A
squad of ten swimmers from UDASC brought home a fine haul of medals from the annual
Bridge
of Don April Showers
meet, held at Northfield Pool on Sunday.
Emily
Hazley (8) triumphed in three events, taking speeding tickets for
exceeding the gold medal cut-off time in both 25m freestyle and 25m
butterfly, along with gold in the 25m breaststroke.
Rory Bruce (8) was awarded a speeding ticket in the 25m
freestyle, as well as silver in the 25m backstroke.
Bronwyn Matthews (11) took a well-earned gold in the 50m
freestyle, with a new PB of 34.94 seconds.
Other medal winners were Thomas Mitchell (10), Luke Erni
(11),
and Merryn Thomson (8), who took silver in the 50m butterfly, bronze
in the 50m freestyle, and bronze in the 25m butterfly respectively.
The
squad’s “A” 4 x 50m freestyle relay team (Bronwyn Matthews,
Luke Erni, Stuart Masson, Emily Hazley) swam superbly to finish
fourth out of the 24 participating teams, while the “B” team (Thomas
Mitchell, Merryn Thomson, Madeleine Green and Rory
Bruce)
pulled out all the stops to outpace three other “A” teams and
finish third in their heat, taking 12 seconds off their previous
time.
The squad was completed by
Callum Thomson (10) and Lydia Newman (9)
who both took excellent PBs in their breaststroke swims.
SAS
League Match III
Well
done to the UDASC squad who put in a fantastic performance at
the 3rd match in the series on Saturday. A huge number of PBs
were achieved, and despite being closely beaten by Banchory
Beavers on this occasion (by only 18 points), UDASC are still in the
lead in the series, so the next match is going to be REALLY
exciting. Congratulations also to Emily Hazley, Merryn
Thomson, Alasdair Bruce and Rachel Masson who all
created new club records.
Club Sprint

The date for the Club

More Fundraising for YOUR
Club!!
As part of our
ongoing fund raising efforts the swim club has now moved into the
internet age. If you are a user of internet shopping you can
now raise money for the club but shopping via the internet portal www.buy.at/udasc
which has links to over 100 different retailers from M&S to John
Lewis through to Tesco and Asda plus lots more.
The club receives
money from the shopping link provider who is paid by the retailers
for promoting their products. This doesn't affect the price
you are charged or your normal buyer's rights.
This is a great way
for you to support the club while going about your normal
business. So the simple request is that when you next shop on
the internet please check the link www.buy.at/udasc to
find out if the retailer/product exists there - then simply place
your order.
Please pass on the
info to your friends, relatives and anyone else that you think would
be interested.
