Each year, Ellesmere Titans hold a free skills clinic to help give something back to younger swimmers, & give possible future Titans the opportunity to check out the facilities and all Ellesmere Titans has to offer them. Amy was asked to come along and run a 2 hour skills clinic for the attendee’s where we focused on here speciality, Freestyle, and Starts. With the fantastic help of some of the current Titans, the pool session was both successful & fun. Many of the parents arrived just in time to see just how fast their children were off the blocks!!

After Joe’s visit in 2015, Amy was asked to make a return visit as Swim Swift Elite to 2 different Primary schools up near York, working with Sporting Start who aim to ‘Empower Children through Sport’. The purpose of the trip was to encourage students to become involved with sport & physical activity in an attempt to enthuse, enliven, & empower children towards success, whatever that may look like for them. Not all students were necessarily ‘sporty’ by nature, but through Sporting Starts programme that had identified each student as possibly benefitting from being involved in sport in some way, many had found that playing an important role within a team & trying something new & energetic has given them the opportunity to shine & boosted their confidence. Amy gave an inspirational talk to students at each school & was part of an after-school group where a mixture of students from each school came together to talk about how the programme had helped them, what further activities they would like to be a part of, & voluntary services they could offer to sporting groups in the area, and their schools.

It was a fantastic evening with Leicester Sharks and it was an honour for Joe to be asked to present the trophies and give a speech at their awards evening! This was a celebration for everyone involved with the club, swimmers, parents, coaches, staff, old & new. As the special guest, Olympian Joe Roebuck gave an inspirational and rewarding speech, praising the efforts of the swimmers and the dedication of all who help run the club and make it such a successful place. Meeting the sponsors, Premier Logistics, and an impromptu Q&A with the audience, as well as many photos and autographs with the swimmers made it an extremely enjoyable evening!
