Asthma Please make sure that coaches are aware if your child has Asthma and

make sure they bring their inhaler to each session. If the inhaler isn't kept with a poolside parent, it should be handed to

their coach (in a named bag) at the start of each session. If they don't have their inhaler they will not be allowed to swim.

Graccia  Gardner  Success  Story Graccia  was  part  of  the  Bristol  Central  Competitive  13/14  team  who  won  Gold  at  the  Nationals.  

She  also  took  her  duet  to  the  Nationals  and  was  awarded  4th  place  out  of  11  nearly  missing  bronze  position.  The  final  success  was  in  the  individual  figure  competition  where  Graccia  finished  9th  nationally  in  her  age  group.  

 The  figure  position  secured  Graccia  the  opportunity  to  try  out  for  The  England  Talent  Squad  for  2015.  

She  attended  a  trial  weekend  and  was  offered  a  place  in  the  2015  England  squad.  She  will  form  a  13  strong  squad  of  girls  ranging  from  13  to  15  years  old.  The  squad  will  represent  England  at  The  British  Championships  in  May,  followed  by  a  international  representation  in  competitions  in  Croatia  and  Italy.  

 Graccia  has  been  a  member  of  Calne  Alpha  4  synchro  since  the  age  of  5,  her  dream  has  always  been  to  swim  for  

England  and  she  delighted  to  of  achieved  it
