A reminder to all swimmers, parents and members about the updated Swim England changing room and mobile phone policy.
During any training session or competitions, there should be no use of mobile phones or camera-enabled devices in changing rooms. This includes phones, tablets, iPads and any device capable of taking photos or videos. The rule is in place to protect everyone’s privacy and safety and to help prevent inappropriate images or footage being taken.
Please ensure your children know the policy enable them to support the “Keep it in Your Locker” message – leave phones safely stored away until you have left the changing area. Creating a safe, respectful environment for all swimmers is everyone’s responsibility.
Parents waiting for swimmers in the changing area, please ensure your phones are also not being used while you wait.
Thank you for helping us keep our club and swimmers safe.

🟡🟣⚫️Garstang Gators Medal Gala⚫️🟣🟡
A huge well done to all our amazing swimmers who competed at the Garstang Gators Medal Gala on Saturday!
It was fantastic to see so many of our swimmers racing with many taking part in one of their first galas! The day was full of fun, team spirit and plenty of smiles. From land training in the hall, lots of song requests for Tony and the clubs joining together for a brilliant conga around the hall! It was great to see everyone having so much fun both in and out of the pool.
A big thank you to our fantastic volunteers who helped throughout the day. Thank you also to our wonderful coaches Adam, Chris and Kate for all the encouragement, guidance and brilliant support you gave our swimmers poolside (they were too busy coaching to make the photo! 😂).
What a way to finish the day with the relay! A huge well done to Roman, Ellie, Noah P and Noah Mc for a fantastic team sprint and to our brilliant teammates who stayed right until the end to cheer them on!
Thank you Garstang Gators ASC for hosting such a great gala. We had a fantastic time! 🦦
