What a good sport
At the Warwickshire County Championships, three young swimmers – Pia Tonks, Sancha Tonks and Jessica Deans said to the Head Coach of Perry Beeches SSS, Dave Marsh – “if we all do a personal best time on the 50m Butterfly will you come into swimming dressed as a woman?” To which Dave replied “Yes”…….so here is Dave dressed as a woman – what a good sport Dave Marsh is.
Perry Beeches SSS Receives Swim21 Accreditation
Perry Beeches SC is celebrating securing swim21 accreditation for a second time – the national benchmark of excellence from the ASA, the national governing body involved in every element of swimming.
The club has achieved the swim21 award for Swimming at Teaching and Masters level.
Swim21 accreditation is the ASA’s ‘Quality Mark’ for clubs and the ASA’s way of ensuring every athlete – whatever their age or level of experience – belongs to a club that provides the best possible support and environment.
Specifically it’s about putting the swimmers first and ensuring young athletes are following the pathway the ASA recognises for training and competition (via the principles of Long Term Athlete Development).
Jennifer Powell, Perry Beeches Swim 21 Coordinator, said: “Working towards Swim 21 has been a challenging and really useful exercise for the Club. It has encouraged us to look at and improve our policies and practices and to focus on giving our swimmers the best possible experience.”
David Sparkes, the ASA’s Chief Execuive, said: “There is a great deal of hard work involved in getting swim21 accreditation and it is a real credit to the club’s committee and staff that they have managed to achieve such high standards. They are leading by example and deserve many congratulations.”

Time trials this week
There will be time trials taking place during normal lesson times over the coming week. This is to help the coaches prepare the teams going out in the next few weeks, and to see how the swimmers are progressing against previous personal best times. So don’t be surprised if you see a stop watch come out, or are asked to come down to do some timekeeping – you have been warned 🙂
