New Technology - Wireless training headsets
Following a successful bid for funding from The Ashfords Foundation, TSC has taken delivery of our Jukes wireless headsets. The headsets allow our coaches to communicate directly with their swimmers while they are still training in the water without the need for any shouting. Many thanks to the Ashfords Foundation for their generosity and support.

Club Mascot
Congratulations to all four finalists in the Design a Club Mascot competition. The quality of the entries was extremely high and it was a very difficult decision for the judges to choose the overall winner. In the end the verdict went to Cadie Y for her impressive (and slightly scary) Tiverton Tiger Shark. Who knows where the design will feature first?
