Calendar Crazy!

Justine and Kate put on their swimming costumes on a cold Monday morning (24th Jan 2011) to sell the 2011 Channeling Positivity Calendar to the staff and students arriving into college that morning. In an hour and a half the girls raised approximately £75 for the Teenage Cancer Trust pot. Well done girls - it was soooo cold!! We still have calendars left to sell - at £2 each such a bargain that lasts all year. Please get in touch if you want one!

Stroke Analysis

This saturday we are going to be doing a lot of work on our technique. Nick has secured us a spot each on his Stroke Workshop at Southglade Leisure Center in Nottingham. There will be an hour of swimming where video of our stroke will be taken, followed by an hour of looking at the videos and discussing possible improvements .. and then back in the pool again to work on the points raised.

Our aim through this is to obtain the most efficient stroke possible. When swimming the Channel, any tiny thing that you can do to make life easier is worth having a bash at!
