Happy New Year to all swimmers. And what a year it is going to be. Plenty to help you make more of your swimming in 2012.
I kicked off 2012 by dipping into the water at West Sands. It wasn't as cold as I thought it would be, but there were some rather large waves (2 mtrs) and I didn't stay in long. But I did it! I am still trying to work out if I was brave or stupid, bit of both I expect.
In March the British Championships will be held in the new Aquatics Centre and Team GB will be announced in early April. I will put seperate posts on the blog giving details of any news. I am going to some of the heats and three nights of finals. If anyone else is going, let me know, perhaps we can meet up.

Aqua classes are back to normal at The Oasis, as are Seal Island Swimming Sessions.
A Selsey Seniors Swimming Challenge will be launched to start in early February. More details will be posted next week.
NATIONAL SWIMATHON - This year the Swimathon will take place in late April and Marie Curie have teamed up with the Big Splash to enable swimmers to support either Marie Curie or Sports Relief (or both ). A couple of people have said they are interested in putting together a Selsey Team so contact me or Mike or email swimselsey@yahoo.co.uk I would love to hear from anyone who would like to take up this challenge, which will involve you swimming whatever distance you want to aim for 2 lengths to 200.
