Picnic in the park Past years - Once again the weather was on our side and we had a dry fine day in Boggart Hole Clough. Thanks to the swimmers and parents who came along to enjoy an afternoon of fun and games.
Great sportsmanship by both the swimmers and the adults taking part in all the games. Well done to you all!
After a mad few hours playing rounders, doing egg & spoon races, skipping and rugby ball relay races I think it is safe to say there will be a few exhausted bodies tonight - mine included :-)
We have had a good year as a club and it was great to finish for the summer doing some dry land activities.
Have a great summer and see you in September. I'm already looking forward to the 2019 picnic!

2015 Picnic in the park! Once again the weather came good for us. After a few games of rounders we broke for lunch. With the sun still shining we carried on the day with obstacle courses and relay races and not forgetting the final of a slightly different version of 'Pin the Tail on the Donkey'. The boys 'Stuck the Balloon on the Target Board' whilst the girls 'Stuck the Star on the Fairy Dress'. After an eventful day both swimmers and parents headed home for a well deserved rest! A great end to a great swimming year. See the recent photos:
Each year Harpurhey Swimming Club breaks for summer.
On the Saturday after the last session the coaches, swimmers and parents meet in Boggart Hole Clough for an afternoon of fresh air and fun!
Everyone is welcome to come along and all you need to do is bring your own picnic. This is the swimmers and coaches time to have some fun and interaction away from the pool.
We spend a couple of hours playing rounders and having some really silly but fun races. Obstacle courses, three legged race and of course the sack race. The parents get involved and everyone has a great day together. See the photos from 2014 below:
