FAB Weekend at Swim Conwy Autumn Level 2 Meet! 🏊‍♂️

What a brilliant two days our swimmers had at the Swim Conwy Autumn Level 2 Meet in Llandudno Swimming Centre on 18th and 19th October 2025!

There were fantastic swims all round, with plenty of medals, lots of new PBs, and even a birthday celebration thrown in to make the weekend extra special.

The atmosphere was amazing – full of team spirit, cheers, and smiles from start to finish. Every swimmer gave their all and supported each other poolside, showing what being part of Team Hoylake is all about!

A big thank you to the coaches, parents, and volunteers who made the weekend such a success. We’re so proud of everyone who competed – roll on the next meet!

Another great team effort on Saturday for round 1 of this year’s Arena League…..we came a fantastic 6th out of 8 teams in this half of the draw 🤩🤩.

Once again the team all supported each other brilliantly and there was a great atmosphere on the coach! Again some swimmers stepped out of their comfort zone & swam in events they wouldn’t normally do……some doing their first 100m fly swims which were great 👍🏻! Massive thanks to you all 🤩🤩

Huge thanks also to all our volunteers on the day – TM’s, officials and TK all our supporters!

Final scores in our draw:
City of Liverpool 360
Northern Celts 290
Wrexham 236
Stretford 202
Altrincham 184
Hoylake 182
Garston 181

We had another successful Masters meet at the Palatine Leisure Centre on Saturday!

It was a Masters debut for Anna Underwood and Ru Birch. There were 200m free PB’s for Darren Jones and Anna Underwood. There was a 100m IM PB for George Cain and lots of medals across the age groups!

What an incredible start to the new season for Hoylake Swimming Club! The whole team showed off their hard work, determination, and team spirit.

We celebrated a fantastic number of PBs, achieved across all age groups, with many swimmers smashing their previous records.

Even more exciting, several of our athletes secured County Qualifying Times, putting them on the path to competing at the upcoming Cheshire County Championships in January 2026.

Hoylake Swimming Club delivered another fantastic performance at the Non-National Meet held on Sunday 20th July 2025 at Liverpool Aquatics Centre. Co-hosted with Bebington SC, the event brought together swimmers from across the the North West and North Wales for a full day of competitive racing and team spirit.

Our swimmers rose to the occasion, with many achieving impressive new personal bests (PBs) across all age groups. From first-time racers to seasoned competitors, the energy on poolside was electric, with teammates cheering each other on throughout the day. The team spirit was unmistakable – a true reflection of the dedication and camaraderie that defines Hoylake SC.

A huge well done and thank you goes out to everyone involved in organising and delivering such a smooth-running and enjoyable event. From volunteers and officials to coaches and parents, your efforts helped create a positive and professional atmosphere that all swimmers could thrive in.

Well done, Team Hoylake – we’re proud of you all!

Team Hoylake SC showing unstoppable team spirit at the Peninsula Gala! From cheering each other on to smashing new PBs, it was a brilliant afternoon! Well done all!

Congratulations to Jack Maher who achieved a PB in the 400IM, and Rubaidh Birch who completed the 50m breaststroke, and got PB’s in the 100m breaststroke and 200m breaststroke.

This was a long course swimming event, so a different experience (especially when swimming with national swimmers) but both rose to the challenge and did brilliantly… and fingers crossed they have qualified for next year already!!

Big congratulations to team Hoylake, with some huge PB’s! Especially as for some of you, it was your first experience of a 50m pool.

Well done to everyone who took part in this gala. There were PBs, lots of team spirit and most importantly, gala experience gained, with several swimmers competing for the first time.

Thank you to all the older swimmers and adults who helped to make it possible, as door admin, timekeepers and judges.

Congratulations all on some great swimming!
