The coaches and committee and in particular Mike, Graham and Dana would like to say a  huge Thank You to Rachel for the outstanding work she has done as chair much of which is in the background. Rachel has overseen many changes in the club over the last few years that have contributed to the success we have enjoyed. Rachel will remain on the club committee and will continue to coach the achievers and development squads. She will also have more time to devote to her forthcoming first.grandchild .

Karen Mee , mum to Charlie in D1 has taken over as club chair. Karen has been a committee member for the last few years and  and we all wish her Good Luck in her new role. 

I have the job of organising the volunteers for the club gala excluding time keeping and recording. We need at least 10 volunteers per session to ensure the gala runs smoothly and hopefully  minimises stress levels. Please can you e mail me to volunteer for , the door, medal table, marshalling the swimmers, helping with refreshments for the officials and just general being around to help ! No experience is needed  and we can talk you through the detail . Many thanks

We are pleased to announce LSASC has received confirmation from Swim England that is has successfully retained it's SwimMark  Accreditation .

SwimMark is the Swim Engalnd's recognised kite mark for the development of effective, ethical and sustainable affiliated clubs.

It provides national recognition  the club is providing the highest quality of swimming for our swimmers,  and enables the development of all swimmers, teachers, coaches and all involved in the delivery of the swimming programme.

This is a significant achievement for the club and the Committee would like to thank all involved for their contribution and hard work to securing the accreditation.

Please click here to read a document from the club welfare officer in relation to behaviour and supervision in the changing rooms.

The club would ask for the help and cooperation of all parents in discussing the contents with their children in order that we can help avoid potential injury to swimmers and also avoid damage to the club’s reputation

The club are pleased to announce that Louise Curley is to become our resident club Physiotherapist. 

To ensure the welfare and safety of swimmers, the Club has produced some guidelines on the drop-off and collection of swimmers. Please can we ask parents and carers to read the following  policy which can also be found on the Club's website.

Thank you.

LSASC Committee

Part of the criteria for a squad swimmer is to compete in target meets selected for your squad. From February 2015 target meets will be clearly marked and gala sessions will be included in the attendance criteria. For each gala session, 2 hours will be added to the available hours and every swimmer attending a session will be given an attendance mark. Swimmers who entered the session but do not attend will not receive a mark. Swimmers who attend but do not compete in all entered events will only receive half a mark. If a normal squad session occurs on the day of the gala this will be cancelled as all swimmers should be at the gala.

If a swimmer has made the qualifying times and entered the gala but has subsequently been rejected by the meet organisers, they will still receive an attendance mark if they were rejected from all entered events within a session.

A member of the Club's squads has a serious nut and seed allergy.  If she comes into contact with traces of nuts and some seeds she risks an allergic reaction which could result in anaphylactic shock.  We would be grateful therefore if parents and swimmers could be aware of this and ask that you avoid bringing snacks containing nuts and seeds to galas. Thank you for your cooperation.

Well done to our Junior League Team finishing 2nd in rd3 of Junior League.

A packed coach left Warwick Boys after a hard morning’s training and headed to Thorpe Park.  The coach arrived as the park opened and the fun seekers made their way to the scariest rides experiencing the twists, and turns of the likes of Swarm, Stealth, Nemesis and the awesome Saw ride. Those preferring not to see their life flash before their eyes (which, for most would be a life spent at the swimming pool!) opted for the more sedate log flume rides and endless cups of coffee.  The queues were a little long but it gave everyone’s cheeks the chance to be kissed by the sun. 

The return journey developed in to a noisy game of slaps which at least kept the parents snoring at bay.  Another successful trip for the club with everyone having a jolly good time and lashings of fun. 

Remember the BBQ on 8^th September and watch out the waterpark trip coming soon.
