Hi all. The new season is upon us in less than 2 weeks and it’s time to make sure we have everything ready to build upon last years great work. That being said, please ensure that you have all the correct kit - Fins, Kick Board, Pull Bouys, Paddles, Snorkles, Club Shirt, Hat etc. These can be ordered from Graham Meadows. It is vital that you have all the equipment you need to train correctly so that improvements can be made. After last season’s success, other clubs are starting to look at us, not only from our own County but up and down the Country as well, and therefore we need to be setting an example of how a successful club behaves. This means taking pride in everything we do, looking and acting like a team, not only at galas but at training as well. We are all trying to get to the same goal and so we have to pull together as a team and support each other. As soon as you turn up for training or for a competition, you are representing not only yourself but your parents, your coach and Long Eaton Swimming Club, so let’s make sure we show the world a shining example of team ethics and discipline. This is addressed to the swimmers, but, parents, why not turn up to a gala in Long Eaton Shirt and where possible sit with other parents to show your support for the club? As a swimmer I remember the feeling of getting on the block and seeing my team’s colours, not only on poolside, but also in the crowd as well. Knowing that all those people were supporting me, inspired me to try harder in every race where I could see the support. Last season was a fantastic one for the club; let us make this one even more memorable.
