New Performance Team – “Somerset Cheetas”

The CHEETAS performance squad is made up of Street & District and Chard & District Swimming Clubs. We officially begin working to together from August 23^rd 2010.

Zoe Baker is the head coach of both the Street and Chard club programmes and operates a “mirror programme” at both facilities. Zoe delivers the same programme and swim sessions at both clubs and provides the same opportunities for everyone. Adam Parfit is assistant coach and leads the age group development squad twice a week.

Our new club has a separate committee (50% Chard and 50% Street) and operates as a combined team at the National Arena League each year (October to December) along with combined training sessions operating at Millfield 50m Pool. Top up hours are available to swimmers using both clubs facilities.

CHEETAS performance swimmers are Regional and National level swimmers and swim under the CHEETAS squad at all these competitions, along with selected Level 1 meets. Swimmers will represent their home club the rest of the time.

“Be part of something special”

The new website will be coming soon to www.swimcheetas.co.uk with more details and PDF presentation.

Statement from the Head Coach:

“This is an exciting new venture for all of us and my aim over the next 3 years is to bring two local clubs together and operate at the very highest standards. I endeavor to provide a high quality programme and provide everyone appropriate opportunities to reach their full potential.

My plan is to inspire, motive, and educate my swimmers and coach’s on a daily basis, raising standards, setting realistic goals and putting in place exciting new challenges.
