We are slowly coming up  to once again our Christmas Sprint Meet at Ponds Forge,

In Past years all the Children participating have during the Lunch Break taken part in Dancing at the side of the pool and all visiting teams have also joined in.  It proved to be great fun and was enjoyed by all.

 

One of our kind parents has put me in contact with a Dance Teacher who has kindly agreed to give a couple of hours free to help any interested parties put a few routines together.  It would be at a Dance Studio in Town so we would all have to get together there.  If there are any interested people young or old who would like to participate in this and bring some fun into the lunch hour would you please let me know as soon as possible so i can arrange with the Teacher. I will also try and get a area after the initial routines are sorted to practice if there are enough interested.

 

Any ideas for music to dance to as well would be appreciated, jf you or your child would be interested in this could you please either see me at any of the Training Sessions or email me, at volunteers@bobsc.co.uk

 

Kind Regards

BOBSC Bulletin: Matlock and District Meet

Hi all,

It was a very successful weekend again for the borough of barnsley swimming club, this time a team of 14 swimmers competing at the level 3 Matlock and district event.

The team managed 31 personal best times, 9 golds, 10 silvers, 2 bronze medals along with 14 placed 4th to 10th positions.

At the end of the day after a long afternoon session, Libby turner successfully made the girls skins event from her 200im swim.

The skins events are based on a 50m sprint swam within a 2 minute turnaround time. The judges select the strokes and all swimmers race off to gain a position in the next round (total of 7 races). The slowest swimmer is eliminated from the event.

After just coming out of the 100m free Libby went on to win 5 out of the 7 rounds and the first place prize of £50!

From all of the borough of barnsley team I would like to say a very big well done to everyone who took part at the meet and a huge thank you to team manager on the day Craig lee.


An excellent result for all the swimmers!

Go team BOBSC
