Solihull Friendly Gala and Happy Birthday Jessica!
Saturday 22nd March was the night of the friendly Mercian League gala, held at Solihull. The night was shared with Jessica Jones, who celebrated her 15th birthday on the same day. The team sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to Jessica, before swimming that night, and enjoyed doughnuts after they had swum! Only two wins on the night, both to Katie Gulliver – for the Open 100m Free and 100m Butterfly, but numerous personal bests. Personal bests on the night went to Jamie Keyte (100 IM), Alfie Williams (50m back), Vinaye Gaddu (100 Breast and 50 free), Chanel Kang (100 back and 100 butterfly), Andrew Gulliver (100 butterfly), Emma Sarling (50 free), Oliver Bates (100 back and 100 free), Harvey Higgins (50 breast), Harvey Kang (50 butterfly), Lucy Keyte (100 free), Sophia Deans (25m butterfly), Lewis Carless (25 butterfly), Sophie Blackwell (100 free) and Meth Mahavithana (100 breast). All of this after several of the swimmers had eaten a birthday meal with Jessica!
All in all a good night for the swimmers, who performed well as a team, and had lots of FUN at the same time!

Please help to stop the closure of Coventry’s 50 meter pool
Coventry’s iconic 50 meter pool is at risk of closure – please read the note below from Adam Ruckwood, Head Coach at Coventry:
Some of you may have heard the news that the council are proposing the close the 50m pool here in Coventry and replace it with a water-park. We are campaigning to try and encourage/force the council to revise their plans and replace it with a new 50m pool. We would really appreciate your help in this!
If you could go to the link below and sign the e-petition we would be very grateful. We also ask that you encourage your club members to do the same – this could potentially secure thousands of signatures and add weight to the campaign.
Many thanks!
Adam
