Happy National Volunteer Week! 💙❤️

We are extremely grateful to have such a wonderful team of volunteers behind Blythe Barracudas! 🙌🤩 From our brilliant committee members, fantastic team managers and officials at galas and to our poolside helpers (and everybody inbetween!), you are all absolutely AMAZING! 🌟 So much work goes on behind the scenes and so many hours are spent on poolside by these wonderful people. We can’t thank you enough for making everything possible and for keeping our swimmers happy & safe! You guys rock! 🤩🥳

With the summer holidays quickly approaching, it is very important that children are aware of the dangers in and near to water. 💦

Please share the water safety code with children and others to ensure everyone is safe in & around water. 🛟🌊🚩

• Stop and think
• Stay together in water
• Call 999 (and look for a lifeguard)
• Float on your back in a star float - stay calm!

The Royal Life Saving Society UK - RLSS UK’s Drowning Prevention Week is this month, and swimmers in our lessons programme will be continuing their learning of vital lifesaving skills to keep themselves and others safe in and around water.

Please follow the RLSS’s page and use www.rlss.org.uk for more information.

Yesterday was a very fun and exciting day for Team Blythe! We had our youngest swimmers proudly representing Blythe Barracudas at the A Final! 🌟

Our swimmers had a fantastic time, dressing up with a tropical theme and putting on an outstanding performance! We are delighted to have taken home bronze medals yesterday, and to finish runners-up in the league table! 🥉🥳 The points were incredibly close in the end and it made for a very exciting gala! Well done to for their win yesterday! 🙌

The swimming yesterday was amazing to watch! From the 100 IMs at the start to the final cannon races, every swimmer gave their all and there was fantastic teamwork in relays too! We expect to have picked up quite a few speeding tickets as well for swimmers being too fast! 💥
We are so proud of every single swimmer, yesterday and across the rounds too! You are all amazing - massive congratulations! 🤩🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️

The team was led by captains Molly Waugh and Arthur Freeth, supported by vice-captains Hollie-Mae Morris and Lewis-Oliver Nykamp. 🙌
