News Item 41 - Joe Lack

During the last 3 years Chesterfield Swimming Club has developed under Head Coach Joe Lack and his team to become a major force within the Region. This is a reflection on the hard work put in by the swimmers.
It is therefore with a great deal of regret that I have to announce that we have received the resignation from the position of Head Coach from Joe Lack.
Behind the scenes efforts are already being made to ensure that the club continues to develop and maintain its momentum and high level of coaching to support the swimmers in their future careers.
Joe will take up his new role with South Yorkshire Police towards the end of February.
We will advertise the position on the British Swimming website commencing tomorrow and hope to shortlist within a month.
During the interim period the committee requests that you all remain flexible during the transition.
Our main concern is to support those swimmers particularly affected.
Finally we wish Joe well in his training for his chosen career with South Yorkshire Police.

Mike Ward (Chairman)
