will be limited and as a result water space will be allocated as a priority to the swimmers primarily in the Development and Junior Squads as these swimmers will be the building block of the club when the Stour Centre comes back online next year.

Sadly, we still have no route for Learn to Swim and most senior swimmers to get back in the pool at this time. We will update if this changes.

Kingswood

The committee has reached out to the swim school that won the Kingswood contract to explore the possibility of getting water time from them. This is in progress and we will update when this becomes clearer.

Ashford School

There is good news – we have held positive discussions with Ashford School and have been offered an initial three weeks training from 18th August at the Prep school in Great Chart.

Invites to these sessions have gone out – again, primarily to the swimmers in (or around) the Development and Junior Squads.

In these changed times we need to complete the relevant Risk Assessments and policies to ensure parents/carers, the swimmers and the coaches/helpers are protected.

We can’t invite all swimmers in these squads due to restrictions 

Finally, as a committee we would like to thank Dan for his hard work and commitment to the club as Head Coach and wish him and his family best wishes for his future.
