Let's welcome Evie to the ranks of fantastic swimmers for our Swimmer of the Month award.
Evie joined the club earlier this year and has worked very hard to improve her technique in Crossfell. She succeeded so well that she was invited to the next squad up after only a few months and has settled in really well!
Well done Evie, it's been brilliant coaching you and the Gods of Swimming have changed their smart watches background to the picture of you winning your well-deserved award.

Heeeeeere's Brucey! And he's coming in for March's swimmer of the month award.
Bruce is mint. This is why he has won the award. Frequently, his squad, Lowforce, are required to stop swimming, stand up, and applaud Bruce for being mint. Bruce is mint. BTASC is mint.
The God's of Swimming are developing a new series of mints to sell called "Brucers". Would you like a Brucer? Yes please, I certainly would.
Well done Bruce! Keep being mint and keep on pushing!

February swimmer of the month comes in the shape of our little pocket rocket - Violet!
At a level 4 gala earlier this year it was Violet's first experience of a deep deeep *deeeeeeeeeeep* pool at tynemouth. It was a bit of a shock and Violet gave herself a little shock at the depth of the diving end. She did remarkably well to turn that frown upside down and with a lot of positivity sheanaged to compete in her two races that day!
She really did do fantastically well and we were really proud of her.
Well done Violet!
The God's of Swimming have placed a figure of you in a snow globe and placed it on the mantelpiece in poolhalla. They'll give it a shake every night before bed.

In 2022 we were very proud of Codrin Catana for qualifying for his first ever ND time in 200m backstroke. He was so pleased with himself and as a brand new club it signified a huge step in the right direction for us.
Today in 2026 we have TEN terrific tascers heading off to Sunderland over the next few weekends to compete for themselves, their team mates and for Borocuda. Well done you lot! We are extremely proud of you all.
