BTASC Swimmer of the Month is proudly sponsored by JPR Garden Projects

As fierce as a lion, yet smooth as a chinchilla
It's swimmer of the month time and it is Sakwilla!

He is Sakwilla AKA "The Falcon" receiving her award from Crabby and Corkscrew on poolside.

The Falcon is currently bridging up between Crossfell and Lowforce, and she’s doing an absolutely mega job! 💪 She’s improving all the time, showing fantastic determination and making some BFFs along the way. Who says you can’t make waves and friendships at the same time? 💙🏊‍♀️

Well done Sakwilla, the Gods of Swimming see your tenacity (and sass) and they are inspired by it.

We're all very proud of you.

We have made some instructional videos to help young swimmers coming into our club understand the many different starts, turns and finishes we have in swimming.

If we were to make another video or two, what should Spoony and Freebo cover?

I have heard it from a reliable source that BTASC is mint.

Miss Lara (AKA Mr. Duck) has won September swimmer of the month to kick off the new season!

Lara moved up to Lowforce earlier this year but did not find the switch the easiest of things. However, after the summer break she came back and was a completely different swimmer.

There was so much improvement that she made this SOTM choice an obvious one.

Lara always has a smile on her face no matter how hard the swimming is and she's a pleasure to have in the pool.

Well done Lara. The God's of Swimming look down from poolhalla with their stopwatches and clipboards and nod approvingly to each other at your progress.

What is the BTASC picture of the year so far?

❤️ For Hannan vibin' out after going sub 30 in his 50 free.
🤣 For Ryan coming out of the lake and hitting harder than Daniel Craig coming out of the sea.

I can't choose one. Phil Cram returning from the dead didn't even make the cut!!

What a fantastic end to the season! One that won't be forgotten anytime soon.

Rafferty you are swimmer of the month for having a great attitude and improving loads. Well done you!!

Our inter-house rounders competition was absolutely epic! Even though Pimples and Corkscrew argued about what colour the grass was with anyone close enough to hear.

The sky was filled with BTASC swimmers the next day as they were blasted into the air at the wake park.

Then awards night. I didn't think we'd ever, ever be able to pull off another surprise when it came to the promise but WE GOT YOU!!! Let that be a lesson to never, ever trust us. (Apart from with your children's safety). The coaches got stuck in a swimming sack, they journeyed across England to find the one man who could help them in their hour of need - Phil Cram.

🐝 Awards night itself was fantastic. Tears and laughter all around and that was just Kettle.
🐝 Phil Cram is the best actor.
🐝 Children wiped the floor with the parents in the sing off.
🐝 Hannan is the new BTASC champion.
🐝 Thomas is in the hall of fame.
🐝 Tom and Becky are promise dodgers.
🐝 One of the houses won the championship, but it has slipped my mind which one.
🐝 Pan is the best volunteer ever.
🐝 Cat Tang is whatsapp comment of the year - I'm just glad Bruce finally got off the rollercoaster.
🐝The new boyand Deepend was introduced to the world.
🐝 Hippo brought the house down with her swimming version of wonderwall.

😭😭😭😭😭
BTASC is just mint innit.

Have a great summer everyone x

This Sunday we have another legendary awards night at BTASC.

The HUB at Teesside Uni is the place to be because this year, at awards night, we are playing a brand-new live, interactive game show: Release The Coaches!

The coaches will be *safely* locked away in a room whilst Spoon hosts the show. Once we hit certain fundraising targets, the audience will receive treats for the mind and soul.

Once we hit the 3rd fundraising benchmark, the coaches are released. Once they are released, they will get punished... how much punishment? Well, that is up to you guys...

The coaches have *mostly* agreed to what is in store for them. This is not to be missed. Tickets bought at the door. Event starts at 5pm. All members past & present are welcome.

Will this be yet another awards night you won't see at any other sports club in the country? You betcha.

Can't. Wait.
