Back Halstead Swimmers Tackle the English Channel 22 May 2024 Halstead Swimming Club are incredibly proud of our Senior Captains Danni Rulton and Sam Johnson, coach Lewis Archer, Kai Adams and Ellie Johnson, who are bravely taking on one of the greatest swimming challenges, swimming the English Channel in August; 21 miles from Dover to Calais in one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, all in the aid of raising money and awareness of Child Bereavement UK. Our amazing young people, now in their 20s have trained alongside each other for over 15 years, competing with and against each other, both in the pool and open water events, including national championships. Swimming the Channel is totally different from anything that they have done before, requiring a new level of training and dedication from them all, supported and cheered on by our Head Coach John Lowe and Senior Coach Paddy Keeble, but also generously guided by the dedication and care of our ex-head coach Roger Wade, who has jumped into his kayak and put the team through their paces, both in the sea and at our favourite local open water venue Gosfield Lake. 46,000 children between 0-17 are bereaved of a parent each year, that’s 127 children a day experiencing an unimaginable loss! Child Bereavement UK provides essential support services to families at one of the most difficult moments of their lives, at one of the most formative and vulnerable times. They aim to help families rebuild their lives and people's generous donations allow their enormously important work to continue to happen. If you would like to donate and follow their journey to the sea, please go to https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/halstead-channel-swim-2024 Previous Next

Back Essex Masters 2023 25 Mar 2023 A successful day for Halstead’s more mature swimmers yesterday at Essex Masters. Some great swims and we finished overall in 5th position. Some highlights included- Neil nailing his back to breast turn - Chris wearing a tech suit inside out (to be fair I suspect no one has tried that before and maybe it’s quicker….) Most of us followed a Lewis-esque schedule (for those that don’t know, that means swimming far too many events) and are still in recovery. Great day. Great team.

Find out more about the Jack Petchey Foundation - Web Link Normination Form Jack Petchey Nomination-form.pdf Winners Congratulations to Ethan, Jacob, Sophie, Matthew, Gini and Chloe for being awarded the Jack Petchey Achievement Award, as nominated and voted for by his peers at Halstead Swimming Club! Ethan Ethan has given up personal time to support the coaching team in progressing the Development Squad. He has shown initiative and tenacity in delivering coaching programmes to the younger members of the Club. He has been exemplar in his role modelling poolside, inspiring others to develop further. Jacob Jacob is always improving his swimming, he is truly dedicated to his sport. His commitment to improve shines through and his hard work recently contributed to his three personal bests achieved at the Essex Age Group Championships 2025. His presence at training sessions is unwavering and his smile reflects his passion. Jacob isn't just a swimmer; he is an inspiring role model. His dedication and enthusiasm pushes others to strive for their personal best, creating a positive ripple effect within the Junior squad. Jacob's commitment, positivity and outstanding performance makes him a deserving candidate for recognition. Ginni Progressing from junior to senior squad has been a real challenge for Ginni. She has had to step up both physically and mentally to achieve longer and harder sessions. Progressing into the squad, whilst friends remained behind, has been part of the challenge. She was quite concerned about her first session, however becoming resilient to the environment and training, building new friendships and having a real can-do attitude have been real qualities that she has demonstrated to prove to herself that she can do this! Sophie Every single time Sophie swims she puts in 100% effort into her stroke. She tries incredibly hard to do her best and to improve. Sophie has overcome her personal challenges, seeking to develop her tumble turns and increase her swimming times. She has listened to mentors and coaches poolside, and has really taken onboard the changes that she needs to implement to enhance her performance. Matthew He is extremely hard working and always on time and very determined to train. He has taken himself to galas on his own to push his personal best times. This is a big challenge to be at an open meet without the support of the club, but Matthew is determined to take his swimming to the next level Chloe Chloe has been an inspirational team player within the Club. A role model both at competitions and during training. Firstly Chloe has relentlessly trained to achieve national swimming times and her personal bests have continued to be broken. Beyond this she has taken personal time out to come and support some of the more junior swimmers. On Sunday afternoons she is seen giving up valuable study time to impart her experience with others. She has helped the coaches when they have been stretched and has taken this responsibility seriously.
