Congratulations Mandy Blizard – Silver Winner ASA Volunteer of the Year

Mandy BlizardPerry Beeches SSS Swimming Club want to offer our huge congratulations to Mandy Blizard on attaining a second placed ‘Silver Award’ in the National ‘Volunteer of the Year’ category from the ASA (Amateur Swimming Association) at the ASA Aquatics Awards. Mandy had already won the West Midlands Regional ASA title in September this year, and at a ceremony last Saturday was awarded the National Silver trophy for all her amazing volunteer work for the Swimming Club. We could hardly survive without Mandy and other volunteers who give of their time and talents so freely. There are many tasks that Mandy willingly applies her skills, from Swimming Coach to Secretary of the Club Committee, including numerous voluntary hours which include all Communications both with the local press and our social media outlets as well as looking after the website management.
I know that many swimmers, parents and committee volunteers would want to join me in expressing not only congratulations but our love and sincere thanks.

Chairman, Perry Beeches SSS Swimming Club

Well done to Katie and Jamie at the Short Course Midlands

NottinghamA big Beeches well done to Jamie Keyte and Katie Gulliver, two of our Seniors who made the journey to Nottingham on Sunday for the Midlands Short Course Championships, which this year was held in the newly opened pool at Nottingham – a 50 meter pool that can be split for competitions with a boom.

For Jamie, it was his first Midlands meet, and managed a personal best time in the 50 Freestyle.

Katie was just outside her time on the 50 Butterfly, but enjoyed the occasion.

Well done to both – lets get a few more of you there for the long course championships next year swimmers!!

Handsworth Shut Tonight 29/10

Handsworth Baths have informed us that they have a problem with the large pool today – therefore all lessons (Beginners Lengths, Advanced Lengths, Junior Squad, Seniors and Masters) are cancelled for tonight.

Still planning on having the lessons (and sessions) on as normal next Monday and Thursday – and then the first ‘moved session’ to Beeches Pool will be on Monday 9th November – seniors and Masters at 8pm.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Advanced Lengths Time trials

We time the children from time to time – to show us how the children are improving, and also to help us when submitting the children into the Christmas Gala.

Results from this weeks Advanced Lengths Time Trials are in the ‘Members Section’ under ‘Time Trials‘.
