Spencer members indulged in some frighteningly good fun as many of the team took part in a Halloween-themed Squad Session. It proved to be the perfect opportunity to welcome our new members and show them that we’re not such a scary bunch after all — and that our swim sessions can be devilishly different!
The evening’s programme was filled with purposefully designed relay events, all aimed at shaking up the usual lane orders and injecting a little mischief into the mix. Swimmers faced unusual tasks and quirky twists, many of which had never been encountered before. The result? Unpredictable races, plenty of laughter, and a great deal of friendly competition as teams were regularly shuffled to keep everyone on their toes.
Hosted at our Thursday night session in Tooting, the team enjoyed a mix of medley and freestyle events — but with a Halloween twist. Amidst the chaos and creativity, one of our newest members, Emma, stood out by captaining her team to a narrow victory in the final event of the evening, aptly named “The Tandem.” Despite a slower start, her team clawed back to clinch the win in style.
It was a spooktacular night full of camaraderie and cackles — the perfect way to unwind after a hard push into the Nationals. Spirits were high, the competition was friendly, and everyone left with smiles and sweets (and perhaps a few goosebumps).
Here’s to more sessions where training meets a touch of trick-or-treat! 🎃👻💦
