Would you like to train to be a judge level 1?

You will need to go on a course, take a timekeeping assessment, then attend several galas as an ‘official in training’.

Dave Marsh will be running a J1 course shortly – if you are interested, please either speak to Dave Marsh, or register your interest via volunteer@perrybeechesswimming.co.uk.

EASYFUNDRAISING – an easy way to raise funds for PBSSS

An Easy Way To Raise Funds

Do you shop online? Did you know that every time you buy something you could be raising money for Perry Beeches Sutton Swim Squad?

That’s right – over 2400 well known retailers including Amazon, M&S, Boden, Waitrose, House of Fraser, Vodafone, Virgin Atlantic and many more, will donate a percentage of what you spend to Perry Beeches Sutton Swim Squad! when you shop with them, via fundraising website easyfundraising.org.uk

An Easy Way To Raise Funds

It’s like nectar but instead of earning points, each purchase generates a donation. So instead of going directly to a retailer’s website, go to easyfundraising first and choose the retailer you want to shop with – then everything you spend with that retailer earns a free donation for Perry Beeches Sutton Swim Squad. It’s completely free to use and your shopping won’t cost you a penny more.

On average, each retailer will donate 5% of the cost of your shopping – and those donations soon mount up.

So whatever you need to buy, from your weekly grocery shop or fashion must-have, to your business travel, office supplies or mobile phone, buy it via easyfundraising and raise money for Perry Beeches Sutton Swim Squad at no extra cost to you!

Pingles Aqualthon – Congratulations to all who took part

A big well done to Sophia Deans, Jessica Deans, Jessica Jones and Katie Gulliver who all took part in the Pingles Junior Aqualthon on Sunday 23rd June. All of them swam well in the pool, but outside was slightly more interesting!

It was a wet and windy day, which made the running a little more difficult. Due to Sophia’s super fast swim, she was left to run round the track by herself, which for 8 year old Sophia was an experience. Jessica Deans came second in the girls 10/11 year olds, whilst Jessica Jones came first, and Katie Gulliver second, in the girls 14/15 year old age group.

All good experience – why not have a try yourself at the next Aqualthon?

Here are the results from this Aqualthon:
