Leicester Diddy League :
On Saturday 11th May we travelled to Enderby for the 2nd round of the Diddy League.  A fabulous
night of swimming from the Diddy Squad saw us win the gala by 52 points.
At the moment we cannot issue the official times that the swimmers achieved due to recording issues on the night.

Volunteers:
The club is still after volunteers to come along and help on poolside.  A lot of the sessions are 'understaffed' and there is a big reliance on just a few people attending. Please help if you can.

Please sponsor Emma

Lane Five squad swimmer Emma Clements is hoping to raise money through a sponsored swim for a schools trip to Malaysia in June. There are around 15 A level students visiting Malaysia as part of their biology studies. They will be studying the bio diversity as well as other impacts to the planet. They will be visiting the Nottingham university campus out there.

There is a sponsorship form at the desk. Please help Emma if you can.

Thanks
