The committee would like to remind all parents of the club’s drop off and collection policy which also contains  advice for during sessions. 

The closure of the pool last Tuesday highlighted that a number of children did not have a designated adult present during the session. It is essential for the safety and welfare of  all swimmers that the policy is adhered.  We would also ask that any changes in contact details are notified to secretary@swimleamington.org

The committee have received two further complaints relating to the use of mobile phones in the changing rooms. We would therefore once again ask all parents to ensure that their children are aware that the use of mobile phones is strictly forbidden in the changing rooms and on pool side. It is essential  that all swimmers adhere to the this rule and any swimmer who does not will face disciplinary action. 

Please see below notice from WB Sport Centre :

There will be occasions especially in the hot summer months that the poolside fire exit doors can be opened to allow cooler air to maintain a suitable and pleasant environment for coaches and spectators on the poolside.  It must be remembered that the main users of the swimming pool are the swimmers themselves and their comfort is paramount, and consideration must be given to them on the time period the doors are opened for. 

• Fire Exits Door can be opened during hot weather periods or when the swimming pool hall environment is in need of fresh ventilation.  To either cool the air or ventilate the area during and after a vigorous swimming sessions.
• If the Fire Exit doors are to be opened, please first seek permission from the Sports Centre Duty Supervisor.
• The Duty Supervisor or a member of the Sports Centre Team will place in front of the doors a ‘section barrier’  stopping people walking in and out of poolside.
• Any Parents / Siblings and swimming members must not use the fires exits as a means of entry or exit of the swimming pool area.  (Before, During or After Sessions)  Normal exit of the Sports Centre past reception.
• The use of the outside (slab areas) for the swimmers are at the discretion of the Helpers, Swimming Teachers or Coaches that are on poolside at the time.
• If swimmers have been outside any mud, grass or debris must be wiped clean from their feet and if necessary washed in the changing room showers.
• It is the responsibility of the Helpers / Swimming Teachers or Coaches to ensure no mud, grass or debris is transferred into the water from outside.
• If assistance or supports is needed from  the Helpers, Swimming Teachers or the Coaches to control children and parents, please ask at the Sports Centre Reception.

In order to reduce the pool hire costs, the club have taken the decision, that from 1 May, we will no longer be using the pool at Caludon Castle on a Friday evening.

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.

Congratulations to our Girls 14-16yrs who have qualified both

4x100 free and 4x100 Medley teams at British Championships 2018.

Swimmers for these 2 relays will be selected after 31st May based on ranking times, fitness levels and training commitment.

Well done to all of the swimmers for a solid start against tough competition,  great swimming by all the team!

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.
