A great morning of swimming at Essex Champs which has seen Eva, Thomas, Kaya, Steph, Emily and Isabel all make finals with Ella R, Joe and Abigail making reserve final places 🏊‍♂️💪👍

Great to see some of our youngest squad members competing at the Essex Championships last weekend. Our girls relay team were presented with awards for a top 10 finish 👌🏊‍♂️🐊 #swimming #walthamforest #london

Some outstanding performances from Essex Champs so far have come from Joe Garfield, Amy Allison, Amy Wright, Ella Pemberton, Thomas Chittock and Eva Murray who have all PB'd in 10, 9, 8, 7, 7 & 6 events respectively. We've had 38 finalists so far, 1 weekend to go! 🐊🏊‍♂️

Another successful Half Term Swim Camp took place last week. 15 swimmers chose to increase their training hours and work on making improvements to their strokes over half term 👍. Great to have Club Captain Ella R and Performance Swimmer (now qualified coach) Olivia leading camp.

“We understand the frustration of those who have been training hard for our national competitions but the health and wellbeing of our athletes, coaches and volunteers is of paramount importance to us..." Swim England statement regarding forthcoming events ⬇️

After tonight's government announcement we are consulting with experts and will confirm the status of our activties tomorrow morning, once we have been able to consider all of the facts and eventualities.

Looking forward to this!

Gators Swimmers please join us on Instagram at 6pm on Thursday 30th April as we welcome Double Olympic silver medalist and Commonwealth Champion Jazz Carlin to come and chat with the Gators team.

Thanks again Jazz Carlin for taking the time out to speak to us. I'm sure our swimmers have been inspired by your words. For our swimmers who want to check out the platform Jazz has created to help swimmer development go to swimwithjazz.co.uk 👍🏊‍♀️

We stand with George Floyd and the Black community. We have a responsibility to speak out against racism and inequity, which has no place in society. We hope all our members and Swim England competitors are with us on this one. We are all stronger together 🙏🏻 🙏🏼 🙏🏽 🙏🏾 🙏🏿

We at Swim England London stand with the black community against racism in all its forms. Diversity makes our sport better. We will continue to work to make our sport a welcoming place for all our athletes, coaches and volunteers. #BlackLivesMatter #OneTeam
