John Mann visits Worksop Dolphins

Local MP and sports lover John Mann spent several hours on Wednesday 18th February with the Worksop Dolphins Swimming Club.

Mr Mann was very impressed with the opportunities offered to swimmers but concerned that because of restricted water time the club could not take on more swimmers. Mr Mann hopes to help the club obtain greater access to the facilities.

He was shown round the facilities by Head Coach Andy Thompson and President Alex McLauchlin and was clearly amazed by the levels of coaching available and the huge volunteer programme which exists within the club.

Mr Mann has been in regular communication with the club during the construction of the new centre but this was his first chance to see the youngsters training in the new pool.

Mr Mann remarked that no-one could fail to be impressed by the attitude of the swimmers and coaches and clubs like Dolphins who provided such wonderful opportunities for youngsters should be supported by the local council as they were vital to the local community.

New Head Coach

The Committe are pleased to announce that as from 11th January 2009, Andrew Thompson takes over as new Head Coach. Andy is an experienced coach and swimming teacher, having spent time at Sheffield Swimming Club where he coached swimmers to national standard!
