At Newark
Swimming Club , we have always
tried hard to , and have indeed achieved
success with limited training time for
our swimmers . We have now been offered
an opportunity by the Grove to potentially
double the amount of pool time we have
access to and the committee would like
the membership to fill in a questionaire
regarding this as It may mean moving
our club night to a Thursday .
This questionaire will be handed
out tonight at the Grove but you can
also either download and print off a
copy or reply by e mail to della.money@ntlworld.com
Please take time to read and return
this questionaire as it is important
we know how the membership feels about
these potential changes before any of
them are made .

Please can all members be aware that
they now need to arrange payment for
2013 over the next few Monday nights
. This needs to be done by seeing Rachel
on the desk and checking that all information
held by the club is current and up to
date . We ask that all members have
rejoined by the end of January to enable
us to determine how many spaces we have
for new swimmers .
The fees have been frozen for 2013
and Rachel has all this information
.
Please be patient as the mondays
in January are busy and hectic for all
of us at the club.

Last nights gala at Mansfield saw
us finish in 5th and last place . The
Stage 1 Gala was aimed at the early
development of gala swimmers and many
had never swam in an inter club gala
before so did very well . We also did
not have enough swimmers to enter several
of the races which did not help .
However , the swimmers that attended
did their very best and represented
the club brilliantly earning 3 wins
and an amazing 18 pb's .
Well done to you all and we hope
you all enjoyed the night as much as
the spectators and helpers did .

at least 1 qualifying time and 204 times
achieved already across these 28 swimmers
.
Go to the pb list in the timings
section and see if you have a qualifying
time already (marked in green) or are
close (marked in yellow). If you
have a time in a yellow box it means
we feel that you are still in with a
chance of getting these times before
the end of the year so should consider
entering the last chance time trials
.
The Last Chance Time Trials are on
the 15th and
the 23rd December where swimmers
who are close to County Times can have
another go but spaces will be limited
. Keep an eye on the website for more
