Happy National Volunteers Week!
This week (1–7 June) we’re shining a spotlight on the incredible volunteers who make Grantham SC what it is.
To every coach, committee member, timekeeper, marshal, and helper who gives up their time for our club and our swimmers — THANK YOU. 💙
Our junior league Lincolnshire champions are working hard getting ready for their national final in Corby on Sunday 30th November. Grantham swimming providing a gateway to national success 💙💛
Wishing everyone fast swimming at the Deepings open meet. Race suits are lovely but the ability to swim correctly with skill is the aim.
Save the SUPER SUIT for later down the line. Finishing week 5 - still focused on process technique/habits. Be patient - show skill 🏆
