Long Eaton Swimming Club

Tonight is a bit of a special (and slightly emotional!) one as we say goodbye to our Head Coach Olly.

While we’re sad to see him go, we’re absolutely delighted for him and wish him the very best of luck in his new role.

Thank you, Olly, for everything you’ve given to the club - your commitment, passion and support have made a real difference to swimmers of all ages.

This definitely isn’t goodbye though... we’ll still be seeing Olly poolside as a Masters swimmer.

To mark the occasion, tonight’s session will be a fun splash session to celebrate Olly and send him off in style - smiles, laughs and plenty of fun!

Good luck, Olly - and see you soon!
