News Splash – June 2023

How’s your stroke?

Ever wondered what your swimming stroke looks like?

If you would like to be filmed swimming (above and underwater) and have your stroke analysed, then read on…

We have booked an extra hour at Moss Side on Tuesday 18 July (7-8pm) when we plan to film you swimming and to provide feedback on your technique.

Spaces are limited so if you are interested sign up here and let us know which stroke/strokes you would like to see yourself swimming.

The cost… Just our usual session fee - £5 (£3 concessions).

Club Kit

Do you fancy some fresh new swimwear or a nice hoodie to keep you warm after a swim? Are you heading off to a competition and want to represent Northern Wave in full glory? Have you been eyeing up Edwin’s shirt at training and been dying to get your hands on one? Well, you’re in luck because we’ll shortly be placing a group kit order with our supplier and that means that you can make the most of postage and packaging savings. The last date for this order will be Friday 26th June 2023.

Sizing

SHOALO manufactures our kit and if you haven’t had any of their products before you should note that their sizing is a little different. The official size chart can be found here and the general advice is that you should order a size larger than you might normally wear.

The standard range of swimwear covers sizes 18-40 but some products can be made larger on request, so do let us know if you want us to enquire on your behalf.

The poolside T-Shirts also run a little small, so it’s recommended that you order 1 or even 2 sizes larger than you might normally wear. The example provided is that if you normally wear a medium you might like a large for an athletic fit or an extra-large for a relaxed fit.

The hoodies and polo shirts generally run true to size so you should be fine ordering your normal size.

Returns

Everything is made to order so kit cannot be returned or refunded unless it’s faulty.

Ordering

Our kit is available year-round direct from our supplier, but unfortunately, small ad-hoc orders are subject to an admin fee of £25 and regular postage and packaging costs. To reduce these charges we’ll be placing a group order which will waive the admin fee and we should also qualify for free shipping.

Production time is 4 – 8 weeks from ordering so hopefully we should have our kit before Manchester Pride.

If you would like to place an order please email secretary@northernwave.org with details of the products that you want including the size and in the case of hoodies, the colour.

Please then transfer the amount that you owe to the Northern Wave bank account.
