Despite the last minute telephone calls to recruit volunteers, the gala ran very smoothly last night. Thank you to all those that helped – both existing and new helpers. These galas really can’t run without you! We came a commendable 4th on the night – again with a lot of strong swims. This may not be the final position as this league awards bonus points for the number of “too fast (TF)” swims (the fewer achieved means more bonus points!). |

I am very pleased to announce that HHSC has been selected for the Bagsof Help Campaign at Tesco’s in Hemel Hempstead during January and February. I must thank Karen Green for an absolutely sterling effort to get us this far – now it’s down to the rest of us!
We need you to vote for the Club at any of the Hemel Tesco’s – we’re competing with two other projects for a donation with the campaign receiving the most tokens getting £4,000, second place £2,000 and third still enjoying a £1,000 donation. We will be grateful to receive any of these amounts – but the larger the better!
All we ask is that if you shop at one of the six Tesco’s in Hemel that you drop your little token in our HHSC “glass piggy bank” behind the tills - and of course ask your partner, friends, family and colleagues to do the same. |

We are very sorry to report that Alan Doyle, our former Head Coach, died unexpectedly on Wednesday.
Alan’s association with the Club started when his daughters, Kelsey and Kira, joined over ten years ago. He trained as a coach and was initially responsible for the Junior and Development Squads (now Development 1 and 2) before becoming Head Coach in 2010. Pressure of work led to him stepping down in 2014 but his commitment to the club was such that when his successor resigned unexpectedly in 2015 he stepped into the breach without hesitation and held the coaching team together until the arrival of Ollie in 2016. Most recently he coached our very successful Masters section. Behind the scenes Alan was also responsible for the club’s website and our email service as well as being very active in the wider swimming communit. It was his vision which led to the investments in competition equipment which made Hemel one of the best equipped pools in the county.
Many of us will have our own memories of when we have benefitted from his advice, experience and support. The Club owes an enormous debt of gratitude to Alan. He will be incredibly missed by all the committee members, coaches, swimmers, parents and everyone with whom he came into contact.
Our thoughts are very much with his wife, Caroline, and Kelsey and Kira. |

On Sunday 16th July 13 HHSC swimmers competed at the East Region Open Water Championships which doubled as the Hertfordshire County open water championships. The day saw some great racing, the lake was calm, the weather was generally fine except for some (heavy!) summer showers during the 5km race at the end of the day and no-one reported seeing any water snakes. |
