Training Sessions w/c 12 April & Club Code of Conduct
1st April 2021
It’s nearly time to get back in the water.
A new Health Questionnaire will be posted out to all members and must be completed before anybody is allowed to return to the water.
Covid safe protocol procedures will be resent and be in line with our previous rules – remembering also the need to have a mask on, when entering the building and all communal areas.
The proposed swimming timetable is also provided here, so you can start to plan your kit bag (though suspect it’s been ready to go for a while). For junior water polo, sessions will again be on a Saturday evening, starting 17 April between 7 and 9:15.
For senior Water Polo and Swimmers, sadly, the Government rules mean a return to Club training is still a little while off, scheduled for [not before] w/c 17 May.
Consultation – Association Merger
The three local aquatic associations – Bolton & District, Central Lancashire and Manchester & District are proposing a merger. This would lead to a significant change in how our sports are organized in the future, mainly around competition and a reduction in administration.
Their consultation document is available here and we welcome member feedback either via our club or directly to John Entwistle who’s contact details are noted in the consultation.
Tuesday Morning ZOOM training – from 9 March
With you all returning to school next week (8th March), we will start ZOOM land training on Tuesday morning’s from 6am. Session will remain one hour and run 6-7am. We hope we have as many of you join us from that slightly earlier time to set up your day back at school.
Club AGM
The Club’s 2021 AGM will take place on 23rd March at 7pm via ZOOM. All members aged 18+ and/or parents/guardians of junior members are invited to attend.
After we postponed the 2020 AGM until September last year due to Covid restrictions, we revert back to March for 2021. Nomination form for committee, draft agenda and minutes from the 2020 meeting can be found on the calendar entry for 23rd March here
If you are interested in joining the committee we currently have a vacancy – you must be proposed by a member and seconded. The Nomination form will be used by us to record the nomination, but as we are working remotely this year, please send in nominee name, proposer and seconder to stretfordasc@yahoo.co.uk
Suggested Sets if swimming
From Tom and mostly targetted at the older swimmers, these sets may be useful if you have access during our closure, to a pool outside of Trafford.
Time Trials 2 – Results
With Lockdown 2 announced on Saturday, we brought forward our Time Trials from 8th November to multiple sessions on 1st, 3rd and 4th November. More superb swimming under covid secure conditions brough many more PBs for our swimmers. It was a shame we had to bring it forward, as we hoped to have run TT2 under Category X competion rules, but sadly, we will have to wait for a future event.
The swimmer times for each group appear below:
Zoom Land Training
Our online diary had just been updated for the new swimming timetable before Lockdown 2 was announced. Rather than update this to show our Zoom sessions, please take note of the program below.
Please follow your group sessions and aim to attend at least the number of sessions you attended each week.
