Photo opportunity Wednesday 8th April!

A Portadown Times photographer will be poolside on Wednesday 8th April at 7.30pm in order to witness the presentation of a cheque for £2.000 from our major sponsor Ann McQuade on behalf of 'Ann's Home Care'. This substantial sum is much appreciated and funds have already been earmarked for projects and equipment to benefit the club. Our new PASC banner will also be on display and we hope to picture swimmers and coaches in the presentation. Swimmers are asked to bring new poolside kit (shirt and shorts) and or club hoodies so that we can look our best, in the meantime practice all those 'cheesy smiles'.

Teletots off to Larne

The Teletot team are off to Larne on Friday night for their last Division 2 league fixture of the season. Larne are expected to provide tough competition but so far the squad have impressed with their attitude and effort. The narrow 10 point defeat to City of Belfast in the last gala could easily have gone in our favour had we been able to field our full strength team, still, it did provide the opportunity for others to do their bit and once again many swimmers produced new PB's. Team members are asked to confirm time and travel details for the Larne gala at the club desk on Wednesday night. Best of luck to everyone!

Saturday Night Swims

With both senior and junior swimmers in action last weekend was a busy one for the club. The Teletot team lost by only 10 points against City of Belfast in a gala that could so easily have gone either way. Unfortunately, we were without several 'regulars' but those who filled in did their best. The Teletot squad continue to improve and hopefully we will have our full team available for the next gala. Meanwhile, in Ballymena, a group of PTL swimmers made a big impact on the 'Time Trials' gala in a fixture involving clubs such as Leander, Lecale (Downpatrick) Alliance, Banbridge, Ballymena, Kilkeel and others. The final qualifers are to be confirmed but we expect to have several swimmers in the representative squad to be selected to swim in Larne on 24th April. The quick 'pitstop' at KFC was much appreciated despite the thunder, lightning winds and tropical downpour! Great effort from everyone - goggles on or goggles off!!!
