September

September saw us return fully into the new season and swimmers adapting to any squad moves and working with their new coaches and fellow swimmers. 

We only had one competition that we competed in and that was the last round of the Rother League this was the first time we have competed in this event and all the swimmers who competed done so very well even though it was early into the new season it showed what we have to look forward to for the rest of the season.

A big well done to our Masters team who picked up a trophy along the way. 

October

October started off strong with our first Open meet at Winchester all those who competed done so well and were starting to see that the training they have been putting in has paid off.

At the same time Sammy Scott was with myself and Jamie representing Hampshire at the inter counties in Sheffield (myself and Jamie were selected to be part of the coaching team) 

Sammy represented the county and more importantly the club proud well done to everyone who competed that weekend. 

17th-18th October we were at the Hart Distance meet and it was very good to see that more swimmers taking on the distance events we had 15 swimmers in total compete 9 competed in the 800m on the Saturday and 6 competed in the 1500 on the Sunday (some of the swimmers who competed in the 1500 also competed in the 800 the previous night.)

Lots of PBs were achieved at this meet and some of the swimmers surprised themselves with how well they competed. Well done to all those who competed these are not easy events to compete in especially for the ones who did both distances over the 2 days. 

24th-25th October we were back at Hart competing in their Autumn meet we had a strong team of 40 swimmers competing with a wide range from our younger junior swimmers to a couple of our performance masters. 

Again, everyone who competed done so very well and lots of new PBs were set and qualifying times for Hampshire Counties were also achieved. Well done to all those that competed it was good to see that all the training that you have done so far is working and that all the hard work you have put into training is paying off and you can all feel/see the benefit of what your coaches are asking you to do in your training sessions. 

A big thank you to the coaches and Team Managers that were at these meets with out your help and support we would not be able to do these meets.
