Hiya,
I will be in the Cornwall area on holiday (coming from Santa Cruz, CA, USA) and am hoping to come by and catch a Master's Swimming or Water Polo practice. However, this site doesn't list the physical address for the pool? I'd like to map the location before I leave the states assuming that I can drop in for a practice. Thanks for your time! Patricia

My daughter Alice is going to the Youth Nationals this year and we are on holiday next week in the area and she would like to drop into your A squad sessions during the evenings if possible just to keep on top of her training (and to keep her coach off her back). She is 14 and swim for City of Chester. If thats in order could someone please drop me a text.

Thanks
Chris Howarth

Hi.My 9yr old daughter swims for our local club - we're having the summer holidays at Sennen and she doesn't want to drop her training. Could she join as a guest for the 6-7 week period of the holidays ? She would probably be a sporadic attendee depending on the beach conditions etc but it would at least help her to keep on top of the times. Cheers for now, Steve B

My name is David Feakes and I run the British Long Distance Swimming Associations (BLDSA) annual Postal Swim.

The objective of the Postal Swim is to encourage people of any ability to participate in and enjoy swimming whether young or old, male or female, able bodied or disabled. Approximately 1,800 swimmers participate in the Postal Swim each year with the aim being for each swimmer to swim as far as they can in one hour. Every entrant receives a cloth badge as a souvenir of the event with medals being awarded in each age group. If you would like more details of the 2008 Postal Swim, please let me have your email address and I will forward the details on to you.

Regards
Dave Feakes
Hon. Postal Swim Secretary

Many thanks to all those from Penzance that came to visit us here in Leicester last month. We all had a fantastic time hosting you and are very much looking forward to visiting you next summer. Many Thanks

Well done to all Swimmers at Bodmin Open Meet. Truly awesome performances. Thanks to Adrian, Allan, Eleanor and Louisa for all their poolside help.
Jim

Sorry I have not visited the site before, Ella & Tegan have not looked back since joining the club.
Everyone who gives up their time for the club really deserve a big thank you from all the members 'and parents' in our case.
One suggestion I would make is a possible contact tel no in case of a need to make contact outside of Club sessions.
This may already be the case if so I do apologise but would appreciate any details being sent.

Good Luck to everyone on Saturday !

I want to say a huge thank you to Jim and Bridgit for organising the brilliant Leicester trip. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and, in return, we are looking forward to hosting next August. I can't recommend getting involved with the twinning enough.
Overall, I considered the week end to be a net success!!!!!

Hi,
I am glad the Jubilee pool is still going, my grandmother Betty Ppiper was one of the first attendants (Lifeguard) at the pool, I have a picture 1935, dressed in a long white skirt and white top with a beri,she was a Newlyn Harbour swimmer, she set a record form Newlyn to the Mount in 1935. Her father Sydney also a swimmer coached her.
As a child i used the jubilee pool every day in the summer months, met loads of friends. Keep the swimming events up and good luck in all you do.

Maggie

Good luck to everyone on Saturday at the Carn Brea Open Meet. Sorry I can't be there.
See you at training on Monday. x

Dear Sir/Madam

I am the Great Britain Deaf Swimming Director and am responsible for the selection to major international competitions such as ?Deaflympics?, World and European Deaf Swimming Championships, plus other international friendly competitions.

We are looking for more swimmers with potential for the next Deaflympics in 2009 at Taipei, Taiwan (followed by the Europeans at Estonia in 2010 and Worlds at Portugal in 2011). I am asking if your club has (or knows of) any Deaf or Hard of Hearing Swimmers who would meet the international hearing loss criterion of 55dB in ones better ear over an average of 500/1000/2000 Hertz.

Our squad has a mixture of orally orientated and sign language swimmers who enjoy each others company when they meet and work hard for the team. We recently won one silver and 4 bronze medals at the recent World Deaf Swimming Championships at Taipei, Taiwan.

If your club has a Deaf/Hard of Hearing swimmer please let me know and ask them to send me their audiogram for checking and also their personal best times for all strokes and distances in both Long and Short Courses.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message. I hope to hear from you soon.

Kind regards

Vincent Dickson
Great Britain Deaf Swimming Director

If Anyone Is Thinking Of Joining Penzance Swimming Club Then Do! Because Its The Best Club Ever!

Hey to all I haven't spoken to already, how are we? In Southern California at the moment, which is awesome. At university, not so awesome! Lots of work! That aside I've taken up rowing and turned my hands into knobbly goblin hands and I've now got legs like tree trunks! Will probably sink when I get back in the water again. Hope all is well at home. What you do in training will happen in a race! Lots of love x

Well done to the junior polo team who travelled to Millfield on saturday.You all done really well to reach the semi-finals.
Team - Amber, Nathan, William, Harry, Luke, Tammy, Connor & Tom.

The message board has gone all quiet! Hello all, I'm in California and it's fantastic, apart from I'm not on a scholarship and therefore can't play waterpolo. Not cool. Taken up rowing instead... 5.30am start every morning... makes swimming seem like a lie-in! Hope everyone is great and training hard, much love x

XxXxXxXxX

Well done to everyone who swam in the Christmas Relay Gale at the pool on Saturday. Great Gala. Was anyone else there? What did you think?

Hi, have visited your site with regards to signing my son up for swimming. Is the skull and crossbones your logo? Makes the website very uninviting a bit morbid. Just an outsiders point of view, I hope you dont mind.

Hi everyone at school. Great site. Love it. gotta go!

A new website has been launched with the aim of helping people in sports and leisure activities find their lost property; the website is www.lostkit.co.uk.

Report any property you've lost at any weekend activity, event or meeting across the UK and we'll try to track it down, or if you've found something, report it and we'll hopefully find the owner.

Note that we have added a link from wwww.lostkit.co.uk to the ASA website. Please advertise and use the service - it's free!!

Hello Everyone!

Its that long since i last swam i dont even know if i still float !

Brilliant place to swim at and 2005 championship swim is going to be brill.

Just thought I'd leave a nice little comment for you guys down-south to read. Uni is great, swimming club is good, it's not Penzance, but it passes. I seldom train more than zero times a week though, it's rather pricey up here! Hope lots of new pbs have been gotten from the new pool! Anyway, I'd best be off.
Remember: Drills done 99% right, are 100% wrong, and FAST LEGS!
Toby

Really enjoyed the Bodmin open , everyone was fantastic . looking forward to the club champs. Amber

Hello chaps, it's the diligent student here. Myself and young Eddy have descended of Cardiff, the latter succumbing to intoxicating substances on his first night and giving me a bit of wieght training carrying him home! Asides from that, we're missing you all, and our pool isn't as good as yours! Take care all xxxx

the new pool is amazinng!

Thankyou to everyone who hosted our visitors from Leicester Knighton. I know it was a lot of work but they all had a great time and were very pleased with the hospitality shown to them. And wasn't it wonderful to show off our fantastic new pool!

Well done to every one who done the yacht inn swim

Lookin forward to swimming in the new pool have'nt had chance yet, been away at bryanston swim school. Hope the weahter is nice 4 the yacht inn swim tomoz

Hi All, Anyone know when the Newlyn to Penzance swim is this year ?
Thanks :-)

ah, hello again! It's all over, sniff. Our beautiful little pool is no longer, no more getting up at 6am to realise it's gone green/is flooded/is iced over (delete as appropriate) and training is cancelled. But we have a brand spanking new one in waiting, whopee! See you all there xxxx

We are really excited about starting in the new pool! PENZANCE IS THE BEST!

Well done to everyone who swam at Carn Brea today, especially Mark who had to swim two laps of honor on his own at the end!!!!

Happy 40th Birthday to Mark Worledge!!! (22-06-05)
We would never have guessed!

Well done to everyone who took part in The Cornwall and West Devon League on Saturday. You had some really good swims. Good luck to Kerry who is "off a travelling" once again next month, have a good time in Spain.
DON'T FORGET THE SPONSORED SWIM ON SATURDAY 21st MAY 05

good afternoon all! She's off again, Skiing this time. Spent an amazing week with Brooksy,bex,Zoe, Ben, Neil, Sean and Thomas. Spent most of the time on my backside but thouroughly loved it! Currently in Courchevel and have been for a week, the snow's not as good but the nightlife makes up for it! It's thanks to that I've just missed my flight to hungary, oops! So it's another week here. Gutted! Hope everyone did well at the counties, love Kerry xxx

Good luck to all Penzance Swimmers in the forthcoming County Champs which start this Saturday. See you all at Bodmin!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KERRY. From ALL at Penzance Swimming and Water Polo Club. Have a good one.

This website is wicked me and Tammy have used the pictures 4 our skool prodject!

ah, yes the jelly wrestling- that story seems to get everywhere! I'll inform you all at a later date, probably in 2weeks when Im home and moaning about the early, cold wet mornings! I look forward to it! See you soon love kerry xx

Happy New Year Everyone. Just letting B Squad Swimmers know that we are back training on Tuesday 11th January @ 5pm. C Squad starts on Thursday 13th at 5.30. See you all then.

Happy new year everyone! Went into Sydney village and saw the most amazing fireworks ever! Then proceeded to spend the rest of the night/morning on a boat in the harbour! Quite a stroke of luck I thought! Australians know how to do firework displays. Home sweet home in 23 days but spending my birthday in Cardiff before I get home- feel free to come join me, it'll be around the 1st of Feb! See you soon xx

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all at Pz Club and especially to our wonderer down under. Kerry it's so good to hear from you, your mail is always so interesting, your mum and dad told the tail of how you became a jelly wrestling champion, like to hear more!!!! Keep the news coming. We all miss you at training and will keep a mince pie and clotted cream especially for when you get home.

Me again! beginning to wonder if anyone is reading this! Or just ignoring me! Well I'm alive and well, you can't escape the Blewett that easily. Camping illegally on the Northern beaches, just north of Sydney. Life is very cheap, well living costs at least. What I'm saving on accommodation somehow seems to get spent on other things. I distribute junk mail for a job! So much fun. It does allow me to wander round Sydney all day and get paid for it so it's not all bad. In the process of sorting out Christmas on Bondi- how to keep the champers cool and the cheesecake non-melted! I am going to miss clotted cream so much though. Hope you're all well. Send me some mail and let me know how things are! Lots of love me xx

Hello all, on the gold coast. Just been to Brisbane which was huge! Still so hot, 8.25 am and my skin is leaking heaps!! Off to Canberra next week and then got to do some work before chrismas, been spending a little too much. Hope you're all well. Happy Birthday Julia! Sorry I couldn't be there, hope you had a great time. Love Kerry xx

Well done to all who competed on Saturday at Bodmin. Lots of medals and personal bests achieved.
Also Happy 50th Birthday to Julia, one of our swimming coaches ( she really doesn't look a day over 21!!!)

hello all! Thought I'd drop you a line to let you know how sunny australia is going, and it's going fantastically! Been bungy jumping( I love it) saw the reef today-turtles, rays and lot and lots of fish. amazing stuff. white water rafting tomorrow then heading south of here (cairns) to find some waves. hope everyone is well, love kerry xxx
