As we get near the end of the school term ready for the summer break some confirmed dates for your diary:
The last weekend of lessons is this week (8th/9th July).
Lessons will start again on the 2nd / 3rd September. As we have had a bit of a disrupted block of lessons this time we will contact everyone to confirm their / groups times for the new swimming year as we towards the end of the summer holidays.
Squads will continue through to July 23rd. The pool closes for a week on the 24th July so we cannot train any longer than this date.
We are hoping to run some Wednesday morning sessions in last 3 weeks of August but will confirm this as soon as we have the pool booked.

Well done to the Island Games swim team in Gotland. Great PB’s all week and medals for the team. Updates from the week available here – https://www.facebook.com/groups/454682691222928/
As we move towards the summer some provisional dates for the diary.
There have been lots of events and activities the last few weeks so the Isle of Wight Sprints and the Seaclose Club Champs will not take place until after the summer break. Club champs are likely to be end October / early November and the IW Sprints fitted around this.
Lessons finish for the summer on the weekend of 8/9 July. Squads will continue until late July. We are looking around 23rd July for the final session. There will be some sessions in August – dates to be confirmed.
Final details will be published here as soon as confirmed.

Kit co-ordinator needed – not too onerous a job and gets you involved with your club and all members/volunteers.
We need someone to take over the kit co-ordination with Kudos (and the lovely Spencer!), keep up to date records of kit we have in stock and order at the relevant times, issuing a polo shirt and hat to any new junior squad member, lifeguard, coaches and that’s really it.
With a club membership of 160 odd swimmers & volunteers if you can help please email clubsecretary@seaclosesc.co.uk
Many thanks
