A lovely swim #93/100 3.7km with 2 fab swimmers. Cat (@usualobjections twinnie & fellow @CallyMasters swimmer) joined me after weeks of nagging, & was also joined by legendary “Smiley Katie”. Katie & I share a special bond of having swum the Channel on the same day 17 yrs ago! 🏊🏻♀️

ALT Swimmers having a well deserved post swim coffee outside a cafe on Cally Road. Lots of smiles.

Let’s see if we can reinstate our pool time - it’s not like we are asking much… We used to have 4 training sessions a week and now we only have two, AND they are shorter? We have 75 or so members desperate to swim and train together. #ForBetterOrForWorse? @Better_UK 🤨
Hi @ACswim Wonder if you can help..? @Better_UK #Islington has cut our #mastersswim sessions from 5.5 to 2.5 hours a week. We’ve written to @EmilyThornberry and are going to meet her next week. Can you help get us a meeting with someone who can help? #swimming #healthyliving

I've been a member of @CallyMasters for more than 20 years. Swimming keeps me fit, keeps me sane, gives me a community to be part of, and given me lifelong friends. Reducing our swimming pool time is disastrous.
Hi @Better_UK we have written to @EmilyThornberry about restoring our #Islington pool time - reduced by 55% We are looking forward to your response. #Masters #swimming provides life long sport for all ages @IslingtonTrib

@jameswilby is keen to see more people back in the water #OpenOurPools

@EmilyThornberry @jeremycorbyn and @JanetBurgess1 it's super important for Islington that Cally Pool opens. Always the runt of the litter of Islington's leisure offerings, given it's in the least affluent area of the borough. But many clubs use the facility including many kids.
@sallygoble we know you’re supporting the @Swim_England campaign to #OpenOurPools . Please give us a retweet to ask @EmilyThornberry @jeremycorbyn @JanetBurgess1 to make sure Cally Pool opens too @Better_UK
