Dear all

We are hoping to run a blended (online and practical) Assistant (Level 1) Coaching course in September 2017. A blended course means the theory part of the qualification must be done online prior to the start of the practical sessions reducing the amount of time needed to actually attend in person.

If we have a guaranteed 12 names we can register the course at club offer rate reducing the cost considerably from £350 to £233 per person. As a member of a SwimMark accredited club you will also qualify for a Regional support grant of up to 50% of the course cost.

The dates for the face-to-face part of the course at Coventry Leisure Centre, are:

September      Sunday 17^th 9.00-5.30

Friday 22^nd 5.30-9.00

Sunday 24^th 9.00-5.30

We don’t have a start date for online part of the course but it would most probably be 4 weeks prior (mid August).

If you have any-one in your club interested please can you let me have their name and email address by Monday 17^th July.

Kind regards

Helen

Quick reminder that the Summer Break starts on Wednesday 23rd August, and finishes on Monday 28th August. So the last sessions before the break will be on Monday 21st August and we return on Wednesday 30th August. Hope that helps

Becky Gulliver was yesterday crowned ‘Top Girl’ at the Boldmere Water Carnival, for amassing more points over the weekend than any other female swimmer.

Becky’s results were as follows:

• Gold medal in the 100 Free
• Silver medals in the 200 Free, 100 Fly, 50 Back, 200 Back, 400 Free, 200 Fly
• Bronze medals in the 100 Back and 50 Fly
• 5th place in 200 IM and 100 Breast
• 6th place in 50 Breast

Becky medalled in every event to regain the title she first took 2 years ago at the age of 9. Becky also gained club records in the 400 Freestyle and 100 Freestyle.

Well done Becky Gulliver – it shows that the training is paying off!
