Details for our trip to Stocksbridge Pentaqua
19 Apr 2022
Stocksbridge Pentaqua - Saturday April 23rd 2022 @ Ponds Forge
- Coach for the Day: Martha Smith
- Team Marshals: Lee Scanlan, Becky Walmsley
- The team is going to be seated in the stands as the organisers want to space swimmers out and keep poolside clear.
- The swimmers should arrive at Ponds Forge with enough time prior to warm up to allow them to change. We will be meeting outside the main entrance at 7.40 to 7.45am prompt
- Girls Warm Up is 8.00am
- Boys Warm up is 8.25am
- The first race starts at 8.50am
- If swimmers are registered to take part but are not going to attend, or need to withdraw from the event please email [email protected] at the earliest opportunity. This is to allow us ample time to withdraw the swimmers.
- As you enter the doors to the arena swimmers will be seated to the left and Parents and spectators to the right.
- The cost of admission is £5 per person with under 9s free. Spectators are requested to have the correct fee where possible to avoid change swapping hands.
- The diving pool will be used as a warm up and warm down pool and will be accessible for this purpose. Swimmers mis-using the pool will lead to the pool being withdrawn for all swimmers, and we will remove offending swimmers from the competition. Misuse includes diving and swimming to the bottom as this is extremely dangerous.

Ribblesdale Pool in Clitheroe has become the latest organisation in the UK to achieve Swim England's Water Wellbeing standard.
The Water Wellbeing mark is aimed at transforming community swimming pools into places for health, wellbeing and rehabilitation. It recognises the organisation’s efforts in making the pools more accessible and inclusive for people with long-term health conditions.
Councillor Stuart Hirst, chairman of the council’s community services committee, said:
“It’s wonderful to see Ribblesdale Pool achieve this national award. It’s a testimony to the hard work of staff and the enthusiastic support of the pool’s users.

. - 09 Nov 2025Masterly Swimming
On the back of Andy’s record breaking feat at British Nationals a few weeks ago it was another great day for Dolphins masters yesterday.
Ruth Parker made the trip to Sheffield to compete at the South Yorks masters open meet, coming home with Silver in the 100IM & 50 Breast, and bronze in the 50 Fly, posting three new PBs in the process.
Not only that but subject to the qualifying times being released we believe the time of 40.6 Ruth posted in the 50 Breast should be enough to qualify for the 2026 National Champs.
Well Done Ruth
The Masters have been back in action today as Ruth will be joined by Caitlin Wilson, Martha Smith and Sam Griffiths who have all been selected to represent Lancashire at the inter counties championships at Manchester.
Looking forward to todays stories
