In order for Club Champs/May Sprints events to run smoothly, South Axholme Sharks need a number of volunteers.
If you can help in anyway please speak to member of the committee or sign up on the noticeboard.

May Sprints are a fun way to find out how a swim gala works. The galas are open to all swimmers of South Axholme Sharks, and all swimmers are encouraged to enter.

Over the two galas, 13 events will be swam for both boys and girls, the aim of the gala is for swimmers to put what they do in training into practice. Personal Best Times (PB'S) are what the swimmers are looking at, and if they can smash a club record along the way thats' even better.

Venue : Epworth Swimming Pool.
Entry fee : £3 per Gala ( not per swim as per other galas).
Gala 1 : 4th May 2019
Gala 2 : 18th May 2019
Warm up : 2pm (both Galas)
Closing Date: 24th April 2019 ( both Galas), no late entries will be accepted.

We still have some unclaimed raffle prizes from Friday night, if you bought raffle tickets but did not check them on the way out please see any member of the committee.

Thank you to everyone who helped and supported our Easter Fun Night, as usual there were fun games, lots of noise and chocolate eggs for all who took part.
Special Thanks go to Pete Smith who is the brains behind the games and controls poolside on the evening, but with out helpers the event would not run smoothly.

CONGRATULATIONS to the winning team :
Charlotte Wilson, Joanna McCallum, Emily Gravel,
Amelia Wilkinson, Louis Craighill, Rohan Addlesee,
Matthew Bond and Oliver Craighill.

As part of our fundraising for the Easter Fun Night we are selling squares for a gigantic chocolate OSTRICH EGG. The winner will be announced at Fun Night Friday the 5th April.

Squares are £1 each, but are limited, and are on sale from Monday 1st April at 6pm.

If you are planning on coming to fun night but haven't already signed up, you have until Monday 1st at 9pm to do so.

The club has purchased a number of Stretch Bands, to assist swimmers with their poolside warm ups, general strength and conditioning. Bands are available in different strengths of resistance depending on squad.

Head Coach Stuart would like as many swimmers as possible to use the bands, and is planning a session in the sports hall on how to use them properly and to get the most out of them. Date to be confirmed.

They are available now from Stuart or a committee member for a returnable fee of £5. ( Repaid once the bands are returned).
If you would like more information please speak to Stuart.

If your child has been promoted to the next training squad, you will need to amend your training fee, likewise if your child increases the number of session that they attend.

Also if your child enters an Open Meet then they must be ASA (Swim England) Cat 2 before the event, you can upgrade this at the pool reception.
