Dear All
For those that do not already know the club took a team of 14 swimmers to the ever popular Guernsey meet the weekend before last.
Everyone swam very well and as well as winning the top club trophy, Terry Wright also won the 'Top Man at Meet' award. Jane also got maximum points for her 10 events but Esther (isaveryzippy) Iseppi from Switzerland won the ladies award as she had more competition in her age group.
It was a super weekend of swimming, socialising and sightseeing as usual and the weather was perfect. A report on the meet which was published in the Guernsey Press features our own Geoff Bishop giving it his all. The pdf can be accessed on the Events page of the site.
Next years (swimming) event is a bit earlier in the year - Friday 14 - Sunday 16 March, so put it in you diaries now. The Yacht Club is already booked for the Saturday team dinner and Christine is sorting out Les Cotils which will hopefully be available.
For the newcomers, we also took a successful but slightly depleted team to the Isle of Wight in February, another regular venue, where we were 4th visiting club. A number of swimmers also went to the South East Region Long Course Championships in Crawley 24/25 March and all came back with medals. Well done to Gordon on his first Meet. What a one to start with!
Next stop for those not going to Italy is Eastbourne, Sunday 3 June!
Happy Splashing!

King’s Cormorants Masters Swimming Club
Congratulations to all who did the ASA half hour swim, I hope you enjoyed it. Phil will post the results on the board, and will enter our teams into the postal competition.
NOW……are you interested in trying the BLDSA one hour competition? We will be organizing it at the end of February 2007 So your short term aim should be to be able to hold the pace that was so comfortable for half an hour.
Therefore… the January sessions will be set to enable you to do this, but still to keep your sprint ability. The schedules will focus on varying distances at a strong pace, with ever decreasing rest periods. Your job will be to see how to maintain the strong pace.
If you have any particular event next year, like the meet in the Isle of Wight (a very sociable weekend) in February, the long course meet in Crawley , a new South East region two day event, or Guernsey ( a MUST) please let me know. All training sessions can be adapted to suit special individual needs
I hope you have enjoyed this year’s training and competitions, and look forward to all the fun of 2007. Happy Christmas…………JANE
