All swimmers have the responsibility to wear the club colours which are blue and yellow. The kit can be bought at the desk at Westgate on a Friday evening. Please ensure you wear the right kit as this is an important part of the swimming clubs professionalism and team spirit.

CLUB COLOURS MUST BE WORN AT GALAS AND OPEN MEETS.

Club Questionnaire

A club survey is a good way to find out how swimmers feel about the club. Therefore a questionnaire is going to be handed out to all swimmers within the club so that we can get some useful information on how we can improve the club and to give you the chance of telling us what things you would like to change. This is designed solely to get a true reflection of any expectations you have. Please take a few minutes to answer the questions and when you have completed it there will be a box situated at the registration desk for you to pop it in. Alternatively hand it to a member of the committee. The final day for returning the questionnaire form is MAY 30TH.

Signing in to Register

EVERYONE WHO SWIMS ON A FRIDAY AND MONDAY, MUST SIGN IN AT THE REGISTRATION DESK BEFORE THEY SWIM.

THE WESTGATE MUST HAVE A NOTE OF ALL SWIMMERS WHO ARE WITHIN THE BUILDING FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY REASONS AND EVERY PERSON MUST BE ACCOUNTED FOR WHETHER THERE MIGHT BE AN EMERGENCY. PLEASE DO NOT FORGET AS YOU MIGHT BE THE FOGOTTEN ONE AND MIGHT CAUSE AN UNNECESSARY AMOUNT OF TIME TO EVERYONE ELSE.

Club Bags

There are new club rucksacks and holdalls available to purchase at very reasonable prices at the registration desk at the Westgate These will be in club colours and will be very useful when swimming at galas and open meets. Please see one of the girls behind the desk for any further information.

Sussex County Championships

Nine swimmers took part in the Sussex County Championships held at K2 Crawley in February and March this year. There was some very good PBs by all the swimmers taking part, Ross Legg, Alexander Lill, Ben Lyon, Izzak Rosser, Rory Sellwood, Anna Turner, Jacob West and Molly Whatmore. George Laney achieved a regional time.

This was superb effort by all of them under what was some very tough competitive clubs.

Hopefully more swimmers will be able to achieve county times and swim next year due to the increasing hard work put in by the swimmers and the coaches,

WELL DONE TO ALL OF YOU

Schools Gala

The annual schools gala was held at the Westgate Leisure Centre a couple of weeks ago where five schools from the Chichester area took part, Jessie Younghusband, Central, Bosham, Slindon, Parklands and West Dean. The swimmers put on a fantastic show and the noise was almost unbearably loud in what was an exciting all round gala. Jessie Younghusband just beat Central to win the trophy which was presented to them by the Mayor of Chichester accompanied by the Chairman of Chichester Cormorants, Chris Levitt. All swimmers won rosettes and these were handed out by Alex Lill and Sophia Laney Junior Captains.
