CONGRATULATIONS YOU DID IT!!! WELL DONE ALL OF YOU!
For everyone that has raced over the 3 rounds of Sussex League this year simply, brilliant.
Winning the Sussex League for the second year running rounds off an amazing year of competing.
Thank you to everyone involved, from the parental support, officials, volunteers, coaches and, of course, swimmers!
Enjoy the break in August, the new season quicks off in September……..
Summer Break
We will, this summer, be taking a full break from training again. I want all our swimmers (parents and coaches) to have a solid break both physically and mentally. The last training day will be Sunday 4th August and training will then resume on Monday 19th August with the exception of weekday mornings which will resume on W/C 26th August. Squad changes will be announced by email next week and these changes will start when training resumes on the 19th August
24 hour swimathon.
They did it!
This fundraising finale of 2023 started at midday on the 21st and finished at midday on the 22nd, lots of updates were posted across our social platforms throughout the swimathon. In total they swam a staggering 103,250m the equivalent of swimming the English Channel 3 times! And, to date, have raised over £1800. An amazing achievement. Thank you for taking the time and effort to support this great cause and we will, of course, keep you updated on purchases made with the donations.

WEAR A FUN SWIM CAP WEEKEND!
As part of Senior, National and Masters fundraising initiative, they are running a ‘wear a fun swim hat’, in exchange for a donation to Atlantis, over this coming weekend 15-17th December at the Pavilions. Squad reps will be able to collect any donations poolside throughout all squad sessions. Thank you for your continued support.
AND IN OTHER NEWS…………………………………..
This is the biggest initiative of the year
** a 24 hour swimathon **
This has been a long process to ensure the correct procedures are in place – risk assessments and safeguarding issues have been carried out. We have permission from the Pavilions and lifeguards and duty managers that are willing to work through the night, giving up their time for free to help us.
The swim will start at 12noon on the 21st December and end at 12noon on the 22nd.
Swims will be in 20 minute blocks.
Fun and games throughout with treats/forfeits where supporters can donate an amount for a forfeit eg. wear fins for a small amount of time, or swim an 800 IM etc (worse things come at a higher cost!).
We are looking at the best way to collect sponsorship, possibly Crowdfunder, this will be confirmed later this week.
