Month: February 2020

The Club Championships continued this week with the 200 IM, 20 FS, 30 BK, 50 FS all being swum. Records were broken so watch this space for details!

SoTW this week was Laura Willemsen – she hardly ever misses a meet and is now the second fastest over 400m in the Club. Her battles with Sarah, Daphne and Dani keep the crowds coming. Well done Laura!

Also pictured are Kaiella Stubbs and Josephine Steele who picked up their award from the previous week.

The Battle On The Bay took place on Saturday afternoon, and AASC had another great turnout.

Caroline BB put in a gold medal performance while Laura, Daphne and Oskar achieved Bronze medals & Aaron won silver. Our young swimmers achieved plenty of PBs and most importantly, enjoyed the carnival event.

See you next week!

Week 15 saw a bright and sunny Saturday for the start of the Club Championships. It was great to see so many swimmers lining up for the 400m FS, 20m BR, 30m FS and 40m BR.

Sally Steele was the well-deserved SoTW, for her epic swims the previous week. She did 2 x 200ms, a 100 m butterfly and she made her way to the Championships for all bar one event. Well done Sally!!

The first week of Swim and Survive got underway, with our club volunteers taking the kids through their safety skills at various levels. Thanks to everyone for giving their time.

See you next week!

The day dawned cloudy but mostly dry and the deluge held off so we could all get our last qualifying swims in before the championship round starts next week.

A big shout out to the timekeepers who braved the rain and managed to keep the timesheets (mostly) dry.

Swimmers of the Week went to Kaiella Stubbs and Josephine Steele, both of whom got their second qualification of the season last week. Well done girls!

And it was a red letter day for the club as we were presented with new lane numbers for the timekeepers. A big thanks to Susan McGrath Champ for producing these little beauties…

See you next week!

Welcome back to a new year with AASC!

We’ve had three great weeks of swimming to welcome in the new year.

SoTW in Week 11 went to Dylan Bennett, who posted quite a few qualifications early in the season and is close to qualifying on a couple of strokes at the moment.  Congratulations Dylan!

Then Jeremy Glasscock got  SoTW for great participation and regularly posting lots of swims. Well done Jeremy!

Sad to report that our Vice President, Aaron Langman, and his kids Leo and Eli, won’t be returning regularly this year due to other sport commitments on Saturday morning. We’ll certainly miss the sheer speed and swimming talent of all three Langmans.

Next week is the last week to qualify for races in the Club Championship, and that and Swim and Survive start on Feb 15th. See you next week!
