ESS Representatives On a Par with England's Finest
Sam Pereira, Grace Lennon, Ellisia Baxter and Joe Overton were all selected by the London Schools Swimming Association to be part of the regional team competing for the national schools' title of the English Schools Swimming Association in Leeds at the weekend of 3rd and 4th October. All four had success in their long course races and came away with new PBs in their events. Outstanding swims included Sam's and Grace's 200 Free (1:58.16 and 2:16.94 respectively), Joe's 200 Back (2:27.82) and Ellisia's 200 Breast (2:59.42). Sam came away with silver medals for this event, as well as for representing London in the 4x100 Intermediate Free Relay. Congratulations to all - you have done ESS proud!
Also in the weekend's news: both ESS Head of Programmes Callum Maher-Doyle and ESS Regional Squad athlete Megan Molloy were part of a nationally selected coaches' and athletes' team to participate in the phase 1 camp of the 2015/2016 England Talent Development Programme. Reece Nicholls is due to participate in a similar programme for older age groups. Well done!
ESS Athletes Off to a Flying Season Start in September
Well done to swimmers for a great start to the 2015/16 season over the last two weekends. On Saturday, 19th September, two teams of ESS athletes competed in our annual Eric Eady Senior gala, against guests Haringey Aquatics, Broomfield Park, Ware and Anaconda. The gala was fantastic preparation in the run-up to the Arena League and ESS retained the trophy for a further year! Senior captains of ESS 'Blue' Elliot and Jessie collected the shield on behalf of the team.
The depth of talent throughout our squads was further demonstrated by the 104 ESS athletes competing at the London Borough of Enfield 50/100 Championships during the weekend of 26th and 27th September. Our youngsters competed in multiple sprint events, smashing PBs and collecting medals. However, the real 'stars' of the competition were to be found in our pool of helpers: multiple failures of poolside gala technology required a very creative approach to ensure the gala ran despite adverse conditions. We are lucky to have such an enthusiastic and level-headed volunteer workforce, who all coped marvellously! Special thanks also to all who helped for the first time, as well as our growing pool of British Swimming Officials (and those undertaking training).
Swimmers, National Arena League team selections will be on their way soon - watch out for you selection letter in your inbox over the next few days.
Swimming Teachers Wanted
Our teaching houses Griffins and Edmonton Phoenix are always on the lookout for enthusiastic swimming teachers, qualified at either level 1 or 2, or unqualified and willing to learn. If you are interested, please contact Linda for Griffins house at Arnos Pool or Sue at Edmonton Phoenix for posts at Southbury and Edmonton. Swimmers or ex-swimmers (15+) preferred.
More Medal Success for ESS in Second Weekend of London Regional Championships
Ellisia Baxter (3.11.36), Megan Molloy (3.00.43) and Lily Tiernan (3.04.05) kicked off the second weekend of racing at the London Regional Championships at the London Aquatics Centre for ESS, all qualifying for finals in their respective age-groups in the 200m Breaststroke. A strong combined effort from the 14-16 male 4x100m Medley Team marginally missed out on a medal, with contributions from Reece Nicholls, Daniel Turan, Josh Kirlew and Sam Pereira. In addition, a second ESS team made up of Oskar Soulas, Nick Kahwati, Tamir Smith and Beng Ren Siew posted a good team result and some health personal best times.
All members of the 14-16 4x100m female Freestyle Relay set new personal bests, with Emily Haimes (1.02.53), Maya Kirlew (1.06.26), Chloe Howe (1.05.85) and Emma Montague (1.03.62) all contributing as the youngest relay team participating at Regional Championships.
Emily Haimes then went on to post a big PB in the 200m Butterfly (2.30.81) in her heat swim, qualifying 7th into the final, with a superb final swim (2.30.31) once again improving on her lifetime-best to finish 4th. Oskar Soulas also qualified for yet another Regional Final for ESS, swimming sub-60 in the 100m Freestyle for the first time (59.93), claiming bronze in the final with a 1.00.06.
Sam Pereira qualified fastest for the final of the 200m Individual Medley (2.18.27), with Reece Nicholls performing strongly to contest the final in 4th (2.21.35). Josh Kirlew, in the age group above, qualified third-fastest (2.20.60), whilst Elliot Bertram made the Open final (2.18.41) to ensure ESS representation in Regional Finals in every age group. Kirlew secured a bronze, whilst Pereira swam to a PB for gold (2.16.26) and Reece Nicholls to yet another personal-best (2.20.89) for fourth.
Elliot Bertram kicked off the Sunday sessions with gold in the Open 1500m Freestyle (16.52.81), with a resilient performance from Joe Haimes (18.31.47) for 7th in the same event. Bertram raced away in his heat, despite being seeded in an outside lane, setting a breathtaking pace and maintaining that to claim gold by more than 30 seconds.
The girls 4x200m Freestyle relay consisted of Emma Montague, Jessie Montague, Emily Haimes and Chloe Howe, with an Open Male 4x100m Medley relay team of Ryan Nicholls, Toby Pasmore, Elliot Bertram and Ben Howe also racing well. Megan Molloy's 9.45.40 in the 800m Freestyle was enough to secure silver, whilst a first-ever Long Course 800m Freestyle from Maya Kirlew (10.11.87) was enough to place her 10th.
Joe Overton qualified for the final of the 200m Butterfly (2.50.92), as did Oskar Soulas (2.28.02), whilst some personal bests in the 100m Freestyle positioned ESS athletes well for finals. Megan Molloy (1.05.65), Grace Lennon (1.06.68), Emily Haimes (1.02.64), Emma Montague (1.03.69) and Chloe Howe (1.06.49) all took part for the girls, whilst Samuel Pereira (56.42) secured bronze and Reece Nicholls (56.06) silver in the male event. Ryan Nicholls (59.57), Josh Kirlew (56.72) and Toby Pasmore (56.61) all added strong times to the list of successful 100m Freestyle performances across the weekend.
With only relays and the 50m sprint events remaining, ESS athletes have performed outstandingly across two weekends to enhance ranking positions and gain valuable experience racing at two flagship London pools. ESS have achieved countless finals and medallists, with a range of ages contributing to what has been an exceptional London Regional Summer Championships so far. We are of course expecting further stories of success when the Championships are wrapped up on the 30th May at the London Aquatics Centre.
ESS Conclude First Weekend of Regionals in Style
By the end of the third day of racing (spilling over into Bank Holiday Monday), Enfield Swim Squad athletes had performed exceptionally to accumulate a considerable number of personal bests, qualifying for finals and reaching podiums, with regional medallists and champions showing the strength of the programme in all age groups.
Oskar Soulas began the momentum with a Long Course personal best (4.40.95) in the 400m Freestyle for 6th, followed by further lifetime bests for Chloe Howe (1.27.18) and Lily Tiernan (1.26.05) in the 100m Breaststroke.
Reece Nicholls continued his superb form in the 200m Backstroke, qualifying for the final second-fastest (2.19.17), whilst Sam Pereira qualified fourth with a huge PB (2.20.67) to ensure a strong ESS presence amongst the best field in London. Reece then went on to register an outstanding time (2.15.74) in the final to claim silver and enhance his position in the National Rankings, maintaining his 100% personal-best record at the London Regional Championships.
Ryan Nicholls posted a lifetime best (2.18.02) in the same event, qualifying fourth into the final and displaying an outstanding back-end to evenly-split a superb strategic swim. Ryan performed well in the final, only just being edged out of the main event medals with a brilliant 4th place finish, however collecting another Gold for the MC event.
Ellisia Baxter surpassed all expectations by qualifying for the 11/12 final at just 11 years old - she qualified in an outside lane with a 1.28.31 heat swim as the only girl her age amongst the field. Baxter then stunned the crowd by registering a 1.23.48 in the final to claim silver - a magnificent performance that put her amongst a increasingly large group of ESS medallists at the meet.
Maya Kirlew (4.57.23) raced a balanced 400m Freestyle but could not quite maintain her 100% personal-best record at Regionals, whilst Megan Molloy claimed bronze in the same event with a 4.44.70. Joe Haimes (4.37.28) and Josh Kirlew (4.25.19) took part in the male event, whilst Sam Pereira (4.23.62) and Reece Nicholls (4.24.28) took gold and silver for ESS to add further medals to the increasing haul. Elliot Bertram returned to his best with a fantastic 4.19.32 to be narrowly edged into 4th, showing good signs of progress ahead of the 1500m next week.
Emily Haimes qualified for the final of the 100m Butterfly with a personal best time of 1.07.66, whilst Chloe Howe (1.13.71) and Maya Kirlew (1.14.53) also added further PBs in the same event. Haimes was edged into 5th in a tightly-contested final, but showed excellent fight and spirit to push a very strong field to the limit.
In the 100m Breaststroke, Daniel Turan raced sub-1.20 for the very first time (1.19.04), adding to yet another pair of personal bests from Reece Nicholls (1.16.11) and Sam Pereira (1.17.35). Toby Pasmore's return to form continued with a 1.13.93, wrapping up another outstanding day of racing for ESS.
The coaching team feels immense pride, coaching a group of young athletes who have shown exceptional resilience and focus, reaping the rewards for a period of hard work by all registering PBs and increasing the ESS presence in the context of London Swimming. The physical and mental demands of a three-day racing weekend were met with professionalism and focus throughout, and the enhanced understanding of rest, rehab, hydration and nutrition is showing in some exceptional results.
ESS Athletes Add to Medal Haul in Second Day of Regional Success
As the British National Championships begin to come into focus from behind a new qualification process, ESS athletes looked to add to a breathtaking first day of the London Regional Championships by continuing excellent momentum into the second day at Crystal Palace Sports Centre.
With British Swimming implementing a 'ranking' system to allocate qualification placements at the upcoming National Summer Championships, swimmers from across the country had been informed of the need to achieve times within a 'qualifying window', scheduled to close on May 31st.
Performances at this stage in the season now come under more scrutiny, and ESS athletes rose to the challenge with a series of stunning performances in a host of events.
400 IM performances from Megan Molloy (5.23.58, Gold), Lily Tiernan (5.50.76) and a superb personal-best swim from Emily Haimes (5.38.06) set the tone of what would prove to be a resounding success for the programme. Male performances from Josh Kirlew (4.59.17) and a 14-second Long Course personal best from Reece Nicholls (5.01.53) contributed to a strong all-round showing in the middle-distance event.
In the 200m Backstroke, both Joe Overton (2.36.78) and Oskar Soulas (2.26.37) secured places in the final, adding further lifetime bests to what has already been a remarkable meet for both. Overton achieved a faster time in the final (2.35.89) to claim bronze, whilst Soulas followed the trend by swimming a 2.25.35 for silver and a considerable jump in the National Rankings.
Soulas followed up a fantastic backstroke performance by swimming another lifetime best in the 200m Freestyle (2.08.58) to qualify second for the final - after leading for the majority of the opening 150m, he was eventually squeezed into fourth, but displayed remarkable courage to set a strong pace and race from the front of the field.
Emma Montague obliterated her heat in the 100m Backstroke, swimming 3-seconds under her best (1.13.43), whilst teammate Maya Kirlew eclipsed the lifetime best she achieved at the National Age Group Championships last season, racing sub-1.10 for the very first time with a 1.09.98 to qualify for the final. Kirlew and Montague have been integral to the development of a gifted and hard-working crop of recent arrivals into Regional Squad, and received reward for their efforts with two exceptional times.
Kirlew's 100m Backstroke personal best added to another she achieved earlier in the day for the 400 IM (5.42.36) and was followed by yet another in the 200 IM (2.41.34) to ensure she continued her run of 100% success in achieving lifetime bests at the meet. Kirlew's 200 IM was joined by further performances from Megan Molloy (2.36.69) to qualify for the final and Lily Tiernan (2.43.36), closing out the girls involvement in day 2.
A three-second personal best from Elliot Bertram in the 200 Butterfly (2.14.34) was enough for qualification into the final, and followed an impressive showing in the shorter 100m event (1.01.85).
That 100m Butterfly time was added to by performances that contributed further medals to ESS' current haul - Sam Pereira raced to silver with a 1.02.12 despite being ranked 22nd on a (1.07.20) in the lead up to the event, whilst Reece Nicholls joined Pereira in the final after posting two-second improvement for 1.03.50. Josh Kirlew was agonisingly close to a first ever sub-60 100m Butterfly, qualifying for the final with a 1.00.12, more than a second-under his personal best and pushing him up the rankings considerably.
Also competing today were further Regional qualifiers Ted Winfield (100m and 200m Butterfly) and Sam Cornish (100m Butterfly).
A host of high-quality performances - eligible within the qualifying window - have greatly enhanced the possibility of a strong presence for ESS at the British Age Group and Youth National Championships scheduled for August. The endeavour and professionalism displayed by the athletes reinforced the need for independence, autonomy and self-reliance in their approach to racing - the maturity and attention-to-detail will be key to maintaining the momentum into the last few weekends of May.
Outstanding Day 1 for ESS at London Regional Summer Championships
Day 1 of the London Region Summer Championships saw fourteen ESS athletes make the trip south to the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre, with members from both Regional and Intermediate squads representing the programme on the first day of competition.
An outstanding range of personal best times contributed by almost every athlete competing set the tone for a day of competition that saw multiple Regional finalists, medallists and champions in ESS colours.
Superb 200 Backstroke heat performances from Megan Molloy (2:32.75) and Maya Kirlew (2.33.31) were enough to book spots in their relative age group finals, with both girls going on to register faster times in the final (Kirlew - 2.32.83, Molloy - 2:30.56, Silver). Both were considerable personal bests and excellent ranking swims, following an opening event in which Joe Overton had already started early momentum with a fantastic 400 IM performance.
Joe Haimes (2.11.21), Elliot Bertram (2.05.56), Josh Kirlew (2.03.79) and Ryan Nicholls (2.10.03) posted strong times in the 200 Free, with Kirlew making the final with a personal best time. Reece Nicholls qualified for the 15/U 200 Freestyle final second fastest with a 2.04.11 for yet another personal best, whilst he was led only by another ESS athlete Sam Pereira, who clocked a 2.03.78.
Nicholls and Pereira went on to take gold and silver in the event, both swimming faster again, with Nicholls (2.03.43) only marginally edged out by his team-mate Pereira (2.02.36) to leave the rest of the field trailing at 150m.
Maya Kirlew added to her strong start with yet another PB performance in the Girls 200m Freestyle (2.21.27), joined by further personal bests by ESS athletes Grace Lennon (2:23.93), Emma Montague (2.22.27) and Emily Haimes (2.17.85). Megan Molloy qualified for the final of the same event (2.17.75), only to swim faster again - and under her best time - with a 2.16.10 amongst a very strong field.
In the next event, Oskar Soulas qualified second for the final of the 100m Backstroke, with a significant personal best of 1.07.87 - racing to a 1.06.41 in the final to be agonisingly edged into silver by mere tenths of a second. Joe Overton had already performed more than two seconds under his PB to qualify as one of just two 11-year-olds in the 11/12 final - again performing better under pressure with a 1.13 in the 100m Backstroke to position himself as one of the most exciting prospects in the region.
In the final session of the day, Soulas performed exceptionally yet again, with a 2.29.79 personal best in the 200 Individual Medley to run in 5th in the final. Multiple personal best heat swims in the 100m Backstroke for Toby Pasmore (1.05.43), Josh Kirlew (1.07.06) and Sam Pereira (1.05.41) were added to by strong performances from brothers Ryan (1.05.71) and Reece Nicholls (1.02.83)
The performances from Sam and Reece were enough to qualify for the final in first and third - Sam yet again posted a PB (1.05.14) to claim bronze, whilst Reece claimed hist first ever Regional gold medal with an incredible 1.01.98 to top a superb first day for ESS members.
The professionalism and focus displayed by all athletes was exceptional - to boast multiple Regional champions, medallists and finalists on just the first day is something special. All representing athletes did the programme proud and have set the tone for what will be a special meet for an inspiring ESS team.
M11 Junior League
A team of young ESS swimmers represented the Club at the M11 Junior League on Sunday, 26 April, in Basildon. Despite a very difficult first round draw with many of the strongest Division One teams of the League in our gala, the team performed excellently with lots of personal best times.
Lots of cheering from the poolside demonstrated great team spirit amongst our juniors. Especially good swims came from Grace Lennon and Victoria Ciszewski in the 50m Butterfly event. Well done to all who took part and special thanks to those who made themselves available in the later stages to ensure ESS presented a full team.
Round 2 will take place on 17th May at Southbury. The League has asked us to host the gala and we will require lots of parental offers of help! If you are willing to do one of the many jobs needed, please contact us.
The team:
Richard Farthing, Arun Dodds, Joe Overton, Lewis Japal, Luke Bransby, Sam Cornish, Jean-Luc Van Mellaerts, Dumitru Casapu, Clement Fry, George Lead, Harry Lonsdale, Jake Lennon, Alexander Koranzopoulos, Liam Austick, Niathan Soobrayen, Millie Flannagan, Jessie Mullee, Caitlin McCoole, Grace Lennon, Natasha Welch, Jacquelyne Robinson, Misha Schofield, Ellisia Baxter, Freya Nice, Megan Farthing, Victoria Ciszewski, Honey Humphries, Tianna Schofield, Nicole Camilo Tayaca, Kaitlin Bransby, Ezgi Erensoy.
Successful Round 2 for ESS in Essex League Division One
Enfield Swim Squad members put in a strong second round performance in the Essex Swimming League on Saturday, 25th April, finishing 3rd in a strong field to take a step closer to securing a position in the Premier Division for next year.
The ESS representatives put in a display full of skill and determination, with a young side gaining excellent experience at the Braintree Swimming Centre. The valuable league points accrued with the third place finish positions ESS joint-third in the table, with some significant PB swims contributing to the leapfrogging of fellow London-based side, Newham/UEL.
Some outstanding performances from Lily Tiernan including the 50m Butterfly (34.48) and 100m Breaststroke (1.24.39) were added to by impressive swims from fellow Intermediate Squad members Amelia Field-Gould (100m Freestyle - 1.12.75) and Caitlin McCoole (50m Butterfly - 36.51).
Contributions from Middlesex Squad members Harry Cox (100m Freestyle - 1.01.82), Lola Pearce (100m Freestyle - 1.06.51), Lara Eyre (100m Butterfly - 1.22.32) and Deniz Erensoy (50m Butterfly - 31.07) all helped ESS to make considerable strides from Round 1, with personal best times coming with regularity throughout the evening.
Ben Howe (50m Freestyle - 59.25), Tamir Smith (100m Backstroke - 1.11.70), Neil Chowtie (100m Butterfly - 1.07.73) and Joe Haimes (100m Breaststroke - 1.22.89) all achieved personal best times at Braintree - with some superb relay splits helping ESS place well up the table.
Fantastic efforts from some of the more inexperienced ESS youngsters topped off a great night of swimming, with Shaan Patel, Dumitru Casapu, Robbie Parsons and Francesca Newson doing ESS proud and gaining valuable racing experience along the way.
Congratulations to all competing clubs - Newham and UEL, Harlow Penguins, Witham Dolphins, Romford Town and Halstead - the third round of the league will take place on May 16th at Becontree Leisure Centre. Team selections will be issued shortly.
Swimmers Successfully Prep for Regionals at Crawley
Crawley's K2 centre was the stage for ESS Regional Qualifiers 'preparatory meet' for the London Regional Championships, scheduled for May 2015. ESS athletes raced busy programmes whilst unrested across just two days, as preparation for their end-of-cycle championships in just two weeks.
Racing in unfamiliar surroundings, ESS athletes went up against some of the best from across London, Essex, Sussex and Surrey, showing great resilience to often swim multiple events within a session.
There were some outstanding performances and personal bests from Reece Nicholls (100m Butterfly - 1.05.23), Oskar Soulas (200m IM - 2.30.05), Neil Chowtie (100m Freestyle - 1.01.31), Emily Haimes (200m Butterfly - 2.34.72), Ryan Nicholls (50m Backstroke - 31.87), Daniel Turan - 50m Freestyle 28.69), Caitlin McCoole (200m Butterfly - 3.06.77) and Toby Pasmore (50m Freestyle - 25.55, 50 Backstroke - 31.12).
Perhaps the stand out performance of the weekend came from Sam Pereira, who posted a 2.16.35 in the 200m Individual Medley to register the second-fastest time in the history of London Swimming within his age group. Pereira has until the National Age Group Championships in August to chase the record, but the considerable personal best swim places him in a strong position to perform well at Regional Championships, and is a credible contender for National Qualification.
All athletes raced well and behaved with discipline and professionalism - the full ESS team was:
Elliot Bertram, Neil Chowtie, Emily Haimes, Joseph Haimes, Chloe Howe, Phoebe Jackson-Virk, Caitlin McCoole, Joe Murphy, Reece Nicholls, Ryan Nicholls, Toby Pasmore, Sam Pereira, Oskar Soulas, Daniel Turan, Natasha Welch.
British Swimming Championships 2015
Enfield Swim Squad athlete Emily Haimes took to the London Aquatics Centre on Friday, after qualifying on the 50m Freestyle for the biggest and most prestigious domestic event, the 2015 British Swimming Championships.
Haimes achieved qualification following exceptional progress over the past 12 months under the guidance of Assistant Head Coach Rob Howe, representing ESS at the highest domestic level in addition to some excellent racing during the current Long Course season.
Haimes has achieved personal best times in favoured events (100m Freestyle, 100m Butterfly) during the window to add to some exceptional performances in the 50m sprint events. Haimes swam marginally outside of her lifetime best, although she registered a sub-29 performance yet again, clocking in at 28.92 in heat 3 of the female 50m Freestyle.
Sharing a call room with the likes of internationals Francesca Hallsall and Lauren Quigley, Emily enjoyed an experience that only a handful of athletes have the opportunity to take part in. The meet saw performances from World Record holders, Olympic champions and a host of international athletes, including Ruta Meilutyte, Chris Walker-Hebborn, Liam Tancock, James Guy, and Adam Barrett, whilst those present for the finals on day 4 witnessed history, with Team GB's Adam Peaty breaking the World Record in the 100m Breaststroke, becoming the first man to swim under 58 seconds, with a 57.92.
All at Enfield Swim Squad are immensely proud of Emily's achievement, and her inclusion at such a prestigious event is no doubt a sign of things to come for the athletes at ESS.
Basildon & Phoenix Long Course Easter Meet
The Basildon and Phoenix Long Course Easter Meet took place across the weekend of 4th-5th April, with Enfield Swim Squad represented as one of the largest-attending programmes at the meet.
A combination of Intermediate and Regional Squad athletes descended upon Basildon Sporting Village to achieve a number of Regional Qualifying and National Ranking swims to add to a significant haul of personal best times achieved.
Gold medallist Sam Pereira (14) saw highlights in the 100m Backstroke (1.06.58) and an exceptional 200 IM (2.18.68), supported by a number of Long Course personal best swims from Reece Nicholls in the 200 IM (2.21.99), 50m Backstroke (29.67) and impressive performances from Ryan Nicholls in the 100m Backstroke (1.05.68) and 200m Backstroke (2.18.50).
Josh Kirlew (15) performed exceptionally on Day 2 with best times in the 400 IM (4.58.48), the 200m Freestyle (2.03.94), the 50m Butterfly (28.15) and the 100m Butterfly (1.01.24). Joe Overton, Oskar Soulas, Lily Tiernan, Sam Cornish, Toby Pasmore, Natasha Welch, Alice Comerford, Ryan Nicholls, Grace Lennon, Chloe Howe, Reece Nicholls, Emma Montague, Daniel Turan and Maya Kirlew also collected medals for Enfield Swim Squad, demonstrating the superb strength in depth currently at the programme.
With many members of the ESS Regional Squad currently in the midst of a considerable training cycle, some very encouraging unrested performances have positioned those athletes very well for the upcoming London Region Championships taking place throughout May.
Congratulations to all participating members - a very successful meet for the programme and a very exciting time to be a part of Enfield Swim Squad!
ESS Represented at Sheffield Premier Meet
Enfield Swim Squad athletes took to Sheffield's Ponds Forge International Sports Centre, for the annual Sheffield Premier Meet on 28th and 29th March - a Level 1 Long Course meet with strict entry protocols that only allow for the very best athletes in Britain to participate.
With a participating contingent including World Record holder Ruta Meilutyte, double-Commonwealth Champion Ben Proud and international representation from the likes of Hamilton Aquatics (based in Dubai), Regional Squad members Maya Kirlew, Chloe Howe, Josh Kirlew, Emily Haimes, Joe Haimes, Oskar Soulas and Intermediate Squad member Megan Molloy represented ESS superbly.
Molloy started the meet exceptionally for Enfield Swim Squad, by winning her age group in a very strong field to post a 2.16.26 in the 200m Freestyle. This was quickly followed by a superb 50m Butterfly from Chloe Howe, posting a significant 3 second PB and swim under her Short-Course time to swim a 32.87. Howe then added to this by posting Personal Best times in the three further 50m events, whilst Molloy and Howe were joined by Maya Kirlew in the group achieving PB swims on the first day of competition. Kirlew swam to a 2.35.61 in the 200m Backstroke, whilst Joe Haimes achieved a 28.31 best time in the 50m Freestyle.
Emily Haimes added to the excellent haul of lifetime best swims, swimming sub-1.03 Long Course for the first time in the 100m Freestyle (1.02.94) and 1.07.84 in the 100m Butterfly.
Josh Kirlew closed in on his best-ever swims in the 100m Butterfly and 200m Freestyle, whilst all represented ESS professionally and in good spirits. The two-day meet marked a new level of Open-Meet competition for ESS members, with international athletes and a National-level pedigree surrounding them across two days in Sheffield.
LBRSC Regional Qualifier Open Meet
Great success for ESS at Redbridge this weekend (28/29 March): PBs were slashed, Regional QTs swum, and dozens of medals headed back to Enfield.
Amongst the innumerable highlights of the gala, Coach Rob has reported swimmers who stood out were Lily Carroll, who put together an amazing set of PBs over the weekend, Lily Tiernan, who clocked up some great regional QTs, Grace Lennon, who gave us the 100m and 50m free swims we always knew she was capable of, Caitlin McCoole, who swam a great 200m Fly (a real statement that she intends to be the next ESS Fly Queen!) and Dumitru Casapu, whose PBs were so big, that it was clear he must be tearing up the lanes during training in Vicki's Squad!
Well done to everyone who swam - you all did ESS proud this weekend!

London Schools Champs
The London School Swimming Association Championships took place on 15th March in a level 1 licensed meet at Crystal Palace. Given the current positioning within the training cycle, we had some outstanding performances at the LSSA Championships 2015, with personal best performances coming from all participating athletes. As our first meet in the long-course season, and the first to follow the opening of the National Qualifying Window introduced in 2015, there were very positive messages sent out by the programme with regards to its intentions for the remainder of the season and beyond.
Chloe Howe posted lifetime bests in every event raced, with a 1.13.93 in the 100 Butterfly pushing her up the British Rankings, whilst Lily Tiernan and Megan Molloy also posted personal bests in the Butterfly events amongst others. Maya Kirlew showed her strength in the Freestyle events with personal bests in the 100 and 400 Free, whilst Oskar Soulas raced sub-2.30 for the first time in the Long Course 200 Backstroke, with further LC personal best times in the 50, 100 and 200 Freestyle, and the 50 and 100 Backstroke.
The male 100m Freestyle saw long course best times from Josh Kirlew (56.92), Oskar Soulas (1.02.07), Reece Nicholls (56.73) and Sam Pereira (56.11), with Pereira adding a considerable personal best in the 400m Freestyle (4.22.49) to some strong ESS performances.

2015 Essex League Kicks Off in Basildon
Well done to swimmers who were selected to compete in the first round of the Essex League on Saturday, 7th March. All representatives of Enfield Swim Squad showed great sportsmanship, effort and unity to come away from Basildon Sporting Village with some fantastic individual performances and a great team spirit.
ESS had some exceptional relay performances and many notable personal best individual times to place well amongst strong opposition - so many encouraging swims showed the strength in depth of the programme clear to see, and followed up by some further impressive performances the following day at the Eric Penwill Trophy Gala.
A number of ESS athletes proved their dedication to the club by racing at both meets - notably Megan Farthing at Basildon on her birthday! - and helped place the club in a good position for further rounds.
Some impressive PB swims came from Tamir Smith (100m Backstroke), Courtney O'Connor (50m Butterfly), Ben Keelan (100m Butterfly), Nick Kahwati (100m Breaststroke) and Lola Pearce (100m Freestyle), amongst a host of other great individual personal best performances and team efforts.

County Relay Gold for 10/11 Girls and 14/15 Boys
Well done, ESS swimmers, for an awesome final weekend of Middlesex County Championships on 14th and 15th February at Southbury Road. The final tally of ESS medals from the 2015 Championships is impressive, as the medals for distance, sprint and relay events are added to those for the middle distance events swum in January.
We are especially proud of our relay teams, who did a fantastic job: our 10/11 girls Victoria Ciszewski, Honey Humphries, Jacquelyne Robinson and Ellisia Baxter emerged as double Gold medalists from the competition, winning both relays in their age group. Our 14/15 boys team of Oskar Soulas, Sam Pereira, Reece Nicholls and Neil Chowtie were also crowned county champions in their freestyle relay.

Barry Says Thank You
"Thank you all for all the cards, gifts and kind comments given to me. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time coaching with Edmonton Phoenix and more recently Enfield Swim Squad and have great memories to look back on, especially the last session on Friday morning.
I would like to make a special thank you to all the volunteers and helpers involved in running the clubs over the years I have been coaching; without you it just would not have been possible to run such a big organisation so successfully.
I wish ESS all the best for the future and hope the club continues to flourish and grow. Finally I send my best wishes and good luck to all the swimmers, coaches and your new Head Coach, Callum.

Emily Qualifies for British Champs
Well done to Elliot Bertram, Emily Haimes, Josh Kirlew, Ryan and Reece Nicholls and Sam Pereira, who all qualified for and competed in the ASA Zonal Meet South on 31st January and 2nd February. The meet saw sport's finest of the South of England compete at the Aquatics Centre in Stratford.
Star of the show was Emily Haimes, whose 50m Freestyle time qualified her to participate in the forthcoming British Swimming Championships in April. The Champs double up as the the trials for the British athlete selection for the 2015 World Swimming Championships and Emily will have the opportunity to compete alongside top ranked British swimmers. On Sunday, Emily successfully continued her campaign by making finals in the 100m Butterfly.
Ryan Nicholls, competing as a multi-classification athlete, came away from the meet with 3 Gold medals in the category (100 and 200 Back, 200 Free).
Well done to all six ESS athletes!

National Arena League Final Round
Well done to swimmers who were selected to compete in the final round of the National Arena Swimming League in Hatfield and at Southbury Road.
Our Premier Division Team in Hatfield missed out on an overall gala victory to Colchester by a single point. Great team spirit and an impressive array of 1st, 2nd and 3rd places meant that ESS was in the run with a realistic chance for a win at the gala. Top individual scorers earning full points for winning their races were Reece Nicholls (100 back), Josh Kirlew (100 fly), Emily Haimes (100 fly), Mia Hawkes (100 free) and Sam Pereira (100 free). Mia also made 3rd place in the 100 fly.
9 second places went to Jen Budden (200 IM), Megan Molloy (100 breast), Harry Jenner (100 fly), Maya Kirlew (100 back), Oskar Soulas (100 back and 100 free), Charlotte Newman (100 back), Emily Haimes (100 free) and Hannah Thomas (100 free).
Superb relay performances came from the 15/u boys freestyle relay, who outswam their nearest competitors by more than 4 seconds, and the Ladies Freestyle Cannon who dominated their race nearly all the way and finished over 2 seconds ahead of the 2nd placed team. Well done Josh, Reece, Beng Ren, Sam, Hannah, Charlotte, Jen, Jessie, Mia and Lena!
Second relay places went to 13/u girls for both the medley and freestyle relays (Maya, Megan, Emily, Emma), the 15/u boys medley relay (Reece, Daniel, Josh, Sam), as well as the Ladies Open medley relay (Lena, Charlotte, Jen, Hannah). The Open Men placed third in both the medley relay (Ryan, Sean, Harry, Toby) and the freestyle cannon (Harry, David, Elliot, Toby, Michael, Sean).
10-year-old Sam Cornish must be commended for his willingness to stand in at the 11th hour to make up numbers for the 13/u boys freestyle and medley relays, happy to compete with the "big boys". Luke Bransby did well taking on an additional individual swim in his own age group as a result of the situation.
Our second team fought a tough battle in Division 1 of the league at Southbury and achieved an honourable 6th place at their gala. Stars of the show were the 13/u girls (Chloe, Lily, Grace and Alice), whose freestyle relay achieved a first place finish in event 45. This had been preceded earlier during the evening by the team's only individual first place obtained by Chloe Howe with a fantastic 1:15.18 in the 100m Butterfly, a time which beat her closest competitor by well in excess of 3 seconds. The girls also shone during the remainder of their events, finishing second in their medley relay and obtaining further 2nd place finishes: Lily Tiernan and Grace Lennon swam their team to a great point score in the 100m Breaststroke and 100m Freestyle respectively, both beating six out of seven competitors in their events.
Matching Lily's and Grace's performance with further fantastic swims were young Nicole Tidiman (2nd 50 Breast) and one of the Club's most experienced backstrokers Ellen Blane (2nd 100 Back). Individual third place finishes were achieved by Ross McCarthy (200 IM), Joe Haimes (100 Free) and Chloe Welch (100 Breast). The boys 15/u freestyle relay (Neil, Deniz, Joe and Callum) also made third place. Well done to all the team for great team spirit and all round brilliant swimming! Further well done and a huge thank you to all volunteers on our fantastic hosting team at Southbury Road for an excellent job in running the gala.
London Region Winter Champs
Congratulations to swimmers who qualified and competed in the London Region Winter Championships at the London Aquatics Centre at the weekend of 6th and 7th December. ESS had a very successful meet, with swimmers taking huge chunks off their previous PBs, breaking Club records and achieving milestone swims.
Outstanding swims came from 13-year-old Emily Haimes who took the ESS short course open club record in the 100m Butterfly in a time of 1:06.65, as well as Sam Pereira and Elliot Bertram who followed the lead of Josh Kirlew from the previous competition, completing their 200m Freestyle swims in a time of under 2 minutes. Josh and Sam also had fantastic races in the 400m Freestyle, finishing 3rd and 4th in the 16/U category.
Another open club record went to young Megan Molloy, who completed her 800m Freestyle event in a time of 9:36.18. Michael Welch took a second of his previous best time in the 100m Freestyle, while Oskar Soulas achieved a personal milestone undercutting the 28-second mark on his 50m Freestyle and finishing as the fastest 13-year-old of the competition. Beng Ren Siew had a great swim in the same event, improving his PB from two weeks ago by a further 0.8 seconds. Still in the 50m Freestyle, Hannah Thomas also set a new PB on the second day of the Championships.
While it was great swimming and PBs allround for Reece Nicholls, Maya Kirlew improved her 2014 Nationals event of 100m Backstroke by over 1 second (2nd fastest 13-year-old). This had been preceded by a huge swim in the 200m Backstroke, where Maya improved her previous best time set at the recent ESS County Qualifier by as much as 6 seconds. Joe Haimes took a minute off his short course PB from a year ago in the 1500m Freestyle.
Day 2 of the competition also saw an exceptional achievement from Ryan Nicholls: Competing as a multi-classification athlete, Ryan swam an outstanding 200m Backstroke, breaking both the British and world records in the S14 category.
Special congratulations to our 16/U medal winners Reece Nicholls (100 back, Bronze), Josh Kirlew (400 free, Bronze) and Sam Pereira (200 free, Bronze).
Well done to all swimmers!
November Busiest Competition Month since Season Start
ESS swimmers had a busy November competing at Southbury Road. PBs and County times were achieved at both the LBESA 200/400 Borough Championships (15/16 November), as well as the ESS County Qualifier Open Meet on the following weekend. The month was rounded off nicely by 800/1500 Time Trials on 29th November, ensuring additional County QTs and ESS presence at the Middlesex distance weekend in February, as well the annual LBESA Masters competition the following day, in which a small yet successful team of ESS Masters competed.
Thank you to all who volunteered to help at the various galas and well done to all participating swimmers!
ESSA Secondary Team Nationals
Six current and ex-ESS Regional and Intermediate Squad members represented their respective schools at the English Schools Swimming Association National Relay Finals held at the LAC on Saturday, 22nd November. First to swim were Fiona Westcough and Mia Hawkes (St Albans High School for Girls) in the Senior Girls (school years 11-13) Freestyle relay. A solid lead off leg from Fiona and excellent anchor leg from Mia secured 13th place in a time of 1.56.69 in the semi finals narrowly missing out on a final place. Over 120 teams had entered the preliminary divisional rounds for this event.
Next it was the turn of Oskar Soulas, Ismail Mert, Josh Kirlew and Callum Dodds (Enfield Grammar School) who qualified in both the Intermediate Boys (school years 9&10) Medley and Freestyle Relays from an original field of over 140 teams. The boys were one of only a handful of state school teams to have made the finals, battling against top seeds Plymouth College, Millfield School and Kelly College and finishing 19th in the Medley relay (2:09.34) and 17th in the freestyle relay (1:53.94). Ex-Regional Squad member and EGS Alumni Harry Jenner returned home from University joining the team to coach the boys during the competition.
Congratulations to both teams!
DSE National Champion at ESS
Congratulations to Ryan Nicholls, who competed at the DSE National Championships in Manchester last weekend (22nd and 23rd November). Ryan's best event was the 100m Backstroke, in which he took Gold in a new personal best time of 1:02.57 - just outside the current British S14 Record! He further took gold in the 100m Butterfly in a new lifetime best of 1:04.04. Ryan collected four further medals, winning Silver in the 50m, 100m and 200m Freestyle, as well as the 200m Individual Medley.
Arena Round 2 2014
Well done to ESS swimmers who were selected and competed in round 2 of the National Arena Swimming League on Saturday, 8th November. Facing tough competition again, our teams battled to 6th and 7th places in their respective galas.
In Division 1, Grace Lennon (100 free) and Lily Tiernan (100 fly) both achieved the highest individual point score of the team by making 3rd places.
Top individual point scorers in the Premier Division were Mia Hawkes (1st 100 free, 3rd 100 fly), Reece Nicholls (2nd 100 back, 3rd 100 breast), Joe Overton (2nd 50 back), Josh Kirlew (2nd 100 fly), Emily Haimes (2nd 100 fly), Sam Pereira (2nd 100 free), Maya Kirlew (3rd 100 back), Charlotte Newman (3rd 100 back) and Oskar Soulas (3rd 100 free).
Highest scoring relay teams were the Boys 15/u (Josh, Reece, Beng Ren and Sam) and the Boys 13/u (Oskar, Ismail, Tamir, Omar) 4x50m Freestyle relays with 2nd and 3rd places respectively.
Congratulations to all!
The final rounds will take place on 13th December in Hatfield (Premier Division) and at Southbury (Division 1). ESS is required by the league to host this round at our home pool - we will need lots of help on and off poolside. If your child is selected to swim in this round and you are available to help, please contact Sandra.

LBESA 50/100 Borough Champs
95 young ESS swimmers competed in the LBESA 50/100 Borough Championships on 25th and 26th October. Some fantastic swims took place in the pool at Southbury, where nearly all swimmers set new PBS, many qualified for Middlesex County Champs and some even broke club records. Many of the youngest ESS swimmers improved their PB's set only 4 weeks ago at the LBESA Juveniles gala even further. When asked about her swimmers' achievements, Early Competitive Coach Bonnie commented, "Overall, I'm really pleased with all my swimmers, who achieved another 30 personal best times at this gala, so shortly after the Juveniles competition. A special mention must go to the Hasa brothers: Armend went up from my squad to Development last week and achieved two Gold medals in his breaststroke races. His brother Arden, who came up to Early Competitive Squad from the teaching house last week, achieved a 4th place in the 50m Freestyle and swam very well in his other events. This was his first ever gala!"
Nicole Tidiman also swam exceptionally well winning two Gold medals with big PB's and qualifying for Counties in the process. Outstanding swims in the Intermediate group came from Joe Overton, who swam well in all his events, as well as Lily Carroll and Jessie Mullee, who both improved their PBs by huge amounts. Well done to all swimmers who competed!
ESS Represented at Masters Nationals
Congratulations to ESS Masters Judy Prior and Claire Massey who both qualified for and competed in the British Gas ASA National Masters and Seniors Championships 2014 between 24th and 26th October at Ponds Forge in Sheffield. Judy competed in three events (400m and 1500m Freestyle, 100m IM), while Claire represented ESS in her strongest event, the 50m Backstroke. Well done to both!
ESSA Relays Prelim Rounds
Well done to current and ex-ESS members Dylan Parsons, Richard Farthing, Arun Dodds, Josiah Roberts-White, Oskar Soulas, Ismail Mert, Josh Kirlew, Callum Dodds, Sina Dehnadi, Charlie Briers, Richard Waller and Alex Waller, who successfully represented Enfield Grammar School in the preliminary divisional rounds of the English Schools Swimming Association National Relay Competition on Friday, 17th October in Watford. The highest place at the gala (4th) was achieved by the Boys Intermediate Freestyle Relay (school years 9/10, time: 1:51.65).
Jamie Parsons (St Columba's, St. Albans), as well as Fiona Westcough and Mia Hawkes (St Albans High) also took part. Fiona's and Mia's Senior Girls Freestyle Relay made second place at the gala (school years 11/12, time: 1:55.71)
Schools and swimmers are now sitting tight to find out whether any of their teams might have made Nationals to be held in November at the LAC.
Arena Round 1 2014 - A Great Start for ESS
Spectators in Eltham were able to witness a fantastic team effort by the ESS Division One team on Saturday evening, 12th October. A 7th place finish does not really tell the whole story: our swimmers competed well in every race and only small margins prevented us from finishing much higher. The best place finish went to Chloe Howe who was second in the 100m Butterfly, closely followed by Ellen Blane's excellent 100m backstroke, as well as Lola Pearce's 100m butterfly.
Great team spirit for the relay events helped our swimmers to some very good placings and relay split times for our youngest swimmers were excellent. A big thank you from ESS to Adam Demeter who made the trip to strengthen the Men's Squadron Relay.
The ESS Premier Division Team made a successful sixth place finish against expectations in the first round on Saturday evening, competing against top London Division clubs, including Chelsea & Westminster, Hoddesdon, teamipswich, Teddington, Colchester and Romford Town. The atmosphere at the Harlow pool was electric, with all teams well supported by spectators.
The gala was a top effort from all the team – congratulations to all swimmers! Well done to our top three individual finishers Reece Nicholls (1st 100 back, 2nd 100 breast), Sam Pereira (1st 100 free), Oskar Soulas (2nd 100 back, 2nd 100 free), Josh Kirlew (2nd 100 fly), Mia Hawkes (3rd 100 fly, 3rd 100 free), Maya Kirlew (3rd 100 back) and Emily Haimes (3rd 100 fly). Our top performing relay teams were the 15/u boys (Josh, Sam, Reece, Beng Ren, Daniel), who made second place in both relays, and the 13/u girls (Maya, Megan, Emily, Emma M), who banked valuable points for two third place finishes. Many thanks to Emma Tunstall, who found the best way to spend her Saturday evening was to support the ESS team by contributing a fabulous 50 free leg to the Ladies' Squadron, as well as Daniel Turan, who made a big effort to get to the pool in order to strengthen the 15/u boys' medley relay with his breaststroke.
Well done to all – roll on round 2!
More Speeding on Final Development Day
Well done to ESS swimmers who swam on the final day of the Middlesex Development Autumn Meet on 12th October. Yet again, swimmers exceeded the speed limits of the gala by hitting last season's county times: Sam Cornish, Luke Bransby, Eddie Cox, Omar Elkhouly, Freya Nice, Emma Montague, Jessie Mullee, Emily Haimes, Lily Tiernan, George Bullock, Justin Houpt, James Whiting, Millie Flannagan, Molly Leizer, Alice Comerford, Jamie Parsons, Joe Haimes, Rosie Whiting and Beng Ren Siew were all awarded speeding tickets. According to Coach Matt "Sunday's sessions were a big success, with PB after PB".
A named ESS top and a black pair of Nike shoes were left on poolside and have been picked up by our coaches. If they are yours, please get in touch.
Masters Triathlon Success
Congratulations to ESS Master and Triathlete Matt Molloy, who had some successful end-of-season races in September and October.
Representing Ireland, Matt kicked off with his participation in the ITU World Championships (Olympic distance 1.5k swim/40k bike/10k run) in Edmonton, Canada, on 1st September, where he made 4th place in his age group. Well done also to Master Caroline Coles, who raced the sprint distance (750m swim/20k bike/5k run) at the competition representing Great Britain.
On 7th September, this was followed by a half ironman distance race (1.9k swim/90k bike/21k run) at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Mont Tremblant, Quebec, Canada, on 7th September. Matt's diligent swim training with ESS paid off, as he emerged as the first competitor out of the water to get on his bike. Matt finished 7th overall in his age category.
The season culminated for Matt at the Ironman Barcelona on 5th October (3.8k swim/180k bike/42k run) with a third place podium finish in a time of 9:05.59. Ahead of the pros, Matt emerged first out of the water yet again, finished the bike in 5th and ran ahead into Bronze medal position. Although the successful race meant automatic qualification for the World Ironman Championships in 2015 for Matt, he has declined his invitation in order to focus on racing closer to home in 2015.
Crawley Opportunity Meet
Well done to ESS Swimmers who spent all or part of their weekend at the Lis Hartley Opportunity Meet in Crawley on 4th and 5th October.

Southbury Road saw some fantastic swimming from all ESS entrants at the Middlesex Development Meet on the weekend of 4th and 5th October. Every single ESS race at the gala was a sterling athletic effort, with just a handful of swims remaining above the PB threshold and the majority setting new personal best times. Some swimmers took as many as 20 seconds off their entry time!
ESS Coach Vicki commented: "The camaraderie of the swimmers was excellent. Probably the best bit for me was the attitude of the swimmers. They were not concerned with medals or speeding tickets (of which there were plenty) but with their PBs. This is something as coaches we try to make the swimmers understand and it was an absolute pleasure to hear the excitement of the swimmers over beating PBs often by significant amounts."
Speeding tickets were awarded to: Jean-Luc Van Mellaerts, Caitlin McCoole, Emma Montague, Lily Tiernan, George Lead, James Whiting, Nicole Tidiman, Alice Comerford, George Bullock, Jamie Parsons, Beng Ren Siew, Andrew Bartha, Ben Keelan, Courtney O'Connor, Grace Lennon, Megan Molloy.
Well done to all! We are looking forward to the second installment of the meet next Sunday.
LBESA Juveniles
Fab swimming last weekend from our youngest swimmers at the LBESA Juveniles meet, with an absolutely crazy amount of PBs swum! We have just had confirmation that the top boy spot is shared by Richard Farthing and Joe Overton, while Megan Molloy was top girl. Congratulations!
No one would have known that many swimmers were at their very first gala at the meet. Coaches have praised the kids' mature attitude to their races.
The atmosphere was very friendly and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Well done to all!
Please note that the Juveniles was not a licensed meet in 2014 and results will therefore not appear on ASA rankings and cannot be used for entry to County Championships.
Eric Eady Shield Remains at Home
22/09/14. A selection of ESS Swimmers kicked off the new season in style yesterday afternoon at our traditional Eric Eady Senior Gala. The gala follows the format of a National Arena League round and has always been an important 'warm-up' opportunity for swimmers and coaches alike. Fantastic racing could be seen this year again from both Enfield teams, with ESS youngsters swimming many early season PBs and winning races. The trophy remains at home for another year!
Congratulations to all who swam and thank you to visiting clubs Haringey, Potters Bar, Ware, Bethnal Green, Berkhamsted and Anaconda for their great sportsmanship, which helped make the gala so successful. We can't wait to see the teams race at Arena 2014!

With 17 year's indoor cycling experience, Kobat has created an event and a program utilizing his one-of-a-kind self-mastery system. Based on the hundred's of thousands of miles doing the "inner-road-
Talk about fun and inspiring, Kobat is the best friend anyone's self-esteem could ever have.
"Gary has been my inspiration and mentor for the past 10 years," said Jen Posen, longtime member of Kinetic Cycling. "He is so incredibly skilled, inspiring, and knowledgeable. When I work with Gary I feel like I am working with a scientist of the mind and body." Jen, 41, just had her second baby and has the figure of a world-class athlete. "Body by The Indoor Tour—Body by Gary," she laughs.
You may have tried Spinning© or other Indoor Cycling classes, but these 90-minute indoor bike "rides," are like none other; you will feel like a world-class athlete.
At Kinetic, each rider is connected to a power and wattage meter, an rpm gauge, a gear indicator, time clock, distance odometer in kilometers, and a heart rate monitor. Each rider's performance is recorded with this information displayed at any time. At the end of each ride, overall performance, power-to-weight ratios and other elite-type Tour de France rider information will be analyzed and shared, enabling the rider to feel a sense of accomplishment, empowered to lose weight, improve, or prepare for the next ride.
Participants, whose ages range from 18-68, will average up to 20 miles per hour, with females averaging 175 watts, and males 210 watts. In true LA fitness fashion, like his recent Indoor Tour in New York City, the riders will come to train, as their power to watt averages are expected to represent 80% of an actual rider on the Tour de France.
With the warm and inviting "Kinetic" environment, blended with the studio's world-class audio, visual, and training equipment, integrated with Kobat's energetic and enlightening client-connection and professional cycling experience, the ultimate mind-body-spirit-

Incredibly windy on summit ridge. Had to put goggles on to see, white-out conditions. Descent towards forestry was very steep. Couldn't find a path so eventually headed east Eastwards. Crossed stream and found the worlds boggiest path back through the woods to the quarry between N and S Ballahulish.

Partner: Bert. Start: 07:45. Parked at the school in West Laroch, Ballachulish. Walked south for 1km then turned to head not the ridge of Sgorr Bhan. Several scrambles to reach the top at 947m. Then onto the ridge to head up to Sgorr Dhearg before dropping to ~700m to bealach, then continued along the ridge to summit Sgorr Dhonuill, with a particularly dangerous scramble onto and over a snow cornice right at the summit. Very loose rock on approach to summit at Sgorr Dhonuill and loose scree on path up to Sgorr Bhan. Path on Sgor Bhan began after a large clearance on the ascent to the ridgeback. Weather was fabulous - bright with intermittent cloud, not touching the summits of these munros but other munros in the area. Snow underfoot, but avoidable except on the descent to the bealach from Sgorr Dhearg. Scrambles would have been very difficult in full winter condition. Walkout was through forest - dense growth that made walking and path finding very difficult, but thinned out eventually and found track. 5km walkout along forestry track. Better descent may have been back over Sgorr Dhearg and down the ridgeback that protrudes out into the forest. Arrived at car: 18:15.Michael.paparakis - 06/Apr/13

Corleggy Cheeses is recalling all batches of its raw milk cheeses due to the detection of verocytotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC) in two batches of its cow's milk cheese. The cheeses are supplied to some restaurants and retail shops. They are also sold directly at food markets. Consumers are advised not to eat the affected cheeses.
VTEC may cause severe bloody diarrhoea and abdominal cramps, although sometimes the infection causes non-bloody diarrhoea or no symptoms. In some groups, particularly children under 5 years of age and the elderly, the infection can also cause a complication called haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) in which the kidneys fail.
