National Champs, 2010
Out of our 6 age-group swimmers competing at Nationals, only 2 of them had been there previously. One of the first timers picked up a Bronze medal in addition to 4 out of 5 finals.

Showing our young athletes the way forward.
For most of the year Jarvis follows Joe in the medal haul, but at Nationals his birthday falls just right to place him in the driving seat while Joe jumps up an age. A Bronze medal and plenty of final placings for Jarvis was the result. |

For the 2nd year running we've had a team at Nationals.
The 2010 quartet did us proud with a dominant performance in heat 1. Had they been in a later heat and among other potential finalists maybe they could have found that little bit extra to sneak in. 13th is still a good placing though. |

Our little spot behind the diving platforms.
It's unusual for more than a couple of our swimmers to be around on the same day for Nationals, but on this particular day there were 6! Interesting to note the feeder clubs represented too: Adwick Armthorpe South Axholme Spa x 2 Thorne and 2 former Rossington swimmers too. A very inclusive sample. |

We do like to wander round the poolside with the most distinctive shirt at Nationals and this year was no exception.
It was Coach Wallace's turn to practice his skills with Windows' Paint Brush for the 2010 design. There may well be a tee shirt design competition for 2011, so start thinking about your entries now! |

After finding him lying around in a ghastly yellow shirt, we thought about auctioning him off on ebay.
But then a CoLeeds coach came and sat near by, so we offered them Joe for free - he did match their shirts afterall. Alas, the yellow was even too pale for them to want him, so it looks like ebay is the way forward. |
