Over the weekend of  8th & 9th June, 11 of our Young Talents competed at the National Junior Para Swimming Championships at The Alan Higgs Centre in Coventry. 
Chloe Farrington, Bethany Gamble, Charlotte Gower, Ellie Graham, Katy Wun, Freya Chipperfield, Martynas Kazakevicius, Thomas Harvey, Gregor Craig, Angus Donald & Nathan Carrington made the trip from all areas of the UK to represent GB Deaf Swimming at the event. 
Across the weekend they took part in multiple events each competing in Heats & Finals  and also as a Team in the multi-classification Relays. 
Everyone of them can be extremely proud of their  swims with some excellent stand out performances, but equally proud of their poolside conduct in representing  GB Deaf Swimming. The organisers praised our swimmers attendance at the event, in-particular their  awareness in being ready to compete and relaxed attitude whilst waiting for their event. Chairman Dave  Carrington said "it was an absolute pleasure to spend my time with all of them on poolside and watch them showcase their obvious talent"
Well done  to ALL the swimmers and thank you to the families too for their continued support !!​

Hi everyone,
 
I do hope this e-mail finds you fit & well.
 
It really has been such a long time since we all got together that I think we will be in for some shocks, particularly with some of the younger swimmers that are probably not that small anymore! But that is exactly what this e-mail is about – the possible return to a GBDSC Weekend.
With everything around us now moving out of restrictions I am hoping we can get together later this year. All though for some Training has been now back up and running for a little while and they may have even competed at Gala’s, the ability to meet has still been something we have had to patiently wait for.
 
So what I would like from you all is some feedback as to where you are currently up too with everything swimming related and also your thoughts on us hosting a Training Weekend 😊
 
Here in York – Nathan has been fortunate to have been back in Training for since mid-April and has since been able to attend a couple of Gala’s albeit with no spectators and the Club have held several Level X events. From next week we are introducing parents back into pools to be able to watch training which to be fair won’t be many with the older kids but is a huge step for our younger swimmers in the Teaching section.
 
If you can send me some similar details to the above asap and also let me know if you are ready to attend a Training weekend I would really appreciate it and this will allow us to start organising a weekend for later this year. I also know that Martin would like to know how everyone is doing with their training etc. so he can organise the Training schedules & relevant squads.
 
I look forward to your replies and even more to the possibility of a Training weekend/ Social gathering 😊
 
Kind Regards
Dave
