Club Championship Rules 2012 The dates for Club Champs 2012 are as follows:

7th March
20th June
19th September
12th December

Warm up 18.00 hrs for 18.30 start. There are no training sessions on these dates.

Entries for our first club champs of this year (7th March) can be made with Linda in the cafe from 8th February onwards.

The committee and coaches have decided to change the criteria for the overall trophies for this year's club champs.

Everyone who swims in a race will receive 1 point, in addition the 1st placed swimmer will receive 6 points, going down to 1 point for 6th place. The winner will therefore receive 7 points. At the end of the year trophies will be awarded for the overall 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed boy or girl in each age group based on points. These trophies will be presented at the annual club presentation evening.

Trophies will no longer be given at the awards evening for induvidual wins as we feel these swimmers will have already been rewarded with a medal at the time of the race.

We hope this change will encourage more swimmers to "have a go" in all events as 1 point could make all the difference to the leaderboard! It will also recognise the achievements of more swimmers.

There will of course still be trophies for overall senior and junior top boy and girl. If you have any queries please ask a member of the committee.

WOSC Awards Presentation Evening

The annual WOSC Awards Presentation Evening was held on Friday 27th January 2012. Judging by the amount of people on the dance floor, both children and adults, it would seem a good time was had by all at our annual presentation evening/family disco. There was a good turnout with swimmers from all the squads and their families joining in and having a fun time together.

A big thank you to all the parents and children who stayed behind and helped with the clean up, enabling us to finish in record time. We look forward to seeing even more of you next year.

The 2011 WOSC Awards went to:

Junior Top Boy: Ethan Parker
Junior Top Girl: Maddeline Wesley
Senior Top Boy: Charlie Geary
Senior Top Girl: Millie Bach
Sports Personality: Maddi Harvey

Club Captains were named as Ross Smith and Megan Hill

Congratulations to the above swimmers on their achievements.
