Club swimathon fundraiser
Well done to eight club members who faced an ultimate endurance test by completing a 24-hour swimathon.

The fundraising event took place at Guildford Lido on Saturday 25 April, starting at 7am and finished at the same time the next day.

The swimmers in the team included head coach Laura Neall, club coaches Juliet Bowerman and Lewis Thomas and club chairman Stuart Johnson.

More than 90% of the £4,000 target has been reached so far.

Funds raised will go towards training equipment, including refreshing and replacing wallbars and essential repairs to our TIVO replay system.

No-shoes policy

Spectrum has asked us to remind our members that footwear must be removed when entering the pool hall.
This includes parents or guardians coming to watch classes on the upper pool deck, dropping off and collecting children.

Only divers are allowed to walk barefooted along poolside to and from the changing rooms.

The diving pool spectator entry and exit are through the double doors between the pool office and dive first-aid room towards the top of the outside corridor.

If the no-shoes directive is not observed, Spectrum will issue a blanket ban on spectating from the upper pool deck.
