Introducing our new CLUB CAPTAINS

Gillian Valentine

CONGRATULATIONS to Bourne End's new Club Captains.  

EMILY GRAINGER

My name is Emily and I joined Bourne End in 2016 and have thoroughly enjoyed my 8 years at the club. When I started I was a novice swimmer. With the help and support of the coaches, I now regularly attend county events. Bourne End has given me the flexibility to develop at a pace that is right for me whilst I split my time equally between swimming and tennis. I particularly enjoy sprint events and my favourite strokes are front crawl and butterfly. Whilst the coaches make us work hard I love the fact that swimming here is always friendly, fun and pressure free. 

JACOB COOKE

My name is Jacob, I began swimming at Court Garden and have been at the club for 7 years and have gained a lot from the competitive but friendly atmosphere. The support from the coaches has led me to great improvement in my strokes, especially breaststroke for which I have attended county level events. Besides high level meets like counties, I enjoy the annual club champs competition, which provides a perfect opportunity to race against the friends you train with. Another highlight is the Chiltern league competitions which bring swimmers of all abilities together to contribute to the team's success.
