Head Coach
As you are all probably aware Andy Harris has resigned as Head Coach at the club.
It may seem that we have had a high turnover of coaches in the last 18 months, but of course two of our coaches were “head hunted” and moved on to full time coaching positions at larger clubs.
We have four volunteer coaches who will continue to take the sessions, helped out by all of our other volunteers. I would like to thank them all for “stepping in to the breach” so that the sessions continue to run smoothly.
We are hoping to use coaches from outside the club to cover some of the senior squad sessions, so you may see some new faces on poolside.
No changes are planned to the sessions except that from September the Monday evening swimming will start at 6.00pm instead of 6.30pm, and we will stop swimming at
If you have any questions please speak to me or another committee member.

Congratulation to all the swimmers who took part in the Wiltshire Youth’s and BAGCATS. Every swimmer gained at least one PB if not more over the 3 weekends of competition. There were excellent performances from all the swimmers which echo the high standard and dedication of the BOA coaching staff and the continued emphasis on technique training. I must also thank the parents for supporting their swimmers and spending endless hours by the pool.
The hard work continues now in preparation for Regional Championships and Clevedon & Chard Open meet.
Thank you, to all involved in making this year’s Wiltshire BAGCATS a success for BOA.
Andy
Head Coach BOA
