Apologies for being rather AWOL over the festive period. Thanks very much to Mike for covering for me. The good/ bad news is that I'm back on poolside this coming Monday and the build up to the season starts here!

I will be posting the next 4 months Monday Swim plan of action very soon...

Look forward to seeing you all again

Why not go for a small half shandy after Monday's swim session, those at the earlier session (swim) can a have a couple extra while waiting for the 9.00 finishers. The Wellington was nominated and seconded in true club committee style. In the spirit of Christmas the small half shandy might be ditched for a couple of well kept pints.

All welcome

Poppy

Below is a link to a YouTube clip of Ryan Lochte the American Olympic gold medallist. I want you to look at the underwater shots in particular and see how he 'throws' the water towards his feet...
