Well done to Amelie G, who was Swimmer of the Month in December. Amelie has shown grit and determination over the last few months, she’s been chasing down Cheshire County times and dedicated her focus to getting them on Sunday. The Coaches highly commended her goal setting and then her racing spirit - she ended up with 4 Cheshire times and 5 medals at the Trafford gala. Well done Amelie, keep up the good work!
The Coaches would also like to say a big well done to the other nominations: Rory M for making big improvements to his technique and his determination which resulted in his much wanted Cheshire County time in 100 Fly
Imogen W for her hard work in training, facing her fears of racing and diving and making massive improvements
Noah M for showing great technique, commitment and being a role model in training
Bo S for her brilliant attitude and no nonsense approach to getting the training ticked off! She’s had some great performances at Arena and made some big improvements.
Max O for his amazing goal keeping in handball during land training (thanks to Dan for that nomination!)
Well done everyone! |

Well done to Hannah B in Competition who is our Swimmer of the Month for November 2021.
It’s been a pleasure to watch Hannah develop as a swimmer over the last year.
Hannah shows grit and determination in training and pursues every set she is given with the same enthusiasm and hard work.
She loves a challenge and she embodies everything about #girlpower that I love!
Well done Hannah, keep up the brilliant work.
I’d also like to say a big well done to Sam M in Transition, Katy E in Transition and Jessica S in Development 2 who were all nominated by their Coaches for their positive contribution to squad life. Well done team, keep up the good work.

Snowfrills At Sheffield - November 2021
Another great event for ASC! Day 1 saw Michael G smashed out PBs in 5/5 events which is no mean feat with back to back swimming. Michael W battled through the snow to get there in time for an awesome 50m Freestyle PB, with Vincent, Lachie, Abbie & Max swimming great PB times plus a Gold for Max. We saw more PBs in the 50m Backstroke with both Max and Lachie taking Silver medals. Day 2 and we had another clean sweep of PBs, with Michael G swimming 8 PBs out of 8 swims and Michael W hitting the PBs hard too. Vincent put in some great swims, pushing Tom’s underwater skill training to the limit with a brave 200m IM. Lachie had a clean sweep of PBs too with a Silver in 100m Backstroke, and Max also had some fast swims plus a Gold in the 100m Backstroke. You have all done yourselves and the Club proud, what a great team! |
| ASC Winter Meet - Session 1 - November 2021 | Well done to everyone to took part in the first session of the ASC Winter meet, lots of great swims with special congratulations to Max O, Harvey B and James P who all set new Club Records in the 100m Breaststroke for their respective age groups. |
| Arena League, Round 1 - November 2021 |
Awesome work from our Arena team at Leigh last night! This was the first time racing outside of the Club for a lot of our swimmers and they absolutely smashed it!
A slightly different format with mixed relays made for some exciting races too.
Plenty of 1st and 2nd placings and no DQs, plus a great team spirit as always.
We missed out on the win by 1 point 158-157! Congrats to Ramsbottom for the win, we will be ready next time

Self-Isolation Reporting
If your swimmer needs to self-isolate, please let us know by completing our online form here.
The object of the Pointscore competition is for swimmers to compete against their own times on a regular basis under competition conditions. This will allow them to challenge for places in teams and prepare them for competition. They will be gaining experience of racing. Points are scored for any improvements gained and are aggregated for the purpose of making periodic and annual awards. The competition is open to all members of the club.
