The BPSC Age Group records have been updated to reflect new records set during Block A.- See the Club Records page and BPSC Club Records report for January.  Special congratulations to Vejune Petraityte (new 200m Breast Long Course record), Ellie Wheeler (new 800m Free and 400m IM Long Course records) and Jack Turrell (who joined the age group record books for the first time with a new Boys 13 years LC record in the 400m Freestyle).

The club is about to run a training course for new poolside officials (Judge Level 1) and next stage for existing J1 officials (Judge Level 2).  Please consider joining us for this important role.  There are several copies of the ASA application form at the BPSC notice board or you can request to be sent one by contacting our officials coordinators.  Please can you register as soon as possible as it can take a few weeks for applications to be processed and the first training session will be on 11th March.

The second weekend of the Annual Age Group Championships and Basildon swimmers continue their dominant performances.  At the end of the weekend Basildon was sitting comfortably in first place on the Club Points Table with more than twice the points of the second and third placed clubs.  See 2017 Essex Age Group Block B Results file for detail.

Congratulations to our swimmers who set out a strong series of performances over the first weekend of the Essex County Age Group Championships.  At the end of this first weekend of three the club established a dominant initial lead for the Top Club trophy, finishing with over twice the points of the 2nd placed club (Romford).  Five BPSC swimmers also took a lead in their respective age group categories.  Well done to all!  See full Block A Results file for details.

Congratulations to all the swimmers (and their coaches) whose hard work is paying off!
