AGM

The AGM will be held on Tues­day 18th May at 8:00pm at Dun­bar Leisure Pool.  We really need your help to keep the club run­ning.  Please come along to find out what you can do to help out either on a reg­u­lar or one-off basis.  We always wel­come new com­mit­tee mem­bers.  This year we are intro­duc­ing a new ini­tia­tive to have rep­re­sen­ta­tives for each of the three club ses­sions and we will need peo­ple to fill these roles.  There will also be oppor­tu­ni­ties for peo­ple to pur­sue qual­i­fi­ca­tions in coach­ing and life-guarding through our vol­un­teer scheme.  Cheese and wine will be served.

SPONSORED SWIM

This year’s spon­sored swims will be held on Mon­day 31st May and Thurs­day 3rd June.  Last year we raised over £600 for Friends of Bel­haven Hos­pi­tal.  This year we will be rais­ing money for the East Loth­ian Playscheme and RNLI.

CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS

The club cham­pi­onships were a great suc­cess with some fan­tas­tic swims from swim­mers of all ages and abil­i­ties.  It’s great to see all those tak­ing part get­ting so much out of this.  We would remind all the win­ners to get tro­phies engraved.

BBQ

Our annual sum­mer BBQ will be held at John Muir Coun­try Park on Sun­day 20th June.  This is a fun-filled fam­ily event and what bet­ter way to cel­e­brate Fathers Day!

PUBLIC HOLIDAYS

There will be no swim­ming club on Sat­ur­day 1st May, Mon­day 3rd May (May Day), Sat­ur­day 15th May or Mon­day 17th May.

POOLSIDE HELP

Could all par­ents please try to make sure they carry out their rota duties both at the pool­side and at the sign­ing in desk.  The club depends on you help!  We’d also wel­come any help set­ting up lane ropes at the start of ses­sions to make sure all the ses­sion one swim­mers get in the water at 6pm.

FOR SALE

We keep a small sup­ply of gog­gles, hats, nose clips, water bot­tles and DASC tee-shirts / sweat­shirts for sale.
