Hi everyone, I'm Asma and I have the pleasure of being your Ladies captain this year. Having been at the club for almost 10 years, I have learnt so much and met so many new people that have inspired and motivated me. I hope to be able to give back to the club after all these years in leading this highly motivational atmosphere for all swimmers to reach their full potential and develop a love and passion for the sport like I did. Through this position I also want to attend galas to supervise on poolside to support and encourage you through the long weekends and rollercoaster of emotions that come with race days. I also aim to establish a close bond between swimmers, coaches and parents to keep morale high especially through these difficult times. I want everyone, above all, to enjoy themselves and step out of their comfort zones because trust me when I say, these will be the moments you look back on when you are older and smile because they happened.
I want to make your time at the club as enjoyable as possible, so please feel free to come talk to me or any of the captain team if you see us around or drop us an email if need be.
Hi! My name is Kai Cheng and I am your Captain for this year. I have been in this club for nearly eight years now and I have loved every second of being in it. It is my second family. I really do hope to inspire and encourage younger swimmers to fulfil their potential as swimmers and to fall in love with the sport like I have.
The main reason I wanted to be captain was knowing that I could have the opportunity to create wonderful memories and to make change. I always looked up to the captains when I was younger and I am so glad that I have the chance to give back to the club. I hope to help build a strong sense of camaraderie and sportsmanship within our club and to encourage swimmers to support each other.
Please don’t hesitate to give any suggestions and ask questions to the captain team. I wish everyone the best of luck and to have a fun time!
Hi, my name is Charlotte Tree. I am 16 years old and have
swam for the club for 7 years. My aim as vice-captain is to make sure everyone
has fun and loves swimming as much as I do. I am here to help anyone who needs
it, do not be scared to ask we’ve all probably done it before.
As a member of the club I have competed in Essex, east region, national open
water championships. I have also been apart of mini league teams, JSL and Arena
league teams. These are my favourite as I think Colchester had one of the best
team spirits in which everyone feels apart of.
I would love for more of our club to get involved in open water as it is something I really enjoy and find challenging, so if you have any questions about this don’t be afraid to ask.
Hi, my name is Ciara and i am one of your vice captains for this swimming year. I am 16 years old and have been swimming at Colchester since I was 9. By being at Colchester I have made friends for life and had some amazing memories. My aim is to give people the chance to make more amazing memories and to reach their full potential.
Since being at Colchester I have competed in county, regional and national competitions with the help of the amazing coaches who put in so much time and effort to help us improve. I have also competed in mini leagues and arena leagues, which are my favourite because of how fun everyone makes them.I hope you feel you can come to me if you need to talk about anything, I will always be here.
Hi, I’m Will
I learnt to competitively swim at this club around 8 years ago, and have felt apart of this amazingly strong family ever since. Despite spending time at another club, Colchester remained a swimming family and this truly shows how strong and caring Colchester SC are and reflects their passion for the sport. This why I am so proud to be this years Mens vice captain.
As vice captain I hope to make all swimmers feel at ease and reduce as much stress as I can. Over my years of swimming I have found it can be a frustrating and nerve racking sport, and I hope to help swimmers overcome this as much as I can so it does not cloud their enjoyment, as it can also be a very rewarding sport.If you have any issues or concerns feel free to ask me.
