❤️💛Meet our 2026/27 Somerset President💛❤️

Lynne Bartlett

"I'm delighted to introduce Lynne Bartlett of Keynsham Amateur Swimming Club as the Somerset ASA President for 2026/27. Lynne has been involved with swimming for more than 25 years, having answered the call for poolside helpers, which soon progressed to coaching qualifications, and weekends in Loughborough to attain her level 3. With Lynne and Thea Beament heading the coaching team in the noughties, the club saw a level of success which will be hard for us to repeat, feeding many swimmers into the performance programmes at the University of Bath, and City of Bristol, most notably Siobhan Marie O'Connor, and a decade in the Premier Division of the Western Arena League. On retiring from poolside, Lynne has become heavily involved in the Keynsham Committee and has been our chairperson for several years now, meeting the increasing demands of running a swimming club as we recover from a pool closure and the pandemic, and the usual challenges faced by our clubs. Currently Lynne has two grandchildren swimming with the club, which has rather scuppered the retirement from poolside, and she is back coaching our Preliminary Squad, with one of her sons, Tom, now coaching our Juniors. I'm delighted that these many years of service are being recognised with the presidency of Somerset ASA. "
