Leander is a family-friendly, competitive swimming club where hard work and commitment count.
We’ve made a few changes to our website so that important things like training session times are on the home page. There are still a few things to add, so please bear with us during the transition.
Congratulations to all of our swimmers who’ve qualified for this year’s Surrey County Championships. In total we have 44 swimmers competing this year – we’d like to wish them all the very best of luck, especially all the first-time qualifiers, as they prepare for the galas which take place during February and March. Click here for a full list of swimmers and their events.
Please could all squad members keep the date of the relays free if possible (18th March) as we’d like to give as many swimmers the chance to compete as we can – relay teams will be announced soon.
Congratulations to Performance swimmer, Ross Dibblin, who will be competing at the Olympic trials in March in the 100 and 200 breaststroke. We wish him the very best of luck.
Lots of fantastic performances including a disability class British Record for Kahoru (Karl) Harazawa of Wandsworth in the 800m free. The meet results are available here.
For this meet all swimmers swam in the age group in which they would swim in the Surreys (age on 18th March). If you have a “Q” next to your result, you have qualified for the Surreys in that event – congratulations! The meet was a time trial, so no medals or awards this time.
The pre-Christmas flurry of galas is in full swing with Leander swimmers competing at Guildford, Black Swan, Haslemere and the London Regionals in the last two weekends. For many swimmers these have been the first open meets of the season, giving them a chance to see if their training’s on track as well as gaining valuable experience and all-important Surrey times.
