    Block B moved to Braintree and our swimmers enjoyed a pool full of water and further success. Again we had numerous swimmers finishing in the top six of their events. Marissa Posnett had another successful weekend taking the gold medal in the 100M IM and bronze in the 100M breaststroke. Hayden Thomas came a very impressive 2nd in the 100M breaststroke and Lee Baker was beaten into fourth by the tiniest margin but nonetheless acheived an excellant personal best time. Block B was a weekend of long distance events including the 800m free and 200m fly. Well done to all who competed and contributed to us retaining our 10th position overall with an impressive 126 points.   

    The club is collecting Sainburys Active Kids vouchers so please give your vouchers to any teacher, coach or committee member.  
      

    Epping Forest swimmers enjoyed a very successful start to the Essex County Championships at Thurrock last weekend. The club saw no less than 15 swimmers make the finals of the 50m events and 8 of these swimmers made the top 3 within their age groups. Lee Baker and Marissa Posnett both took gold in the 50m freestyle, Haydon Thomas and Marrissa Posnett took silver in the 50m breast, Amelia Peddle the silver in the 50m free, and Katie Whiffin and Sophie Kenny took bronze in the 50 breast and Chris Mitchell bronze in 5Om fly. Unfortunately many of the 50m events in the afternoon were cancelled due to the mysterious disappearing water and these will now be swam at Block C and D. EFDSC finished the first Block in 10th position. Well done to all swimmers and good luck for Block B

      

    A red XL berghaus fleece was left on the coach coming back from Essex League 16/1/10 - please let Suzanne Peddle know if it is yours.   

    We currently have vacancies within our Learn to Swim Classes. Qualified experienced and friendly teachers provide tuition from very beginners from 4+ years. For further information please contact Susan Whithead on 02082810254.   

    The club is currently undertaking a full review of all personal information held on its members to ensure it is accurate, uptodate and fit for the purpose it is required. It has become apparent that not all swimmers are registering their medical conditions and drugs used, for example asthma and the need to use an inhaler/pump. It is vital that all such information is recorded and made available to the coach to ensure your health and safety and to comply with the ASA guidelines. If you have any medical condition that requires medication, or indeed not quite sure if your condition should be registered please contact Susan Whitehead who will be happy to advise.   

    Many members still seem to be having problems obtaining their ASA numbers, the following may help you - 1. Log onto British Swimming and ASA homepage 2. Click on the disciplines bar. 3. Click on swimming from the left hand menu. 4.Click on rankings. This brings up the British Swimming Rankings database page. 5. Click on member. - 3rd link. 6. Type in surname and select own record. Any hey presto ......your ASA number will be shown! 

    It is important that you include this number with every gala entry or your entry form may be returned.                                                                                            

      

    The summer timetable has been updated to clarify Thursdays. See the green box to the right   

    Well that was a turn up for the books!  We actually won a mini league!! With a great team consisting of 20 swimmers - some competing in their first gala - right from the beginning of the gala we were shocked to hear that we were actually scoring as we were so used to hearing the words "Epping Forest - time faulted". We were in 2nd place right from the start and things just got better and better! To hear that we were the winning club was fantastic!! Unfortunately the host club didn't realise they were supposed to provide a trophy though - we'll gladly accept a belated one when you get it!  Well done everyone, excellant job!
