Blog 2882: Summer Clear Out

We are planning on setting up a second hand swimsuit 'shop' at the club.

An opportunity for people to clear out swimsuits and trunks which no longer fit but still have life, and likewise for people to be able to purchase at reduced cost items which still have use.

We would look to run these shops on a Friday evening at West Park, with all proceeds going to fund club equipment/activities.

If you have any items you wish to donate please send these on to either: -
  • Your squad rep
  • Nichola Rae-McLean
  • Joanne Hazelton
  • Annette Foss

Blog 2877: A & B Sunday training

The club have managed to secure time at Moorways Swimming Pool between 1pm and 3pm on Sundays until Queen Street is fixed. As this is a closed centre there are rules we need to follow to enable us to train there.

Swimmers are allowed into the building 30 minutes prior to the session and must vacate the building within 30 minutes of the session finishing.
Late swimmers may not be allowed into the building depending on available staff at the centre.
No parents are allowed in the building, not even for toilet breaks, there are places like Sainsburys etc nearby that have toilet facilities.
Swimmers are signed in and out of the building by the coaches.
Swimmers must keep their shoes and coats on top of their kit bags on poolside in case of a fire or fire drill.
Coaches must fill water bottles for the swimmers so that swimmers are not in areas that are unchecked.
No items are to be left in the changing room at all.
All bags are to be taken on poolside and placed in the area around the diving boards.

We currently follow these rules at DX and the plan works well. These are not our rules but the centre's and if we do not follow them the facility to train there will be taken away.

DX level 3 entries are open, this is a first come first served meet so please get your entries in ASAP. This is a great prep gala for all the remaining competitions, if you are going to High Wycombe it will give great long course experience, if you are at club champs coming from Long Course down to Short Course is always a great feeling and if you are going to British/Home Nation championships its another great way to get some long course race experience even if you are too fast for the events you have qualified for. Finally if you have never raced long course before this is a great opportunity to do so. I want a massive team going and hopefully we'll have some fun things planned as a team. Parents sitting high up the back at Ponds Forge is not sitting opposite the swimmers. You must sit opposite the swimmers, I want them to see your support, so wear your Orange T shirts and sit together, 1 club 1 team.

Blog 2867: Youth Midlands

What an amazing weekend for Long Eaton swimmers both from the home programme and Derventio Excell. The weekend saw massive improvements in performance levels and all the work we have been doing over this cycle to get ready for long course competition pay off. The tactics we used throughout the weekend worked and saw swimmers smash personal best times and come back with the clubs biggest number of finalist. The relay teams stood up and were counted, against lots bigger squads and clubs with individuals coming out with times quicker than the short course best in the splits. Below is a list of all Long Eatons swimmers performances from the weekend but to break it down for the individual swims. We had 77 individual swims over the weekend, 46 went on to final, 2 golds, 4 silvers, 6 bronze and 2 over all Regional Champions. Time wise, of the 77 swims, 28 were personal best times and 30 were season best times. Overall an impressive weekend for LESC and DX.
