Important Notice: Stretching
Please remember and be advised:
Swimmers must be stretching at least 3/4 times a week during the Christmas holidays!
This is done to ensure that you keep your muscles in a reasonably flexible state so that when were back in the pool we can minimise injuries!
Each set of stretching takes no longer than 15 minutes. You can choose when to do it as long as you have stretched 3/4 times during that week. So its only going to take 45/60 minutes of your time.
Why?
"Stretching helps reduce muscle tension, improves flexibility and posture, and reduces your chance of injury..." NHS Choices
If you want to find out more about stretching and why it is important please ask your coach.

Its definitely worth it!

Third Round - Arena League 2011
Well done to everyone that took part last weekend at Tamworth and through all three rounds of the Arena League. Everyone has shown a big improvement from last year so we must takes this into next year and develop even further. Good results all round especially after a late night of partying at the presentation night!!
So that's the final round of the Arena League until 2012. But don't worry we'll be back in the pool racing again after the christmas break in the Leicester League and various other open meets!

Congratulations to all swimmers that swam on Saturday night at the Lamas Centre in the JC Dobbs Memorial Trophy! Everyone's great swimming throughout the season in the Dobbs has seen Ilkeston pick up an overall second place which is fantastic news!!

So, well done to all and keep training hard. Great Result!
