J.C Dobb Rnd 1 26/01/2013

On Saurday at Sutton,we came second on the night in the first round of the 2013 J.C Dobb competition, just 8 points behind first, but had five swims too fast for the cut off so losing 25points 

Well done to all the swimmers.

Special mentions to Matthew Shipley for getting his Pink T Shirt to become our youngest winner of that special award and two first places,  to the nine year olds Will Moore, Alex Cooke, Jessica Shephard, Lauren Shipley and Chloe Cheetham who won all their
Relay events, to Jade Duffy, Gemma Calder, Daniel Knowles, Robert Smith, Elise Yorston, Jessica Shephard and Lauren Gill for their individual first places and in Laurens case, standing in at the last moment.
Also deserving a special mention are Sophie McKeown, Caladesi Rose and Tyler Meads who just had relay events last night but never complained.

iphone app

Hello,

I am a parent with two children in the Trojans swimming club in Dublin, Ireland.

I am also a software developer and have created a couple of iPhone/iPad apps that your members might find useful. These apps are currently for sale in the app store, but I have a number of promotional codes available that can be used to download the apps for free.

The apps are:

- Swim PB: This app can be used to record and organise swimmers Personal Best times (several swimmer's details can be entered, so this would be useful for both individuals and coaches/parents)

- AG Swim: This app can be used to convert Long Course Metres to Short Course Metres (and vice versa)

If you, or any of your members would be interested in this offer then please get back to me,

Regards
