Important Notice To All Members

First of all thank you for the offers of support that we have received this week, it is very much appreciated.  We have met this week with another coach who will be joining us to coach alongside our existing team. Cameron visited the club on Wednesday so you may have seen him poolside getting to know our other volunteers and familiarizing himself with the club set up. He is keen to start but due to the usual paperwork it may be a couple of weeks before you see Cameron on poolside coaching.

Committee member and swimmer parent Kay, is going to do her Level 1 coaching qualification next month and another parent has kindly volunteered to become a poolside helper and progress to assistant teacher.

The coaches and committee met this evening as due to our continued success at events along with Kev Hope and Jon Cheshire both leaving the club this week, covering poolside has been problematic for the next two weekends.

Saturday 22nd October  Due to our coaches being at the Yorkshire’s this weekend we are unable to provide a safe level of cover for training so unfortunately training for all apart from masters will be cancelled on Saturday morning.

Sunday 30th October Due to the club having over 30 swimmers at the Halloween Meet we are unfortunately having to cancel the training session 5-7pm. Training 4-5pm on 30th October will be on as normal.

We thank Jon and Kev for their commitment to the club and wish them well. Looking forward we can’t see any other dates that would be problematic especially when our volunteer base is increasing and as a committee and coaching team, we are eager to continue the club’s success.

The team is the fastest combination of swimmers, per age group, chosen in consultation with members of the coaching team and final approval from the Head Coach.
All swimmers attending the gala will swim in at least one event. We have tried to include as many swimmers as possible based on PBs but please let us know if a swimmer would rather not attend if they are swimming in only one event. Please arrive wearing swimming costumes if possible to limit use of the changing rooms.
Thank you so much to everyone from our club who has already, and continues to volunteer to support these galas – they can’t run without you. Please let us know if you are available to help with any roles (officiating, timekeeping, coaching) for the 10th.
If swimmers need to leave the poolside for any reason please tellyour coaches where you are going. Wear your club kit and cap if possible. Bring something to eat (snacks – fruit, nuts, etc.), an extra towel, a bottle of water/plenty to drink, spare goggles and a hat if you have them and if you take medication please make sure you
have this with you. Loads more info here about what you might need especially if this is your first gala.

Congratulations Eliza Hammond – National Qualification :)

Congratulations to Eliza Hammond who has qualified for the British Summer Nationals. After many years of hard work in training Eliza has finally achieved one of her goals to reach the Nationals. This is a fantastic achievement which she thoroughly deserves. Eliza has achieved this whilst also studying for her GCSE’s.

Well done Eliza & all who have supported her at Kingfishers to fulfill her dream.

Bridlington Gala Refunds

Bridlington Gala Refunds:

Hello all,

Refunds from entries made for the Bridlington meet will be credited back through Swim Manager accounts.

We have had to refund this way as we do not maintain a record of individual bank details therefore all payments received will be credited by credit note and should now show on your accounts.

If there were any on account outstanding Meet Entry invoices such as for an amended entry to another meet, the credit will have been applied in part to that, but is otherwise available for use against future invoicing.

Any parent wanting a refund by manual bank transfer will need to provide their bank account details to Brian @ admin@kingfishersswimmingclub.org.uk (before Thursday 31st March).

Payment will be processed after the April invoicing has been settled (about 11th April, excepting any hardship cases where the club will have to manually adjust earlier on individual request basis).

Many thanks for everyone’s understanding.

The committee
