Diss Otters New Kit!

Diss Otters Swimming Club are celebrating their 30th anniversary this year and to mark the fact the club have a new poolside kit.

The parents of the swimmers have been extremely supportive of the venture because although the club has part funded the new shirts, it has been the parents that have paid the majority of the cost.

The coaching team have also been supplied with new shirts, and the swimmers will get the opportunity to parade their new kit at several galas over the next few weeks.

The club was formed in 1987 as Waveney Otters which coincided with the old outdoor pool being covered. The name change to Diss Otters came in 2002 and from then until now the club has provided a base for up to 150 members aged seven to seventy plus.

More exciting events are in the pipeline to celebrate the 30 year milestone for later in the year.

Head coach Jamie Rush has also taken the opportunity to name new captains, with Matthew Tatum the new boys captain assisted by Joel Clarke and Matthew Munnings as vice catains, Lottie Gates is the new girls captain with Ottilie Miller and Lauren Taylor as vice captains.

A team of Diss Otters swimmers took part in a Sprint gala at Wymondham last Saturday hosted by Norwich Swan. Diss finished a creditable third with some great pbs and individual swims, just being overhauled for second by Dereham. A strong Norwich Swan team took the trophy.

Club Champs Presentation Evening 2017

It was standing room only at Roydon Village Hall on Friday night for the annual Diss Otters presentation evening.

Swimmers aged from seven up to masters level collected their medals and trophies which had been won at the club championships held in September.

There were awards which were won for Top Boy – Barney Clarke, Top Girl – Thea Irvine, Most Improved Boy – Oslo Chapman and Most Improved Girl – Lily Ellis.

Finally there was a new award this year which was the Chairmans Cup for Gallantry which was awarded to Ciaran Strike for his exemplary behaviour and politeness on poolside.

The gala season hits full stride at the end of the month as the Norfolk ASA County Championships take place at UEA Sportspark over two full weekends.  Hopefully the Otters taking part will come back to Diss with some great performances and times.
