Summer Training - Squad Specific Sundays

Posted by Stuart on 31 July

During the summer we are proposing to hold 3 Sunday morning sessions tailored towards working on specifics ready for the start of the season in September. The sessions will run from 07:00 - 09:00 prompt.

Sunday 11th August - Reef Squad
Sunday 18th August - Mako Squad
Sunday 1st September - Great White Squad

It will still be possible for other members to come and swim during this time but it will be in a single lane

Training continues over the summer

Posted by lisa on 27 July

Training sessions remain the same over the summer school holidays, although some sessions may be more relaxed, this will be determined by the number during the training session and the temperature.

Though it may seem impossible, swimmers experience dehydration too. Even as their bodies are completely immersed in water, they sweat if they are training vigorously. Unfortunately, since sweat is not noticeable in the water, many swimmers do not realize they can dehydrated.

	Reef	Mako	Gt White	Basking
Monday	18:00 - 18:45	18:45 - 19:30	19:30 - 21:00	21:00 - 22:00
Wednesday	17:00 - 18:00		18:00 - 19:30
Thursday	18:00 - 18:45	18:45 -19:30	19:30 - 21:00
Friday	18:30 - 20:00			20:00 - 21:30
Sunday	07:00 - 09:00

Remember: if you pay for one swim per week you can attend any one of the training sessions for your squad; If you pay for 2 swims a week you can attend ALL the training sessions for your squad.

You do not need to notify anyone if you change your usual training session, but if you increase the number of training sessions you need to amend your payment.

Check the noticeboard and website as there may be focus sessions put on over the summer.

Grace's Success at Water Polo

Posted by Sally on 19 July

As a club South Axholme Sharks would like to send our congratulations to club member Grace Kaye.

Grace began swimming with Sharks many years ago, competing on a regular basis, this led to her taking an interest in the sport of water polo. Soon after Grace joined City of Sheffield Water Polo club and has gone on to be very successful.
Grace's recent achievements include selection for the English schools team following ESSA trials along with her Sheffield team mate Maddie, this will see them compete in Hungary in October.
This year Grace also captained the 2003 National Age Group to become the best team in the country and take Gold, along with the lovely trophy in the photograph.
On top of all this we still see Grace training with Great Whites.

This success shows how swimming can take you in another direction.

Well done Grace !!!!!!
