Pushers designed by Octopush players for Octopush players. This sight comes highly reccomended by many Octopush players. They don't just do pushers either.

Birthday Calendar

I have setup a little feature that displays a birthday calendar, you will never forget anyone's brithday again!

To set your birthday do the following:

  • Login
  • Go to My Account
  • Click on "Edit", Then personal information

Now your brithday will show up on the left hand side of the website. (Note this is only visible when you are logged in.)

Avanti Excel Full Foot Fins

The Avanti Excel Full Foot Fins are fairly good fins and are good value for money. Many people in the club have used and still use these fins, so if you are thinking about getting a pair I recommend these.

Training Sessions: Attendance & Kit

I don't want to moan, but I have been asked to post the following: Please ensure that you are not late to training sessions, we meet outside the pool in the car park and start picking teams at quater to the hour. (Session times can be found in the calendar.)

Also if you use club kit, it would be really appericiated if you could return it to the kit box as neatly as possible. If you use some of the new blue fins please put the foot shapers back in when you put them away.
