Sunday 7th October saw four Beeches swimmers take part in an Olympic event that took place at Tudor Grange in Solihull. The Solihull Aquathlon, organised by Solihull Tri Club, had four Beeches entrants – James Nankervis, who as a 9 year old came 8th out of 16 competitors in the 9/10 category; Jessica Deans, who came 2nd in the 9/10 category; and Jessica Jones and Katie Gulliver, who came third and second respectively in the 13/14 category. For their first attempt, which saw them swim in the pool, run outside bare foot, and put on trainers and T shirt and run, they all did amazingly well. Congrats to all four of them.

 

Perry Beeches Sutton Swim Squad

Train together, WIN together, Have FUN together

Perry Beeches SSS is an established swimming club based in North Birmingham in the West Midlands. The club can be split into the following main sections:

Learn to Swim

Beeches Babes – children from the age of 3 can learn to swim in safety, gaining confidence whilst they do so. Teachers are in the water with the children, to ensure they are happy and having FUN. They will gain badges and certificates through the National Teaching Plan for Swimming. Level 1/2 will be achieved in these classes.

Widths – children in the widths will learn how to swim all four stokes, whilst following the National Teaching Plan for Swimming. Levels 1 through to 5 will be achieved within these classes.

Beginners Lengths – Once all four strokes have been mastered, the swimmer will progress to the ‘deep end’. National Teaching Plan is followed, and level 6 will be achieved in these classes.

Junior Lengths – Progression from Beginners Lengths for the non competitive swimmer.

Competitive Swimming

Diddy Squad – These lengths classes are aimed at the DIDDY age children (8 – 12), who have progressed beyond Beginners Lengths. Stroke Technique will continue, and stamina be increased.

Seniors – Aimed at swimmers 13 and above.

Masters – Can train with the Seniors, or use one of the ‘hourly’ lane training sessions.

Open Water Swimming – Why not have a try?

Channel Swimmimg – Big Rik’s team off soon!
