Thanks to Hosts and Supporters 

Thank you to Grantham Swimming Club for their generosity and support in making this meet possible. The support of local pools has been vital to the survival and continued success of our club. DSC would also like to thank Stamford Endowed Schools Memorial and Junior pools, Stanground Academy, and the Leisure SK groups pools for providing training time and stability to the club removing any uncertainty for the club following closure of our home pool. 

 

Over the years, Deepings Swimming Club has shown remarkable resilience, through the combined effects of the pandemic and the loss of our home pool. Despite challenging times, DSC looks forward to celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2026 with renewed stability and focus, providing our swimmers with the conditions they need to train, improve and compete in a sport they love.

Organisers, Officials and Volunteers 

My thanks to Sophie Beckerton and her team for taking on the organisation of the Rob Welbourn Meet again this year. The dedication, experience and meticulous planning have been essential in bringing RW’25 together — we simply could not have done this without them. 

 

To all officials working across the weekend: we are indebted to you for giving your time and expertise to ensure this meet runs smoothly. 

 

To parents, guardians and relatives: please enjoy the weekend, savour every race and thank you for the support you give to the swimmers. 

A special thank you to all volunteers; we simply couldn't function without your dedication and relentless support to the sport. 

 

Message to Competitors 

Finally to all our participants;  

Give each race your full focus.
