Squad trials Sunday 19th May

Posted on Fri 19th Apr by

We are holding trials for potential competitive squad swimmers on Sunday 19th May at St Joseph’s College from 5pm to 6pm.  Swimmers should already be able to swim at least 100m of free, back and breast, 50m of fly, be able to tumble turn and to dive from blocks. They should also be fit enough to  keep up with an hour-long session during which ability in all four strokes will be assessed.

Please use the contact form if you’d like to attend as we have limited space and need to know numbers in advance.

Please note this session is NOT for prospective entrants to our teaching academy, for which assessments will take place later this term.

Surrey Relays Report

Posted on Mon 8th Apr by

The true team spirit of Leander showed on Sunday as our teams took part in the final day of the Surreys, the relays. Wearing their waterproof warpaint with pride, our swimmers put in consistently fine performances against the county’s top clubs.

No medals sadly, but several top ten finishes. More importantly, we fielded (pooled?) multiple teams in most of the events, allowing lots of swimmers to get a taste of the county competition atmosphere, and building team spirit for the next round of galas. Well done everyone!

Times and results for all Surrey Champs events.
