Rebecca Adlington Swimming Centre Opens

The Club has made a very welcome return to the refurbished Rebecca Adlington Swimming Centre.

The club were invited to use the new pool on Sunday 3 January as part of the Open Weekend organised by Mansfield District Council.

A vigorous training session to work off the excesses of the Christmas break was run by Head Coach, Ian Negus (Rear), and Boys Team Manager, Dave Carnell (Right). Pictured at the pool is Eileen Guilor (2nd Left), the newly elected President of the Club, Andy Rowbottom (Left) and Lorna Clarke (2nd Right).

If you are interested in joining the Club please come down to one of the training sessions at the Rebecca Adlington Centre and talk to Mick on the door.

As a special introductory offer we are giving new members four free trial sessions before they have to join!

Club President Honoured

Club President Brian Dent has recently been recognized for his long service to the Club and to swimming in general. At the ASA Aquaforce Awards on Saturday 10th October in Stratford-Upon-Avon, he picked up the Aquaforce Long Service Award after being involved with Sherwood Colliery Swimming Club for 64 years. Since qualifying as a swimming teacher in 1967 Brian has joined the Club Committee and acted as Club Chairman, Polo Secretary and Club President for 10 years. He taught on pool side for 40 years and many of our current squad received their early training from Brian.

In addition, he has also been recognized for his contribution by winning a prestigious Torch Trophy Trust award. He received the award for his dedication to the Club and will receive it at a ceremony in London to be held on 16 November.

We are delighted to be back and are looking forward to returning to the Rebecca Adlington Swimming Centre in the New Year!

Situation at Rainworth

We would like to apologize for the situation at Rainworth where, through no fault of the pool staff, we are now unable to use the viewing area.
