The Regional Youth Championships were held in Luton earlier this month and were a great opportunity for Chelmsford to deliver yet another outstanding performance in the pool.

Essex Masters Swimming Championships - 11th May
17th May 2013
Nine Chelmsford Masters represented Chelmsford Swimming Club at the Essex Championships on 11th May 2013 at Thurrock Leisure Centre.
Sophie Castle, our only female representative, swam six events, winning five and coming second in the other. This excellent result won her fourth place in the overall individual awards. Gordon Cartwright, in his first ever swimming competition, swam three races and attained third in the 200m freestyle. Adam McMeeking came third in the 100m freestyle and Malcolm MacGregor entered three freestyle races coming third in the 400m. Fred Vaeremans was also swimming in his first gala and did well to finish second in the 50m backstroke and third in both the 50 and 100m freestyle. Dave Pethers, who was competing after a long absence from swimming, swam four races and medalled in all of them with a first, a second and two thirds. In his age group Kevin Chesworth was supreme in freestyle winning the 50, 100 and 200m in very fast times. Derek Gore also entered four events and finished with three firsts and a second place. The real star of the team was Nick Hunt who entered nine events and won all of them earning him the best individual male swimmer of the meet.
The team only entered one relay and were first in the 100m medley event. In the club competition Chelmsford were third overall, which was exceptional considering we had only nine swimmers.
Ladies London League Waterpolo - 12th May
17th May 2013
Our Ladies Water Polo team took part in their first competitive match last weekend, travelling to Croydon, for the opening games of the 2013 Summer London League.
The first game was against Southampton, an experienced National League team. The girls played hard and eventually lost the game 9-5. Scorers were Dani Brazier (3) and Tor Hawes (2).
The next game was against Iceni, the East Region team, who also play in the National League. This was a very close fought game with Chelmsford running out winners 6 - 4. Scorers in this match were Dani Brazier (4), Karen Rodwell (1) and Lizette DeBruyn (1).
This was a very good start to the Summer League campaign, especially as the team had a number of players missing due to exams! But what made it special was the team was made up of a pair of mother and daughter combinations with Caryn Brazier playing with daughter, Dani and Captain Karen Rodwell playing alongside daughters Louise and Laura.
Well done girls we are looking forward to the next round on June the 16th - Keep up the training !

A Big Thank You for raising an amazing £4,500 for the Marie Curie Charity

New Hall School, were delighted to be able to support the event and supplied the pool and lifeguards to enable the club to take part.
Swimmers got into the spirit of the event, and created teams with names such as Torpedo Turtles, Triple Trouble and even the Harry Potter Banana Bunch, with matching swimsuits or team logos; and even the coaches managed to get in the water and swim the distance, with plenty of support from club swimmers on the sidelines.
Well Done to all of you that took part and don't forget to get any last sponsorship money in to Swimathon and next year we will be looking for even more of you to take part!!

Waterpolo Friendlies
12th February 2013
Last Sunday Basildon, at Basildon Sporting Village, hosted a small tournament between teams from Chelmsford, Basildon & Deben.
Our younger team, made up of members born 2000 / 2001 showed some impressive gameplay bearing in mind the small amount of competitive experience some of them have had. For many, this was their first proper game in deep water.
They lost their first game against Basildon 11-2 but useful experience was gained by all and they went on to an outstanding win of 7-0 against the Deben team.
The top goal scorer was Mitchell Ratcliff, scoring 5 of the goals in the Deben match, supported by George Readings and Gordon Woods who scored one a piece.
Our 1998 / 1999 team were very successful in both their matches, beating Deben 9-3 and winning against Basildon 6-5
There was some great defending in the back row and goalie Joseph Clark performed admirably as ever, while our forwards attacked relentlessly and goals were scored with good examples of teamwork and feeding the pit. WELL DONE EVERYONE!
Top goal scorers over both matches were as follows: Dani Brazier - 7, Will Dixon - 5, Patrick Guider - 1, Luca Del Guidice - 1, Joseph Edwards - 1
Thanks again to all parents, friends and relatives who were shouting their support from the gallery - we could certainly hear you down on poolside and it's much appreciated!

British Empire Medal for Dawn Bracken
7th January 2013
Congratulations to one of our long standing members and coaches, Dawn Bracken, for being awarded a British Empire Medal in the New Year Honours list for her work as a Pre-Games Volunteer at London 2012.
Dawn, a long standing member of Chelmsford Swimming Club, has volunteered with CSC in a number of roles as Masters Secretary, teacher, coach, competition secretary and press and PR officer and was delighted to be selected in 2009 as a pre-games volunteer for London 2012 and eventually contributed more than 1500 hours with the Nations and Regions team (a department at LOCOG whose job it was to get the message of the Games around all the Nations and Regions of the UK).
Dawn's passion for swimming also resulted in her being selected as a Games Maker in the Aquatics centre during the Olympics and Paralympics and gave her the opportunity to chaperone athletes from the moment they got out of the water until they arrived at the medal ceremony area, including chaperoning Michael Phelps on his last ever race!
"I would happily do it all again, given the chance. I finished volunteering with London 2012 at the end of October and was then offered a job working on the Games Maker legacy. My job has meant I've had to take a break from coaching for a while but I hope to return to it soon" Dawn Bracken
Basildon & Braintree Meets

National Arena League
17th December 2012
The swimmers at Chelmsford Swimming Club were over the moon to have finally made it back into the Premier League of the National Arena Swimming League after gradually working their way up the results tables over the last four years.
We were up against some incredibly good competition and we managed to win on the day, which means that Chelmsford finished top of Division 1 South and will be promoted next season to the Premier Division South. This is a huge achievement and shows how far the Club has come over the last 3 years with talent and depth of swimmers available.
The event saw some great swims from those that took part and a number of their swimmers won their respective events in all three rounds:- including Eliza and Max Duffy, Ethan Harrington and Courtney Sanders and the girls 15 & Under Freestyle & Medley Team remained undefeated.
The last time Chelmsford were in the Premier Division was 2006, when we were unfortunately relegated so this is a great result for the club.

Training and Sickness do not mix !!
26th October 2009
Over the last few weeks quite a few swimmers have been turning up to training with the start of a cold or flu, and getting out early or not training fully, which in the hot damp environment of the pool spreads the illness rapidly around the rest of the swimmers
Unless you are well enough to train properly, you should not attend a training session. Swimming is an intensive sport and requires 100% fitness, so if you are unwell please do not come to training and spread your germs to others. A few days off usually means you are not contagious, so please respect the other swimmers in your squad.
If you are interested in any of the activities undertaken by Chelmsford Swimming Club and wish to find out more, please email us at info@chelmsfordswimmingclub.org.uk.
