@edwardbaxter98 part 3! I have nearly dragged my daughter out if this sport at so many times due to the toxicity of how its run. Competitive sports can't be run by the competitors parents!
@edwardbaxter98 Part 2! I think I speak for many who would be happy to be pay a bit more to gave a paid professional run things and surely the massive headache of dragging in officials will go if it simply runs like a regular business! I just gave up hours &hours to swim mark in my free time๐คช
@edwardbaxter98 I am SO happy you have had a rant! I run a vocational Ballet business and remain mystified why swimming has not caught up with this century! How can you dedicated your entire kids childhood to a sport where parent committees and volunteers actually run it!!!? Its mind blowing๐คฏ
@Spindlow83 @ShellEnergyHome @MartinSLewis Yep @Octopus do this too!! So they assume we are running a pool all year when it's only for 4 months!! We are also STILL being judged on the previous home owners useage......not impressed!
Lucky Lucky Lucky girl!!! Lara is inspired and loved every minute! Huge thanks @Jimbob95goon@Fullalove_ @woldinghamsport @LeatherheadSwim She awaits the next visit๐๐What an amazing opportunity for all the girls @WoldinghamSch

@andrewg24190595 Having never met James before and seeing a fair few stars over the years - it was a real honour and a genuine pleasure to see what a kind amazing man James is. No ego and all heart- all clear in the barrage of autographs he was signing!!! Huge thanks ๐
What an amazing day racing @MediHarris Thankyou for the kind pre race chat! @Jimbob95goon for being such a lovely kind soul & to @adam_peaty for a phenomenally well organised, inspirational start to the season!The time given to all was truly appreciated #leatherheadswimmingclub
@AllistairMcCaw Our previous club just expected swimmers to compete against each other day after day in training and never gave feedback or said a word!! Just ignored and exhausted.
Thankfully we have now left & are at a fabulous club!2 year search to find actual mentoring coaching -exhausted ๐คช
