On Thursday 3rd September 2015 approx 22 members and friends enjoyed SMSC’s inaugural ‘summer gathering’ … which we plan to build on next year (…although can someone please book the sunshine for us?). Richard and Janice Searle spent the previous day preparing three tasty curries (a cauliflower, potato and French bean vegetable curry, chicken and chickpea Korma and a fiery chicken Madras) for the 28 swimmers, partners and children who had shown an interest in our ‘open water swim meets Eastern promise’ concept.

Following enquiries from a number of members we have now started publishing some of the plans from past training sessions on a new section - Session Plans . We’re not guaranteeing that every session plan will make it on to the website but if you’ve just finished a great session and feel that members could really benefit then ask the coach if they could e-mail a copy to the website (see Contact Us) and we’ll do the rest.

Hello Everyone Just to let you know that the session on Wednesday 8th is cancelled as we have no life-guard cover, Sorry for any inconvenience, Mark
