It’s that time of year again- new swim season has started, kids are starting to go back to school, open meets and events will be coming think and fast and the weather is definitely starting to feel autumnal. Taking advantage of the last couple of days before school swimming programs start and getting back in the kitchen. Simple homemade tomato soup- warming and lovely with a cheese toastie. Then some oat, seed and dried fruit muffins for that post pool snack #foodisfuel #swim #swimming #swimmingpool #fuelingmyathlete #swadlincote

Tell me you’ve been at an open meet without telling me you’ve been to an open meet! Ready to re-hydrate and refuel and I’ve not even been the one swimming. Spent two really good albeit slightly warm 🥵 days at Ponds Forge for the @rotherham_metro Springtime meet. Bit strange being sat on the other side and not having the desk to work from, however it’s been a great meet for our athletes. Recent training plans and goals being put into place and some competing in their first long course comp so it’s been a mixed bag. Well done Dolphins, good prep for your next meets. #believeintheprocess #swim #swimming #loveswimming #swimmingpool #whatifisaywerenotliketheothers #swadlincote

Good luck this afternoon to the athletes swimming @corby_asc open. #believeintheprocess #swim #swimming #loveswimming #swimmingpool #whatifisaywerenotliketheothers #swadlincote

This weekend we travelled over to @sandwell_aquatics_club for their long course open meet. A great opportunity for our athletes to swim in the Commonwealth Pool- thank you for hosting, looking forward to coming again. Well done to all our athletes smashing process goals and for the clock watchers a few PBs as well!! #believeintheprocess #swim #swimming #swimfamily #swimmingpool #whatifisaywerenotliketheothers #swadlincote

This weekend saw Swadlincote Swimming Club Spring Open Meet over in Matlock. A 2 day event and only our second time hosting one- lots to learn over the weekend not only in the pool but the running of an event. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make it possible. And thank you also to the clubs who attended and gave their support in particular Etwall Eagles, who not only donated raffle prizes they also ensured the control room ran smoothly. Thank you. Not forgetting the athletes- a big well done to all the taking part- brilliant to see some new faces starting their competitive journey. Their smiles said it all, few nerves as well of course but overall a great weekend in the pool. #believeintheprocess #swim #swimming #lovesswimming swimmingpool #swadlincote

Thank you to everyone who supported the sponsored swim and food bank collection. This morning myself and David went down to South Derbyshire CVS with our donations and a cheque for £450. Its very busy in there in the run up to Christmas as you can imagine, and we were both humbled at how much support they provide to the community so thank you to the volunteers who also took the time as well to show us round and talk to us about all the other services they run. #whatifisaywerenotliketheothers #swim #swimming #loveswimming #swimmingpool #swadlincote #smallclubbigheart
