A Social Trip to Basingstoke Aquadrome - Saturday 26th April 2008 |
|
|||||
| We met at Pelican Lane and boarded a Weaveaway coach bound for Basingstoke Aquadrome. I’d never been there before!! “A deprived child”!!! Teresa checked us all on to the coach. 40+ of the swimming club, All very excited we chatted amongst ourselves, oldies to back little ones to the front, munching our way through goodies until we arrived at the pool. It’s one of the coolest places to have fun. There are 3 flumes; unfortunately the green space bowl was not working but we all enjoyed the “Master Blaster” where you sit on a rubber tube and scream as the flume takes you around the pool in a roller coaster effect. There was a 20metre pool for those club members who didn’t want a ride on one of the adrenalin pumping flumes. Swimming in the rushing rapids knocked seconds off all our pb’s without any of the hard work. For those who needed to relax you could sit in the Spa Pool or take the more sedate ride on the Yellow Peril. Sadly all good things come to an end and at 17.15 we were all out of the water for refreshments by the café. It was great fun we all had an opportunity to get to know each other and went home tired out. A big thankyou to Teresa for all the organising and let’s hope there is another social event soon. |

Club Records |
|
|||||
| I expect you have all been wondering when the club records might be updated! Well, I have finally managed to find a little time to complete the task. This has involved recovering data from a number of sources, as you may recall that the previous system crashed and much of the data was lost. Firstly I have updated the Club Championships records, and was astounded to discover that no fewer than 20 records were broken during the Club Championships at the end of 2006. Well done to all the record breakers. The full list will be published shortly on the downloads page. I have also finally managed to complete the task of updating the All Time Club Records, and since the last list was produced in July 2005, an amazing total of 30 records have fallen since upto the end of last season (31 July 2006). Congratulations to all the new record holders. I will endeavour to keep the system upto date more frequently. But be patient a little longer, Derek only got the data tonight, so will upload the data to web site soon. |
