NOTICEBOARD swimmer in the club.
THE CENTRE
It is handicapped so anyone can win the trophy.
Everyone should be ready for a 6.30pm warm up

For those who have not taken part in this competition before, everyone
swims 100m Frontcrawl (4 lengths). The winner of each heat goes
through to the next round. 100m Frontcrawl is swum again with the
winner of each heat going into round three and so on until in the final
round the four swimmers compete for the trophy. Every round is
handicapped so that each swimmer has an equal chance of winning
the heat. Entry times will be recorded by time trials during training or
your personal best time will be used.

*****Novice swimmers please note that you may not be finished by

7.30pm especially if you make it through to the second or following
rounds.******

We would like as many swimmers as possible to take

part in this competition.

Lost Property
There is a constant problem of water bottles and goggles etc being left
at the pool either after training or at competition. I have a lost property
box which I have on poolside every session to act as a focal point for
missing or abandoned property. The goggles are recycling but the
water bottle collection is growing!!

New Members
The club has welcomed the following swimmer after the recent
members’ nights: -
Jessica Millar

Coaching
The coaching team is pleased to have two new members. Lorraine Hay
now assists on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays for squads 1 and 2
and Stephen Lissaman assists on Saturday mornings. Senga Restorick
has taken over as lead coach for the whole of squad 2. Allison and I will
continue to work with the top two lanes.

COMPETITION SECRETARY’S REPORT MAY 2010

Lothian Intermediate Leagues Round 2 17/04/10

Second round of this competition saw some changes to the teams from
the first round and some changes to the swims they did (mainly due to
the fact some are now too fast for some events). Declan Till and Cory
Paterson took full points in their events. The largest PB of the day went
to Charlie Smith with a 9.46 reduction now making him too fast for this
event.

Eyemouth Mighty Marlins Meet 24/04/10
