Bletchley & District Swimming Club took home its first hoard of medals in the Codebreakers’ first Major Open Meet on Sunday 24th September. “It’s amazing,” said Headcoach Ryan on the competition. “Just think how many more medals we could have gained if Meet Organisers hadn’t of ‘slimmed down’ the meet.” “This expectation of more medals and Personal Bests was coming, I think a lot of people could see it. The performances have been there regardless. "That Meet on Sunday showed what we were doing every week in training, focusing on...
The Codebreakers are off the mark! Well done to our swimmers who entered and swam the first Official Meet of the new season. A huge well done to Layla and Luke for entering their first ever Open Meet! A huge number of Official PBs from all our swimmers. A couple of DQs due to a couple of 'slip ups' on the take offs but sometime to remember. This Meet was to say a fond fairwell to the Dunstable SC Headcoach who stepped down last August after a decade of coaching...

It was that time of the year again - our annual splash weekend at Box End Park, Bedford! At least 60 brave swimmers and parents took the plunge into the cold depths of the Box End lakes, only to conquer the obstacle mayhem that inflated before them! We had slides to salmon down. We had poles to meander. We had inflatable planet things to quest. We had parents to pull into the water. We had it all! Bring on the next social this season!

What an amazong night for Bletchley & District Swimming Club. For those who are new to the club who might not know this, this is the first time Bletchley & District SC made it to the Chiltern League FINAL in over 10 years! Not bad considering it's new-ish Headcoach's second stint of the Chiltern League! Facing 5 clubs who have always been at the top of the league for as long we can remember, you would have thought Bletchley had no chance. But that was not the case. With the...
Another awesome night for Bletchley & District Swimming Club at the all-important 2nd round of the Chiltern League 2023. Held at Tiddenfoot Leisure Centre, Leighton Buzzard, this 2nd round was pivotal. If they score enough points the team will move up into the top 6, and so compete in the Winner's gala in Round 3. If they don't, they will be fighting for top spot in the lower half of the league table. But there were a lot of issues that stood in the team's way; reigning champions Bourne End...
