It’s that time of year again!

RASCALS Club championships will be held this year on Saturday 16th October and Saturday 20th November 2010.

All RASCALS swimmers are eligible to enter. Entry forms are available to download here, or you can collect your entry form from the club noticeboard. We would appreciate it if you could print off your own copy, as this will reduce costs to the Club!

Completed entry forms should be returned to us by Saturday 2nd October at the latest – please return them sooner if you can. Please note that the closing date for both galas is on this date.

Please speak to one of the coaches if you are not sure which events to enter, they will be pleased to help you.

We would encourage all club swimmers to ‘have a go’ – you never know, you might end up with a trophy!!
 

Landbased training will resume on Thursday 9th September at Ripley Leisure Centre, 6-7pm.

Unfortunately, there will be no landbased training on Tuesdays for the foreseeable future.

If you do not current attend on a Thursday but you interested in coming along, please speak to one of the coaches.

Thank you.

Shona Crump has requested the return of all trophies by the end of September. They can be left at the club desk on Thursdays.

Upcoming dates are: 

Oct 23 - Individual Medley
Jan 22 - Training for Sprints
Feb 19 - Training for Distance
Mar 19 - Training for Middle Distance
 

Registration form available here

In line with most other swimming clubs, RASCALs committee have decided that we should password protect some areas of our website, most notably the 'Personal Bests' section.

Initially, we propose to use a single global username and password, which will be emailed shortly to all club members. The password will also be available on the club's mobile noticeboard.

RASCALS and Derventio eXcel swimmer Molly Renshaw recently competed at the full British Gas ASA National Swimming Championships - and finished a brilliant 4th overall in the 200m breaststroke in a time of 2.35.65. This is a fantastic result for Molly, who only turned 14 in May!

Everyone at RASCALS would like to congratulate Molly - we are very proud of you!

We are very pleased to announce that Jayne Middleton has offered to fill the vacancy on RASCALS management committee created by the departure of Roger Hall in May. Jayne will be co-opted at the next Rascals committee meeting in September, subject to committee approval.

Jayne's daughter Fearn is a RASCALS swimmer.

We are always pleased to hear from anyone who would like to help the Club, either by joining the committee (the next opportunity will be at the AGM in November) or offering help in other ways. Please contact either Chairman Tom Parr or ASA secretary Babs Ingram.

13 year old Hannah Jones recently competed at the National Age Group Championships at Ponds Forge in Sheffield. She finished 6th in the 200m butterfly final in a time of 2.24.56, and 10th in the 100m butterfly in 1.07.74.

She then was part of the Derventio eXcel 4 x 100m medley team who finished in 3rd place overall.

Congratulations Hannah for three brilliant results!
