Congratulations to Holly Robinson who was one of the Hertfordshire team in the recent Junior Inter-Couty competition at Luton. Herts finished third on the night behind Essex and Suffolk, and Holly set two new Club records in her individual events, breaking her own record in the 50 breast, and setting a new record in the 50 back, breaking a record last set in 2009 by almost 2 seconds and becoming the first Hemel 10 yr old girl to swim under 40 seconds long course in the event. |

125 swimmers from nine clubs came together at Hemel last night with just one objective - to swim one of the hardest races in the swimmers' repertoire, a 200 fly! Having just one event in a competition is highly unusual but the 200 fly is all too often the ugly duckling event, at best squeezed in at the end of a competition when swimmers are already tired, and with so few entrants the heats are hopelessly unbalanced, and at worst dropped for lack of interest.
Swimmers from Chesham, CoStA, Harpenden, Hemel, Putteridge, Stevenage, Tring, Watford and Wycombe, many of them swimming the event for the first time, enjoyed some really competitive heats and posted some fast times. Congratulations to Harrison Lees of Watford and Adel Zabrzewski of Chesham who were the fastest boy and girl on the night, and to Sam Gaines who smashed an eight year old Hemel Club record at the distance for 15 yr old boys. |

The Club's 2016 AGM was held on Monday, 11th July. The minutes of the meeting together with the reports of the Chair and Acting Head Coach may be found here, whilst the Treasurer's report is available on application to the Treasurer. The year had been dominated by the search for a new Head Coach but an appointment was about to be announced. Despite this the swimming had been very successful with the best ever performance in Arena League, the most ever Regional Championship qualifying times, and almost 25% of the Club's age group records broken; some having stood for many years. This could only have been achieved through the significant commitment of the swimmers, coaches and parents in a time of considerable uncertainty. The Club's financial position was reviewed and changes to the fee structure from September 2016 will be communicated to members. |
