Karly's Swim Stars Player of the Match 🏅
⭐ REEVA ⭐

Well done! An AMAZING 10-0 win!!

Player of the game

✨Reeva✨

Reeva joined us at the end of last season as we prepared for the jump to 9-a-side and wow - what an incredible player. Not only has she slotted into the team perfectly but it has felt like she has been with us since the start.

Reeva is fast becoming the all round midfielder; reads the game so well, always looking to link up with others and has an eye for goal. All of that was on display yesterday and we were particularly impressed with her willingness to header the ball (even from a keepers kick from hands).

Well done Reeva!

⭐ AUGUST SWIMMER OF THE MONTH ⭐️

Rudham’s swimmer of the month 🏆

Hollie - has come such a long way in such a short space of time. Every single lesson she is so keen to learn despite those fears. You should be very proud of yourself Hollie. Keep up the good work 🥰

Dereham’s swimmers of the month 🏆

Dennis - his confidence is growing week by week, he has found his love for the water. He absolutely loves jumping in now and submerging. This month he achieved his 5m distance award and is working really hard on blowing out his bubbles in the water. Well done Dennis 👏🏻

Charlie - he has made fantastic progress with his water confidence, especially in deeper water. He has worked incredibly hard and even managed to achieve his 10m award! 👏🏻

Archie - he has been working really hard on his independent swimming, building his confidence, and putting his face in the water while swimming. He has made brilliant progress and recently achieved his 5 metre award! 💪🏻

Harrison - he attended our summer intensive course at the start of the month to give him a boost in his learning. At first, he was not keen on putting his face in the water, but Harrison has recently made an incredible amount of progress. He is now not too far away from achieving his 5 metre award! 🥳

⭐ ALL OF THEM ⭐

Well done! A great 6-0 win!!

Player of the Match

✨All of them✨

This is only our 3rd ever win as a team. Win or lose the girls always try their hardest and never put their heads down.

They have turned up to training and matches each week and learnt how to play this game we all love. Today was one of those games where it was a bit special and impossible for us to pick just one player as it would be unfair on all the others, it was 10/10 performances all over the pitch.

They have shown us now the standard they can play at, challenge is to keep that going!

⚠️NEW TERM⚠️

📆STARTING TUESDAY 1ST SEPTEMBER 2026

We still have a few spaces left to start the term for ⭐AQUAFIT⭐ at Swanton Morley Primary School on Tuesday mornings at 10.00am..

The classes are great fun, suitable for all abilities and affordable - and are held in a private pool!

Exercising in water can be less stressful on the body, with buoyancy reducing the impact on joints. The properties of the water can also make it a good environment for those who want a harder workout, as the muscles will need to overcome the resistance caused by the water's viscosity.

⭐AQUAFIT⭐ is truly a great exercise for any level of fitness!
All equipment is supplied by us, you will just need to bring a swimming costume and a towel!

To book your place, please visit bookwhen.com/karlys-aquafit-stars

Karly's Swim Stars Player of the Match 🏅
⭐ Ellie-Mai ⭐

Well done!

Karly's Swim Stars Player of the Match

✨Ellie-Mai✨

What can I say about this player, she always gives us everything she has every game!
Today was no different, as she stood in for Evelyn as captain and led the team brilliantly. It's never easy to pick a team up and get them going when things are not going your way. Not only did she lead by example, with 2 goals and driving the team forward but we could also hear her encouraging the team with constant support.

Well done Ellie-Mai, a natural talent and looking forward to watching you play this season!
