Emma Wilkins has been selected to compete at the Tri-Nations meet in Quebec. Two swimmers from the West Midlands have been selected to compete at the Tri-Nations meet in Quebec. Chris Fox (Wolverhampton / Off Shore) and Emma Wilkins (Chase / Plymouth Leander) will join a squad of forty up and coming British swimmers who will take on teams from France and Canada from 1st - 3rd August. The Tri-Nations event will showcase many of the junior talents from the three participating nations who will be targeting the London 2012 Olympics in four years time. Having the opportunity to swim against world athletes at a junior level as the country prepares for the Olympics will be of great value to the relatively inexperienced members team who are joined by more experienced individuals.

To
everyone at Chase Swimming Club
Can I say how touched I was to receive the cards and gifts from swimmers and parents at my last session on Monday 23rd July. I think I have been teaching, coaching, timekeeping, judging and starting for seven years at Chase. The drink and chocolates will soon be consumed but the great memories will last a great deal longer. I’m pleased if some swimmers feel that I have helped them but to be honest I am the lucky one. The number of times I have come over to teach, perhaps not in the best of moods, and I have been cheered up by some lovely smiling face. Teaching can be the most rewarding of “jobs” and so many of the young swimmers at Chase offer the best reward a person can get.
Thanks to you all and good luck. I’ll keep checking results for the names that I know.
Trevor

Chase Swimmer selected for the UK School Games. Congratulations to Emma Wilkins who has been selected to take part in the UK School Games to be held at Coventry on 23rd to 27th August 2007. The UK School Games is a multi-sport event for the most talented teenagers across the United Kingdom. The huge success of the inaugural UK School Games in Glasgow in 2006 has resulted in the event receiving funding to extend its competition to 2011. The 2007 Games has expanded
to feature 1300 athletes competing in eight sports - athletics, badminton,
fencing, gymnastics, judo, swimming, table tennis and volleyball including
disability events in athletics and swimming. In each sport both male
and female competitors will participate in a one age group category
as agreed and selected by the sports. Each of the eight sports will
be combined into a 4-day programme in an environment designed to replicate
the feel of a large multi-sport event such as an Olympic and Paralympic
Games with, in addition to the competition itself, the experience
of an opening and closing ceremony and Athlete Village. Swimming Further details can be
found via the following link. |
