Babble

As the 2024/25 season draws to a close, we’ve got plenty to write about! Since we last shared a newsletter, all of BSSC’s squads have been busy training hard, competing and breaking records.

Our youngest swimmers gave their all at Round 3 of this year’s Peanuts League, finishing as runners-up in Division One. The season finished with nine BSSC swimmers taking on the fastest in the UK at the summer Nationals competitions – returning with four medals between them! Meanwhile, our world-ranking Masters have been setting records and winning multiple medals at the British Masters Championships.

We’d like to wish swimmers, parents and coaches a relaxing summer break, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back to the pool in late August.

We’ve had so much to write about over the past few months! Since our last newsletter in March, BSSC has hosted a fantastic Regional Qualifier with Harlow Penguins, celebrated incredible swims at Long Course meets including the prestigious London Legacy Meet, saw 32 swimmers qualify for Regionals… before achieving the most successful Regional Championships on record. But, the season’s not finished yet! Over the next few months we look forward to Club Champs 2025, the Team Steel Meet in Sheffield, Peanuts League Rounds 2 and 3 and summer Nationals at Ponds Forge.

In this edition of Babble, we celebrate highlights from 2025’s Regional Championships, recognise newly-broken Club records, share upcoming dates for your diary, and take a look back at an absolutely fantastic Round 1 of Peanuts League.

Wow, 2025 is flying by! Since we last shared a newsletter we’ve had Counties, sent three swimmers to Swim England’s County Development Camp, welcomed Greg Coe to present seven Top-Eight Counties awards, and celebrated 55 personal best times at Braintree’s Winter Sprints Meet. There’s lots to look forward to over the coming months, including the prestigious London Legacy Meet and our own Regional Qualifier.

In this edition of Babble, we celebrate highlights from 2025’s County Championships, share a step-by-step guide for swim parents considering joining our team of officials, and recognise newly-broken Club records and British, European and World records broken by our inspirational Masters swimmers.

Welcome back to the start of another season!

BSSC has had a fantastic start to the 2024/25 season, with exciting things happening across all squads.  It’s hard to believe that we’ve only been back in the water for less than two months, given everything the swimmers have achieved in this short time. There’s far too much to list here, but highlights include: launching the new Rookies B squad and welcoming 30+ new members, a fantastic start to our Premier Division Arena League campaign, securing 14 gold medals at the Masters East Region Championships, and Dylan and Ella helping to secure Hertfordshire’s highest position in the National Team County Championships for five years!

In this edition of Babble, we reflect on some of the highlights from the season so far, welcome BSSC’s newest members, share our updated guides for parents, and take a look at what’s to come over the next few months.
