The second spring sprints gala was held on Thursday bringing and end to this years event. A total of eight records were broken giving an idea of the high standard of swimmer at Saracens. The results are now available in the downloads section.

Thanks to all the poolside helpers that made the 2009 Spring Sprints possible and special thanks to DJ 'Coach Kevin' who provided entertainment between the heats with some of his all time favorite tunes.

Ten of our members have successfully passed their ASA Helpers Course.  This introductory certificate qualifies these swimmers to help at the club by working under the guidance of qualified swimming teachers.  The course tutor Steve Hurst delivered both theory and practical teaching sessions to the group, including basic technical knowledge of strokes and fundamentals of teaching. The club managed to secure a grant from Stockport MBC to cover the fees for the course so it cost our swimmers nothing other than their time and commitment.  The tutor was very complimentary about the standard of the group, and commended the swimmers for their enthusiasm and commitment.  Many of these swimmers will now progress to their Level 1 Teachers qualification and or RLSS Lifeguards qualification.
