Those opting to raise money for the Big Splash Mile for Sports Relief can take part individually or as part of a team to complete the Mile. See the Duncan Goodhew/Jodie Kidd promo here

Bramcote LC is not a Swimathon pool this year so the Bramcote SC teams will be swimming at Nottingham University Pool during the afternoon of Saturday 28^th April.

Please sign up on the notice board. £16 per team.

Organise a team with friends or just sign up and the Club will place you in a team.

Broxtowe Secondary Schools Gala - Wed 14th Dec

In 2010 Kimberley were beaten into second place by the narrowest of margins. The swimmers didn't forget and the school brought a very strong team to the 2011 event. Kimberley were worthy winners of the main competition with George Spencer in second place.

Each section (Junior, Intermediate and Senior) had it's own competition. Chilwell pushed Kimberley all the way in the Junior Section and were second again in the Senior competition behind Eastwood.


A big thank you to the parents who were officials and helpers at the event.
