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 all of the swimmers that competed at the English Nationals 2019.

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.
