Celebration Evening 2026 - Report

On Saturday 5th September, Winsford Swim Team converged at Crewe Alexandra Football Ground to celebrate all our swimmers and volunteers.

The evening was also an opportunity for us all to have a social and to throw some shapes on the dance floor.

It was great to see everyone having a nice time and all our swimmers, together, having fun as a team.

Some thanks are in order. Apologies if I have missed anyone:

Barry Keeling for organising the evenings awards.

Claire Turner for organising the wonderful night.

Thank you to all the volunteers, including Poolside Helpers, Team Managers, Officials, Marshalls, Timing Team, Setter Upperers and Put Awayerers, Organisers, Welfare Team, Committee Members and everyone working to keep the club running smoothly.

We genuinely would be nowhere without all your help.

Thank you to all the Coaches, Assistant Coaches and Assistants to the Coaches Molly, Izzy, Nickie, Andy, John, Ethan, Adam Blackburn, Abigail, Steve and Toby.

Thank you to the morning Lifeguards Gemma and Ed Ma

Thank you to all the Teachers. Abigail (again), Adam Brown and Ed Smalley.

Thanks to the departing teachers, Lily, Charlotte and Henry for all your hard work over the years.
