What a fabulous bunch of swimmers!

Thank you to all those who took part in our ‘fun-sponsored-5k-run’ today. It was SO hot and each and every one of you absolutely smashed it! See attached photo of some of the participants (unfortunately we did not get everyone in the photo).

Another thank you to all the family and friends who supported their swimmers (either sponsoring, bringing them or running along side them) – it means a lot seeing their faces at the end, knowing they’ve completed this challenge!

We can also confirm that we hit the £400 fundraising target!

We are so proud of you all for getting involved and the great team spirit, and to those who still ran with their former squad buddies – #swimfamily

Huge thank you to our amazing Squad Reps Lorraine, Ed and Anna for all their hard work so far! And to our fabulous coaches, Coach Andrew for running with the swimmers, Head Coach Andy and coach Jane for cheering and supporting during the race and giving super advice to those who swam before-hand!

We hope your swimmers enjoyed the run. They were so impressive and focused and it was lovely to see them being recognised and welcomed so nicely by the Park Run Team

We hope you have had a lovely restful afternoon with plenty of water to keep you hydrated after your morning run! We look forward to seeing you poolside at your next session.

The countdown is on!! https://ecoracing.co/cause/atlantis-sc-2406/
The Launch is just hours away, this is the last day to purchase your virtual balloon to support Atlantis Fundraising.
We are fundraising for: Atlantis SC is a not for profit competitive swimming club based in Sussex. With the support of our members and the local community we have survived the recent tough times and we can plan for the future. To maintain our position as one of the most prominent competitive swimming clubs in the region we need to move with the times and invest in new technology and innovative ideas. With your help we would like to raise funds to purchase 8 backstroke ledges and stowage rack. This system is simply and easily mounted onto the starting blocks. It improves the start push and trajectory of the swimmer when entering the water. The angle made by the legs in relation to the water surface during the final push off the wall is greater, and as a result, the swimmer‘s feet travel the path during the start phase of flight with less contact to the water. And, thanks to the Backstroke Ledge the swimmers gain in power and force when entering the water and therefore, achieve best performances.

As you may be aware Atlantis is aiming to fundraise £8000 this year for new equipment and coaches professional development. F1 and F2 are currently working on fundraising as much money as possible throughout March and April. They have already raised a fantastic £323 through the second hand kit sale at March Madness.
The next events they have planned are an Easter hamper raffle. Tickets will be on sale during training between the 2nd and 8th April with the winner being drawn on the 9th April. Please see the attached poster for more information.
They are also holding an Easter virtual balloon race. Head to https://ecoracing.co/cause/atlantis-sc-2406/ to purchase your balloon for just £3, decorate it and then be in with a chance of winning fantastic prizes, such as £100 cash, if your balloon travels the furthest. Please see the attached poster for more information.

Please see attached for upcoming closing dates and dates for the diary.
