Following the recent announcement that Joe Lack tendered his resignation, we have set the wheels in motion to identify, interview and appoint a Head Coach to continue the clubs development into the next decade.
The vacancy has been advertised on both the British Swimming and club web sites and we have already had expressions of interest from coaches both known and unknown to us, one from Hungary.
In order to appoint a coach who will fit into our plans for the club and the current development we need to recognise that many coaches are on 3 months notice period.
To ensure that the momentum for this season is maintained we are pleased to announce that Carla Bickerstaffe will assume the role of caretaker Head Coach to ensure continuity.
Carla is well qualified to carry out this role and we will be supporting her over the next 4 months or so to ensure swimmers reach the qualification times established at the beginning of the season.
As a Committee we expect swimmers to continue to focus on the end of season plans and work hard in training to achieve our objectives.
The seasons focus remains on the National, Welsh Nationals and Chesterfield SC's Summer Festival in July. Should you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to contact either Nigel Butler or me.
Jake Golding will continue to focus on junior elite working towards their season's objectives.
Mike Ward (Chairman)
