Costumes new rules - 03 May 2009

At all British Swimming Events competitors may only wear ONE SWIMSUIT in one or two pieces which shall not cover the neck, extend past the shoulder, nor past the ankle. This new rule is adopted with immediate effect. For all other events run under ASA rules this will come into effect from the 1st September 2009.

 

Wearing of Club Kit at Competitions
Congratulations to all who took part in one of the 3 events over the weekend. Coaches have asked that all swimmers and parents be reminded that club kit should be worn when attending galas. Of particular importance is the Epping Forest club hat. At a busy meet it is so easy for the coach to miss a swimmer if they are not wearing a hat they recognise! All items of club kit can be purchased from the Club Shop or by contacting Suzanne Peddle. If in doubt please ask your coach.  
Essex County Championships and Special Relay Weekend - 21/22 Nov 2009

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.   

Emma Hollis has now received ratification from British Swimming that she has claimed two further British Records. Emma has now broken the SB7 50m breaststroke short course record and the 200m breaststroke long course record. This brings the total number of Britsh Records held to 4! Well done Emma!   

The club will be entering the Bexley L1 Long Course Meet to be held at the new Crystal Palace Pool on 18th/19th April 2009. This replaces the proposed Norwich Easter meet the entry times making the meet more accessible for our swimmers. Full details, QT's, entry form and programme can be found on the Bexley SC website on the bottom of the home page.
