If you haven’t already seen the Look North Programme from last night you may not be aware that Ian Watson has won the:

 

BBC ‘Unsung Hero’ Sport Award for Yorkshire, and will be going to the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards on Sunday as a VIP to find out if he has won the National Award for ‘Unsung Hero’!!

 

I am sure you will join me in congratulating Ian for this well-deserved Award and recognition for the time and effort he has put into developing the Synchro clubs and swimmers in the area for decades.

 

Fingers crossed for Sunday! If you haven’t seen the programme it is available to watch on BBC iplayer, you can also follow this Link to the Leeds City Council blog which features this news!

 

 

 

In addition to this, we have had four athletes from Leeds selected for England Talent Programmes 2014. Congratulations to

 

Rachel Lee & Alice Dewhirst who have a place on the Junior England squad and will be competing internationally in Croatia next year

Rebecca Richardson has a place on the Age Group England Squad and will be competing internationally in Croatia and Greece next year

Natalie Stephenson-Quayle has a place on the England Development Squad who will be learning a combination routine to swim internationally in 2015

 

Best wishes

 

Sarah

FW: Season plan 2014

 

Due to recent events, and Ians nomination for a National BBC Sport Award, which I am attending, unfortunately I will be unable to present on Sunday 15^th December.

 

Alternatively, I will hold the meeting prior to the Christmas display on Saturday 14^th December 12pm-12.30pm at Kippax Leisure Centre in the upstairs room to enable to majority of people to still access this.

 

Therefore the two planned meetings are on:

 

Wednesday 11^th December in the Dennison Suite, Aquatics Centre JCCS 5.45-6.15pm

 

Saturday 14^th December Kippax Leisure Centre upstairs room 12pm- 12.30pm ( training for the show starts at 1pm and this allows time for set up of stalls etc.)

 

 

Kind Regards

Congratulations to all involved for the brilliant Scottish Nationals results last weekend. The club scored a total of 11 medals with all swimmers returning from Glasgow with a medal, and many very close 4^th places- really positive results, improved from last year with more gold and silvers! Over 135 athletes competed across over 10 clubs. The competition was also a great opportunity to learn more about what we need to improve upon towards Nationals.

 

A huge thank you to all the volunteers who came to support the club as officials, team managers, chaperones and coaches- you all did a fantastic job as the competition ran very smoothly, and well done to all coaches and the athletes who have produced these results through their efforts at training sessions. One month to go until Nationals for that last push in training to make improvements. I thank all parents for your continued support in bringing your child to training sessions.
