Welcome!
Welcome to the handbook of 4 Shires Swimming Club.
We are primarily a competitive club, but we aim to meet the needs of all swimmers whether they
want to compete in external galas, the counties, etc., only want to race twice a year at our
internal galas, or are simply looking to improve, or maintain, their overall fitness and enjoy
swimming. Whatever your aspirations, we hope that both swimmers and parents alike will find
this handbook helpful. It contains a wealth of information about being a swimmer with 4SSC,
such as training sessions and club events, but will hopefully also demystify some of the jargon
used in swimming – what open meets are and how to enter competitions, and the like.
We also have a comprehensive website that should be used as a resource alongside this manual.
The website will have the latest external gala details, forthcoming events and much more. It also
has all of the club’s policies and constitution.
If having read the handbook and checked out the website you have further questions left
unanswered, please talk to one of the coaches or Committee Members who will be happy to
assist you.
