Spring 2024-25 Newsletter

Posted on: 13th March 2025

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.

As always, we really appreciate ideas for future newsletters and any feedback you may have on communications. If you’d like to get involved, please do get in touch.

Winter 2024-25 Newsletter

Posted on: 28th December 2024

Happy New Year! We hope 2025 is treating you well so far and you’re looking forward to competing in or cheering loudly at the Swim England Hertfordshire County Championships later this month!

In this edition of Babble, we introduce members of our new Rookies B squad, share plans for early 2025 including a joint Regional Qualifier Open Meet with Harlow Penguins, and look back at some of successes from the past few months, including finishing top place in Hertfordshire in the National Arena Swimming League and the fantastic Club Championships Award night we shared in November.

As always, we really appreciate ideas for future newsletters and any feedback you may have on communications.  If you’d like to get involved, please do get in touch.

2024-25 Autumn Newsletter

Posted on: 24th October 2024

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.

As always, we really appreciate ideas for future newsletters and any feedback you may have on communications.  If you’d like to get involved, please do get in touch.

2023-24 Summer Newsletter

Posted on: 12th August 2024

As the 2023/24 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 to retain the Club’s position in Division One of Peanuts League. May saw 25 BSSC swimmers qualify for Regionals, with four top-three places secured. The season finished with nine BSSC swimmers taking on the fastest in the UK at the summer Nationals competitions in Sheffield! Meanwhile, our world-ranking Masters have been setting records and winning multiple medals on the international stage. We hope you enjoy reading our latest edition of Babble.
