Competition Season 2025 - 2026

Hello Everyone,

First, a massive thank you to all the incredible sponsors who supported Reese last season. Your kindness and confidence in her abilities made it possible for her to seize amazing opportunities and grow as an athlete.

Your generosity truly made a difference. I can’t emphasise enough how much last season’s success depended on your support. Without you, we would have had to turn down some events and be more cautious with race selections. Thanks to each of you, Reese was able to chase her goals fully, and for that, we are deeply grateful.

  • BGI UK – Focus On Swim Schools (FoSS) – A dedicated association offering essential services like insurance for swim teachers, clubs, and facilities. Learn more at www.focusonswim.org.

Reese says "I wouldn't be able to do what I love without my sponsors and I am grateful every day for them, I know I am very lucky and I am very proud to display and talk about my towels"

For those who don’t know me, I’m Claire Jones, and I’m proud to introduce my daughter, Reese Huckle.

Reese has been passionate about swimming since she first jumped into lessons at age 5, and she’s been competing with RTW Monson since she was eight. Her dedication and love for the sport have only deepened over the years.

Across the last four seasons, Reese has impressed us all by hitting key milestones at County, Regional, and National levels. This year, she proudly represented RTW Monson at the Arena League finals in Cardiff and clinched gold in the South East Open Water 3km for her age group (16).

Looking Ahead to an Exciting 2025/26 Season

We’re gearing up for a busy year packed with competitions, training camps, and new challenges. But these opportunities come with significant expenses — travel, lodging, coaching camps, and more. Based on last year’s costs, we anticipate the budget will surpass £6,700.

Upcoming Events Include:

  • September: Kent County Relays
  • October - Regional target gala
  • November: Winter Regionals in Winchester & Club Champs Distance Events
  • December: Club Champs (two weekends) and Winter Nationals
  • January: Last Chance Meet – Kent (TBC)
  • February: Tenerife Swim Camp (7 days of focused training)
  • February: Kent County Championships (2 days LAC)
  • March: Kent County Championships (2 days LAC) & National Qualifier (TBC)
  • March-April: Regional Qualifiers in High Wycombe
  • April: National Qualifiers
  • May: Last Chance Nationals Qualifier (TBC)
  • June: South East Open Water 5k
  • July-August: Summer Splash in St Johns & hopefully Nationals!

How You Can Help

Reese trains hard — around 17 hours weekly alongside her schoolwork. Her passion is undeniable, and we want to ensure financial hurdles don’t hold her back. That’s why we’re seeking support to fund this next chapter.

We’re inviting companies to sponsor Reese. In return, your logo and website will appear on a custom towel she uses at all competitions, providing poolside exposure for your brand.

We’ll also share photos and updates featuring Reese proudly displaying your towel, perfect for boosting your social media or website content.

Sponsorship Details:

Minimum Sponsorship: £500 for branded towel sponsorship for the full season

Donations: Every gift helps, big or small, to reach our goal

Should we surpass our target, additional funds will be saved for future competitions or to purchase essential racing suits, which can range from £260 to £400.
