The club has partnered with Magic 5 goggles, so you now have a club shop to get discounted products. As a bonus during September, we have 2 sets of goggles to give to members attending swim sessions during the month. See you at the pool!!

At the end of May I was looking forward to this race (to complete, not compete), we’d had a good club bike weekend in Morzine and I’d done the Inverness half marathon at the end of March fairly comfortably. After returning from Morzine I got a chest infection which didn’t […]
