A different kind of swimming for our four athletes on Open Water Development Camp! With the weather a little less hot and sunny, it’s a welcome break from the lane ropes and warm poolside sessions. Enjoy every minute. The only thing they need to watch out for now is the local wildlife… remember to give way to the geese! 🪿🤣

Last year we had 6 Colchester juniors compete in the Talent Centre games... This year we've smashed it and have 8 children selected for the Games to be hosted at Manchester Aquatics Centre over the weekend of the 20 & 21st June. Almos Bujtar, Jamie Francis and Kinglsey He will all represent the East u16 open age group. George Vinter, Dan Blacker, Dexter Atkinson and Jackson Cichir will all represent the u14 open age group and will be coached by Martin Vinter. Emily Turton will represent the u14 girls team.
A year of hard work and dedication to the training sessions is all put into practice over these weekends so it will be hugely exciting. Congratulations to all our members and good luck 🤽‍♀️🤽‍♂️

A fantastic day today as Colchester’s Head Coach Charlie attended the Swim England Age Group Development Programme in his role as Team Coach.

It was a great opportunity for Charlie to work alongside talented young swimmers, support their development, and collaborate with fellow coaches in a high-performance environment. Days like these are invaluable for helping the next generation of athletes reach their potential.

Thank you to Swim England for delivering such a positive and inspiring programme.

Colchester ladies water polo team are at Faversham Lido this weekend and just won our first game 6-4 against University of West England. We go again soon against Faversham this evening and then play Southampton and South London Leeches tomorrow 🤽‍♀️💪
