Congratulations !!!!
Hi Everyone , a great night had by all who swam at the Rother League meet on Saturday , we won the gala on the night with 195 points , just 4pts ahead of the I.O.W, so it was a bit nail biting at the end not quite knowing who had won , Andover came in 3rd with 184, Gosport 4th with 174, Eastleigh 5th with 168 and Ringwood 6th with 138pts ,A great evening with lots of cheering from the gallery and superb support poolside from the whole team , Steve and Sue midships sending out the troops to Myself (Starting end) and Emily ( Girls Club Captain) at the other . With final words of encouragement and lots of vocal support we did our best to send our swimmers of into the fray , I can honestly say that everyone gave their best and the results showed at the end of the night with a terrific win , well done to all of you , you did the club proud . It goes to show that when we train and work hard and enjoy the fun and laughter we can really work well together , lets keep up the hard work to make this a really good year , extra training finally pays the results for you all , see you all soon , Paul
PS. The summer is coming up fast and I feel a BBQ event coming on to get the social side of the club really buzzing so I will post place and time so we can get us all together for a bite to eat and a drink,

Novice Champs 2010
The Annual Championships forNovice swimmers in the Club were recently held at Totton Leisure Centre. The purpose of this event has 2 main aims. Firstly to give those swimmers who have yet to reach “Club level” or who are still taking lessons, an opportunity tocompete against similar ability swimmers and gaining a taste of what it is like to compete in a swimming event. Secondly, the event is run, timed & judgedby those swimmers who are at “Club level”, giving them some experience & understanding of how similar events they compete in are run, and maybe giving them an appetite to go on to do courses in the future with a view to becoming a fully qualified ASA Official.
There were 4 age categories forboth boys & girls – U9, 9-10, 11-12 & 13+, and 4 events in each agegroup, Freestyle, Breaststroke, Backstroke and Butterfly, all being of 50mexcept the U9 Butterfly which was only 25m. The top 3 swimmers in each eventall received medals.
Whilst it is not possible to listall those swimmers who took part, the results did produce some note-worthyachievements.
For the girls, Alexandra Walker in the 11-12 years agecategory produced a clean sweep, taking all 4 gold medals. In the 9-10 age group, Cerys Ralph took gold in Freestyle & Backstroke, with Hannah Brackley taking the Freestyle & Breaststroke in the 13+ group.
In the boy’s section, Harry Cooper equalled Alexandra Walker’s achievement in the U9 age group with another clean sweep. Honours wereeven in the 9-10 group with Freddie Ide claiminggold in the Freestyle & Backstroke, whilst Adam Bowen took Breaststroke & Butterfly. Zayd Neseyif’s domination of the 11-12 boys was only held in checkby Luke Ralph who took the gold forButterfly. To finish off, the boy’s 13+ events were hotly contested between Steven Simpson & Rob Murphy, with Rob emanatingAlexandra & Harry’s feat of taking all 4 gold medals.
The Club Officials would like to thank ALL the swimmers who took part for making the whole event worthwhile. Without you all, we wouldn’thave a club. Thanks must go also to the Club swimmers who did an excellent job in running the event, with a particular mention for Gemma Boyes – Girl’s Vice Captain 2010, for organising the “Officials” for the competition.And on a final note a thank you to all the Qualified Judges,Referees, Time keepers for their supervisory roles during the event .
