Halloween Celebrations! On Friday 28.10.2022 over 70 of our swimmers celebrated Halloween and their achievements this term to date with a free inflatable water party and light refreshments organised by Gina, the committee and parents. All young people enjoyed the water inflatables, eating tasty treats, taking selfies at the Halloween wall, and socialising! This has been fantastic to see the young people use Halloween to build positive friendships and team build.
WHAT A NIGHT!!!!!! On Saturday 17th September for the inaugural Octopus Cup Relay Gala South Croydon hosted a busy and noisy gala. With our swimmers prepped and raring to go the team really stepped up to the mark winning 10 of the 30 events and coming second in another 9 events. The noise was deafening at times reaching 103 decibels. All swimmers received their Octopus medals and the very large Cup will be on display at our presentation evening. Well done everyone.
Congratulations to all the swimmers who took part in the final round of Octopus on Saturday night. Some super fast swimming cemented our second place on the night and therefore placed us second in the league. This trophy is for every swimmer who swam during all 5 rounds. Congratulations to you all.
