TRAINING CHANGES FROM 3RD AUGUST 2010

Following Cliff's departure, we welcome Stephen Green and Donna Lee to the coaching team. Steve and Donna will initially be supporting Gibson Squad.

LEARN TO SWIM - Tuesday lessons at Booker Park have now moved back to Aylesbury Grammar School on Tuesdays from 5pm to 6pm.

GIBSON SQUAD - Tuesday sessions at Halton are relocated to the Grammar School from 6pm to 7pm.

HICKMAN SQUAD  - The Thursday 6pm - 7pm session at Aqua Vale is replaced by a Tuesday session at Halton from 7.30pm to 8.30pm.

We are able to offer some flexibility  where families are split between the Grammar and Halton on a Tuesday. Please discuss with Andy if you are in this situation.

Summary of Gibson and Hickman sessions commencing Tuesday 3rd August

AUGUST TRAINING BREAK

The last sessions before the August break take place on Monday 16th August. We resume on Tuesday 31st August. We wish all swimmers and  volunteers a relaxing and enjoyable break. It is certainly deserved!

We have been asked a couple of questions recently regarding fees, and would like to reiterate that the fee requirement is calculated on an annual basis taking into account closure periods (August and Christmas) and the likelihood of other occasional missed sessions. This is then split into 12 monthly amounts for payment purposes. Therefore the August payment should be made as normal. If you have any further queries in this regard, please contact Kathy. Many thanks.

LEARN TO SWIM MONDAY CANCELLATIONS

Additional sessions as replacements for missed Monday sessions due to Bank Holidays will be held on Tuesdays 7th and 14th September at Aylesbury Grammar School from 5pm to 6pm. All swimmers in Learn to Swim on Mondays at Booker Park School are welcome to attend. Please contact Debbie with any queries.

PERSONALISED HATS

Karen has submitted the order for named hats. The delivery time is four weeks. Cost is £8 per hat or £14 if two with the same name have been ordered. If you could let Karen have a cheque payable to ADSC in the next few weeks, distribution of hats will then be much faster and easier once they arrive. Many thanks.

CHILTERN LEAGUE 2010

Well done to all those who took part in the three rounds. ADSC came 4th overall in the competition this year which is an excellent achievement.

BBAT INTER CLUB MEET 19th September 2010

Entry forms for this event are now available from your coach or can be downloaded here. It is an all day event at the Aqua Vale held jointly by ADSC, Thame, Bourne End and Didcot Barramundi who have now joined the BAT group. There are no upper or lower time limit requirements and all eligible ADSC swimmers are welcome to enter, although unavoidably places may be limited in the case of oversubscription.

Events are 50m and 100m all strokes and 100IM. Age groups for award purposes are 9 & Under, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 & Over with age being as of 19th September. Swimmers who are 9 years old by the County Date of 13th March 2011 may enter. Only those girls who are 10 years old and boys who are 11 years old by 13th March 2011 may enter the 100m events, with the exception of the 100 IM.

Medals will be awarded to the three swimmers in each age and event who achieve times closest to the County Accepted times. Those swimming faster than these times, as well as having qualified for Counties, will receive Speeding Certificates and the top six in each event will receive points towards the Top Girl and Top Boy Awards. A Top Club Trophy will be presented to the Club whose swimmers accumulate the most points throughout the day and  there will be an additional Trophy for the Club winning the Canon Relay at the end of the day.

We are going to need a lot of help on the day to ensure the event runs according to plan. Please would  parents willing to help at any session  let Amanda Stockland know. The sessions run from 8.30am - 11.15am, 12pm - 2.45pm and 3.30pm - 6.15pm. Programme of events.
