We Won the Cup!
Adwick ASC won the inaugural Doncaster Cup by beating Armthorpe to the trophy on Saturday 24th November. Nobody does a better write up than Carol so head of to our Facebook page.
Home Champs
Not only do Adwick staff and helpers give their time for free during galas but, long after the blocks and lane ropes have been put away, the work continues. While Louise is entering every single swim time onto the ASA portal, Carol Shepheard writes reams of stuff of our Facebook page. Well worth a read.
Top Girl !
Congratulations to Grace Blair on winning top girl at the very competitive Sheffield & District Meet on 2nd Sept.
Grace swam brilliantly at Ponds Forge to come first of the 10 year old Girls.
Trio Selected For Swim England Programme
Three of our most talented swimmers; Lucie Savage, Olivia Phelan and Ella Calverley have been chosen to be part of the Swim England
County Pathway Programme for 2018.
The County Pathway Programme has been developed by the England Programmes Team. Swimmers have been selected as a result of their performances at the Yorkshire Swimming Championships in February 2018. 24 swimmers have been selected (12 Male & 12 Female) all of whom will be 11 years of age at the 31st December 2018. The programme will consist of three one day camps to be held at Ashville College, Green Lane, Harrogate, HG2 9JP, on the 15th April, 8th July & 16th September 2018.
For us, a relatively small town club, having three out of the 12 female swimmers hand picked for these prestigious training camps, is brilliant news.
2018 Team Kit
We have changed our kit suppliers and swimmers can now order direct. To view, go to The Club Shop and use the links OR go direct to the supplier’s site.
Not only do we believe that the 2018 kit represent better value but the fact that swimmers can order 1 at a time will make it easier for everyone at the club.
PLEASE NOTE :- WE HAVE ‘FOUND OUT’ THAT THE SIZE GUIDE IS ‘NOT QUITE RIGHT’ – PLEASE ORDER ONE SIZE LARGER OR YOU WILL END UP WITH A RATHER SNUG FIT.

Leesha on Board
Adwick Amateur Swimming Club member, Leesha Bentley, has been appointed to the Swim England Youth Advisory Panel.
Leesha is one of five young people from across England to be selected this year, and will act as an ambassador for her sport both in her local area, and across the region.
Set up in 2007 and formally called the National Youth Forum, the Youth Advisory Panel is made up of around 10-15 young people aged between 16-25 from all aquatic disciplines, and their feedback and discussions at the quarterly meetings feed directly into the Swim England Volunteer Engagement team.
16-year-old Leesha has been with Adwick ASC for eight years, training for 6 hours and week, swimming in competitive galas across the region and now coaching under 10s on a Friday evening.
Leesha said: “Being part of Swim England, which oversees swimming across the country and helps develop swimmers to compete at international level, is such an honour. I will be doing my best to ensure that Doncaster swimming clubs get their full attention.”
Swim England Sports Development Director George Wood said: “I would like to congratulate Leesha and the other four new members of the Youth Advisory Panel. Ensuring that there are young people engaged with our work is essential as they are the future of our sport at club and community level.
“Including young people in the decision making process helps keep us relevant and allows us to understand the needs of the young people involved in our sports.
“I am sure these new members of the Panel will have lots of great ideas, and the Swim England Team is looking forward to working with them.”
Youth Advisory Panel members are in post for two years, and the Swim England Volunteer Engagement Team uses their skills and expertise to help develop volunteer resources such as the Good Club Guides as well and influence change within the organisation.
Adwick ASC Chairman Mel Sugden added: “On behalf of Adwick I can say we as a club are proud of what Leesha has achieved I am sure she will do a good job and be an asset to Swim England.”
