Big Well done to all who took part in this year’s Swimathon

A massive well done to all who took part in this year’s swimathon at Beeches pool on Friday 21/03 and Saturday 22/03.

Andrew Gulliver and Jessica Jones swam the 5K, knocking 5 minutes off last year’s time.

Eleanor Elwell, Becky Gulliver, Ria and Esha Gogna all swam the 2.5K.

Paul and Oliver Bates both swam the mile on the Friday evening.

And Team Super Awsome who also completed their team challenge (Vicky Harris, Libby Jones, Maisy Brenna, Lily and Jo Spencer).

An amazing effort by all of them to raise money for such good causes.

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
