Last, but certainly not least, we are delighted to introduce our third new Coach to the ASC team.
Lewis Burras is former 100 Freestyle British Record holder and is a multiple medallist at major championships. He’s got a lot to share with our swimmers and he will be coaching across the squads.
Lewis is excited to be joining the coaching team at ASC, and we are excited to have him on board “Having started swimming at the age of 6, I am now ready to help inspire the next generation of swimmers to achieve their dreams both in and out of the water. From early morning training sessions to competing in World Championship finals, swimming has taught me so much, and I look forward to starting my coaching journey here at Altrincham.”
Please give Lewis a warm welcome when you see him

We've updated the meet calendar for the coming year. It's not exhaustive and I'm sure things will change during the year, but it should help to understand which galas are aimed at your swimmer and will hopefully help you plan for these.
You can find a copy of the calendar here
