If you have any questions regarding EPASC membership fees for 2025, please message me or speak to myself, Gill or Elaine at club. Thanks to everyone for their support during 2024. We look forward to 2025 together at EPASC.

This year Ellesmere Port Swimming Club will be celebrating its 50th anniversary. Having been founded in 1968, before the EPIC was even built the club started with 300 members and has developed swimming in the town for nearly 50years.
To celebrate this event the club are holding as weekend of celebrations on 6th, 7th, 8th July 2018.
On 6th July we are holding a social event at the Groves Social Club, 7:30pm start, where past and current members can come together and share their swimming stories. At this event there will also be the club scrapbooks so swimmers can find themselves in years gone by. We will also be celebrating the birthday with a birthday cake and some light refreshments.
There will be an admission cost of £2 each for this event and tickets will be available from mid June and it would be advisable to purchase your ticket prior to the event, from the club desk on any club night,as the capacity of the venue is limited. TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE FROM THE CLUB DESK NOW!
On 7th July the club are hosting a BBQ at Eastham Ferry starting at 2pm. This event is open to all current and past members and there is no admission cost for the event. Families will need to provide their own BBQ and food but the Swimming Club will provide some fun wet and dry activities! Please bring along any outdoor games you may wish to share also.
On 8th July the Club will be hosting a swimming competition, during training time (6pm – 8pm)consisting of 25m (under 10), 50m (over 10) covering all swimming strokes. Swimmers will be split into 2 teams – ‘Whites’ and ‘Blues’ for relays events during the evening also. There is a cost of £5 per swimmer for the event, which includes a commemorative swimming hat. This event will run from 6pm – 8pm
If you are in touch with any former members please share our plans for the birthday weekend and please advise them that the social event is a ticket only event. The tickets will only be available from the club desk prior to the social evening.
We have a dedicated email address for this celebration weekend:

Manchester Metropolitan University are conducting a research project investigating the impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic and government implemented restrictions on the exercise habits of those usually engaged in recreational sport.
They are hoping to collect data from individuals that partake in numerous recreational sports across the country, from differing backgrounds and age groups (aged 18+), and would be very grateful if some of your clubs would be able to participate. There are no right or wrong answers; we are purely interested in how the social-distancing restrictions are impacting on exercise behaviours and all responses will be anonymised and kept confidential. This study has been approved by the Manchester Metropolitan Ethics Committee.
They hope that this research will help them to understand how people are coping in the current climate and provide insight as to how individuals may be encouraged to exercise in scenarios where access to sporting provisions is limited. Findings could also help inform policies for reintroduction of recreational sport.
The questionnaire should only take about 25 minutes to complete and can be accessed by clicking on the link below:

As a teacher or coach within a club, we need your help!
Ahead of Tokyo 2020, Swim England want to understand how being part of a club, across any discipline, helps contribute to an individual’s wellbeing.
To help with this research, two surveys have been created, one for those aged 16 and over and a separate survey for those under 16. We are encouraging all clubs members to complete the relevant survey to help us gain more understanding around the social value of being in a club. Please can you help to promote the survey links using the toolkit provided below or you can promote the Value of Clubs page on swimming.org, here. |

The findings will help the promotion of clubs during the Olympic and Paralympic Games and also help with the development of our club strategy for 2021-2025.
We hope these will be useful when attracting new members and investment into your clubs, as we are aware that this is crucial to help your club grow and become more sustainable.
The surveys closes on Sunday 22 March 2020.
Make sure you get involved as the club with the highest completion rate amongst their members will win £100 of Institute of Swimming vouchers. If you have any questions, please contact the Swim England Insight team. |
