Kingfishers SC – Swimming suspended with immediate effect (18/03/2020)

Kingfishers SC – Swimming suspended with immediate effect (18/03/2020)

We have had a fantastic response from our poolside and dryside helpers and could run training sessions. A massive thank you to all who have selflessly offered to volunteer their time.

However the Club trustees and committee have decided to suspend all swimming until further notice.

The commitee  will meet with E.A. and work out a pathway going forward.
Please bear with us while we work out the financial impact this will have on you as parents and swimmers, and as us as a club.

Please all stay safe and ‘wash those hands’
Go Kingo’s

Kingfishers SC Update – COVID19 (Coronavirus) 16th March

Just a quick update on our current position, the health and safety of our swimmers and volunteers are paramount and are our number one priority.

The situation with Coronavirus is unsettling, fluid and quick moving, as things stand today we are continuing to run all our sessions and we will continue to provide the sessions until instructed otherwise / pool closes.

We are taking all advised precautions and ask that anyone attending our swimming sessions does the same.

Swim England advises swimmers to shower before entering and on leaving the pool.

In addition to minimise risk please can as many parents as possible pay monthly fees by card.

The committee and head coach are continually reviewing the situation.

If there are any changes either in official advice or in our ability to deliver our swimming sessions then we will update members and families as quickly as we can via the club Facebook page and website.

As a registered charity we have concerns over the impact of this situation on the whole Club, our families and friends, but by working together we can get through this short term challenge.

Kingfishers – Yorkshire Championships Review

Kingfishers – Yorkshire Championships Review (February 2020)

The Yorkshire Championships are held over four weekends in February at Pond Forge (Sheffield) & the John Charles Aquatics Centre (Leeds). Swimming at this event is by invitation only & is achieved by swimmers meeting a qualification time whilst swimming at licensed open meets throughout the year. These championships bring together the best swimmers in our county all competing for the kudos of Yorkshires number one swimmer.

Congratulations to the following 9 swimmers who qualified & have been swimming over the last four weekends.

1 Eliza HAMMOND
2 Isobel VASEY
3 David HOPE
4 Thomas EBLET
5 Grace FOX
6 Joseph BENSON
7 Annabel REYNOLDSON
8 Harriet BENSON
9 Lucy MILBURN

This years championships have resulted in some excellent swims with four of our swimmers Eliza Hammond, Tom Eblet, David Hope & Izzy Vasey reaching multiple finals in their respective events, a fantastic achivement from a small club swimming against the bigger city clubs whom have greater access to water time & national level training facilities.

Full summary of results as follows:

 

 

 

Every swimmer performed fantastically & many pbs &, NER qualifying times achieved, but without a doubt the performance of the championships came from Eliza Hammond who took a silver medal in the 14 year girls 50m Backstroke with a new pb time of 31.94s (1 sec off her qualification time).

Well done to everyone who competed & also a big thank you to the coaching & poolside management team for supporting our swimmers over the last four weekends.

Back into training now in preparation for the NER’s in May …….

Go Go Team Kingo’s……
