We are planning the Club Championships this year on the evenings of Saturday 12, Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 November. They will be held at Monmouth School Sports Club to enable the families of the swimmers to watch the events.

The presentation party will take part on the evening of Saturday 26th November.

Please put these dates in your diaries as this is always an exciting time for all the swimmers and their families.

The Swimming Club sessions run throughout the Summer. The only change is to Sundays when Teaching group will finish at 10.00am and County Squad swim from 10.00am until 11.15am

Please remember to inform us if you are not coming to any of the sessions so we can schedule for poolside staff to also have time off.

Well done EVERYONE – fantastic swims from you all,

Over 100 PB’s from 143 races and stacks of medals coming home, it was a very successful Meet. We hope you all achieved your goals and all that training has been worth it with the amazing results achieved

Great fun was had by all at our annual Bike Ride on Saturday 9 July. Glorious weather, good company and lots of fun – thank you to the many helpers who made it such a success.

The time trials have been very successful and many swimmers have competed in new events and achieved masses of PB’s and new times.

All the times can be found on our noticeboard at the Pool.

At the AGM, the following members were elected to the executive committee:

Chair: Sam Plant

Treasurer: Brian Bradley

Secretary: Lorna Farbowski

We still have spaces on the committee and would welcome some new parents who are interested in the future of the Club.

We are a friendly bunch and it only requires a commitment of a couple of hours once a month, It is also a great opportunity to learn about the running of the Club.

If you are interested, please speak to our reception or email chair@cinderfordsc.com

A fantastic win for Cinderford in the Cotswold League Final B at Pontypool against 5 other teams, with very close racing throughout the excitement was palpable as the competition progressed. With the trophy for the top Club within reach all the swimmers put in solid performances and swam at their best, the atmosphere was buzzing and the noise was deafening at times with all the Clubs cheering their swimmers on.

The swimmers fought hard with the lead changing throughout the gala. It was a much-anticipated announcement that saw Cinderford finally beating worthy opponents Clevedon by just 1 point with Cheltenham Phoenix finishing in 3^rd place, followed by Cheltenham SWP, Burnham and Bristol Penguins. Congratulations to all the swimmers who competed in the final and also the 4 rounds, you all did yourselves and the team credit.

Cinderford also hosted the gala, no mean feat in an unfamiliar pool which is thanks to all the volunteers and officials who helped to make the event run so smoothly.

Final Results:

Cinderford                           204 points

Clevedon                            203 points

Cheltenham Phoenix          182 points

Cheltenham SWP               175 points

Burnham                             157 points

Bristol Penguins                 124 points
