It has been a while since the last edition of the Arnold Swimming Club newsletter but I hope that you have all had a nice summer. With the return of the Newsletter there are some changes that I have made. The newsletter will now be produce by seasons instead of bimonthly. I have made this change so that the newsletter will be easier to be produced but still full of all the information that was here before. If you have any suggestions for the news letter or would like to help out with future editions, then please visit the website and send me an e-mail.

As most of you know Sasha Matthews joined Arnold Swimming Club at a very young age and has devoted much of her life to swimming and pushing herself that little bit further each time. Along with training with Arnold Swimming Club she was selected to swim for Nottinghamshire's county squad (Nova Centurion). Since swimming for Nova Sasha has worked hard and pushed herself up the ranks within Nova and has been selected to swim for Great Britain. Sasha's most recent achievement is in the European Junior Championships in Antwerp claiming a Bronze Medal for Great Britain in the Women's 400m Freestyle. Sasha also won a GOLD medal for the GB team in the women's 4x200m Freestyle event.
Jacob took part in the DSE British short course championships on the 14th and 15th July and came away with 2 silver medals and 1 bronze medal along with two British short course titles, one in the 100m freestyle and one in the 200m butterfly. Both Tony and Michelle (Jacobs parents) would like to thank Rob, the Head Coach, Bill and the whole club for all there support leading up to the championships and I am sure there is more success to come for Jacob and Arnold Swimming Club.
Success for Hannah Meek at this years Nottingham Northern Open Meet as she claimed the award for top girl after claiming 1st places in ALL of her events. This is a great achievement for Hannah, along with a great image for Arnold Swimming Club. Congratulations Hannah.
After many years being involved in the club, our chairman, Colin Walton, has decided to take a back seat in the club and announce his resignation from this position. Colin will still be involved with the club and we will still see him on poolside helping out. We would like to thank all of the time and effort that Colin has devoted to the club in the past few years and wish him all the best for the future.

Since the last news letter Arnold Swimming Club has also had their Club Championships (Annual Galas). With an outstanding attendance and a good time had by all of our swimmers it wasn't surprising that 12 Club Records and 295 PB Times were set.
