Sheffield City Open meet
Saturday 28th August saw 13 Mighty
Mansfield swimmers converge on Ponds forge in Sheffield
to take on some high quality swimmers in the Sheffield
city s c open meet. It was an early season dip to see
where our swimmers stood at the beginning of the season
and they did not disappoint, 34 of the swims were swum
faster than the published entry times, with 6 first
places, 3 second places and 5 third places. It was a
great start to the season and many pb's swum, it offered
a chance to swim at a great venue and we would encourage
others to consider giving it a go next year. Well done
to all who took part and especially some of our younger
swimmers entering Ponds Forge for the first time, after
witnessing the performance of all the kids they will
certainly be returning there to swim in the future. 
Notts ASA summer gala
Sunday the 18th July saw us take 20
swimmers to Beechdale for the Notts ASA Summer Gala,
once again a good day with 29 new pbs swam. The day
showed that the swimmers attitude and desire to be the
best is a credit to each and every one of them. The
finale of the day saw the fastest 200 i/m swimmers
taking part in the skins event, in the girls event Kerris
Palmer made the final and performed very well after a
tiring day. The boys event saw Mansfield swimmers take
up 4 of the 6 final places, Ben Canavan Taylor, Oliver
Hempsall, Ethan Tindall and Shaquille Hamilton who
eventually was the winner after beating Ollie in the
last swim. Once again well done to all the swimmers you
were a credit to the club.

Mary Davis Trophy Gala
Our annual Mary Davies trophy gala
was held at water meadows on sat 10 July. As always
it was very competitive with teams from Kimberley,
Leander, Bramcote, Eckington, Sutton and ourselves
taking part. Once again the team did well with 15
individual pb's recorded and 14 relay pb's. First places
on the night went to Shannon Scott, Emma Beeson, Ryan
Radford and Leah Clegg, there were 5 other events where
we gained 2nd places. The event was won by Bramcote
well done to them and we will make sure that next year
we win the trophy back.

Nova County Squad
Eight of our talented youngsters were able to trial for
the county squad in June and each of them performed
fantastically well on the day, doing both themselves,
the club and their parents very proud. Due to a
limited number of spaces available not all were accepted
but congratulations go to Ben Sharrocks, Ryan Radford,
Alice Tuska, Charlotte Baguley and Libby Coleman who
start nova in August, good luck and well done to you
all..

Derby and Notts league
After a few years in the wilderness we entered
the Derby and Notts League which is a league to give our
younger swimmers a chance to shine, shine they certainly
did. After the first two rounds we found ourselves
pitched in against very strong opposition in the final.
In that final the team acquitted themselves very well
and swam a total of 27 pbs, 12 of which were individual
and the other 15 were in the relays. Well done to
all the swimmers and keep up the hard work.

Development League
Again an opportunity for our young stars to
show the rest of Notts what a talented bunch they are.
This league is swum in 2 rounds and with 15 teams, all
the results are put together and the winners are
determined by a virtual gala. Once again our young
hopefuls excelled themselves by finishing 2nd behind
Kimberley and 74 pbs being posted in total. The
future does indeed look very bright and a big well done
to all who swam.

Chris Dale Success
Chris Dale who belongs to both Mansfield Swimming and
Mansfield Triathlon clubs won the European Triathlon age
group championships with a fantastic time in Athlone,
Ireland last weekend.
http://www.triathlon.org/results/results/2010_athlone_etu_triathlon_european_championships/4888/
He raced in miserable rainy conditions, with 70mph gusts
of wind....... I suspect he's now got his eye on World
Champs! The standard distance race was 1.5km open
water swim, 40km cycle, finishing with a 10 km run.
Well done Chris.

Many congratulations to the following swimmers who have
been named PB Trophy Winners 2009 Junior Boys -
Brendan O Keefe Senior Boys - Jordan Chadburn
Junior Girls - Kerris Palmer Senior Girls - Amelia
Taylor The achievements of these individuals in
2009 have all been outstanding in their own rights and
they are worthy winners of the PB trophies.

The
Don Osborne President’s Shield 2009
On Monday 1st Feb I had the very pleasurable
job of presenting The Don Osborne President’s Shield to
Paige Tindall.
Paige was in her early years a formidable
competitor and indeed was overall runner up in the
competitive County ASA 10 yrs BAGCATS. Even in the last
couple of years when injuries have frustrated her
progress as a swimmer she has always turned out to help
the club teams and without her contribution the club
teams would not have been as successful.
In addition to competing
Paige has also taken the time to assist on
poolside teaching young swimmers. The experiences of
being a competitive swimmer undoubtedly helped Paige in
her demonstrations to her eager pupils.
People who take the time to put back into the
sport some of what they have taken out are a heart
warming thing to see and it came as no surprise to me
when I consulted some of the people involved with the
club over the past year that this individual was the
most popular choice.
I hope when you see Paige over the next few days
you will take the opportunity to congratulate her.
The citation presented to Paige is set out below.

International Pool
Mansfield Swimming Club is proud to announce one of the
largest groups of swimmers ever to represent the club at
the Midland Short Course.
Many of the swimmers will compete under Nova Centurion
while a few will appear under the name of Mansfield
Swimming Club.
It is wonderful to have so many swimmers this year and
this shows both the progress the club has made and the
desire of swimmers to continue to compete at a high
level.
I also find it very encouraging for the future success
of the club to see the depth of talent across both boys
and girls and the versatility of the swimmers in number
of event in which they have gained qualification.
I am sure you will wish all the swimmers list below well

Christmas Party
This is now going to
be held on Friday 4th December 2009
Further details will
be published in due course

IMPORTANT NOTICE
FROM THE COACHING TEAM
Since our return from the summer recess, the numbers of
swimmers attending the later sessions have become
unmanageable and these numbers are unsustainable if
progress and safety are to be maintained.
For
swimmers to progress they need a structured programme
delivered to match their ability and subsequently
develop their skills.
They also need space to allow them the
opportunity to train and practice these skills to make
them more competent swimmers.
To
allow this to happen we are going to update the club
structure and set criteria for specific squads.
These squads will then have pool time allocated
to them.
Once this exercise is completed, quarterly updates will
be programmed into the sessions to provide swimmers with
further opportunities to advance.
We do apologise if this action causes
any inconvenience, however we do hope you see that this
stance has had to be taken in the best interests of the
swimmers, parents, coaches and the club as a whole.
By completing this exercise everyone will have a
better understanding of the requirements to move squads.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this
matter.

Summer Get-together
A number of us from the club are
going to Sherwood Pines on Sunday 23rd August from
Midday, obviously subject to the weather. So if anyone
is interested in joining us, then bring some sun cream,
bring own picnics, and lets all play some games, chill,
chat and generally have a good afternoon together.
Cheers Barry

STROKE
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
Part of
the role as coach is to evaluate the season and look at areas for
improvement. On the whole I believe the club has moved forward, and
this has been backed up with performances in the water. I do not
however wish us to become complacent. Over the course of recent
events I have observed a need to re-establish a focus on stroke
development and starts and turns. With this in mind, and because
technique is the cornerstone of swimming, I am going to introduce
specific training within these areas in the Sunday sessions. This
will commence immediately following the Summer break and will affect
lanes 2 - 5. Lane 1 will continue their own development programme and
will be used to introduce younger swimmers to the extended session
length. Lane 6 will utilise specificity to cater for the individual
needs of this group of swimmers.

Midlands 2009
Good
luck to the swimmers taking part in the age group
Midland Championships this weekend and next. Go with a
strategy in mind, enjoy the experience and swim fast
Best Wishes

New Coaches
Big
congratulations to MSC's newest coaches who all passed
their level 1 UKCC coaches qualification
Caroline
Radford
Gary Scott
Dave O'Keefe
Mark Gee
Michael Godson
Gaining qualifications adds validity and assists in
developing coaches, and the club can be proud in the
achievements and dedication of these individuals who
give their time voluntarily to take the club forward.

National Qualifier!
It
is with great pleasure that I can announce that Kerris
Palmer has joined our elite group of National
Qualifiers. Kerris achieved this feat at Sheffield this
weekend in the 200m Backstroke with a time of 2:35.13.
We are extremely proud of this achievement and I am
convinced that this is just the start for Kerris and
that more qualifying times will follow.
Barry

And in with the new .....
Today, I
have officially taken taken over the Mansfield swimming
club website and I wanted to take this opportunity to
say 'Hi!'. For those of you who don't know me; my
name is Sarah Armsby (the woman with the 2 broken legs
and far too much time to spare!). I am a fairly
recent addition to the club and am really pleased to be
given the opportunity to help out by running the
website.
The other
important reason for this is to say a massive 'Thank
you' to Julie who has spent the last 7 years building
this site from scratch. From the inside and out
let me assure you this has taken an astronomical amount
of time and effort ! I know Julie is looking
forward to moving on to pastures new (or at least a
green!) and will be missed by friends old and new.
last but
not least ...
Although
initially things will stay the same while I get my head
around everything; I will be looking to make changes in
the coming weeks and months and would like members to
give me their ideas - please use the 'email' post box on
the homepage to send your comments and ideas and I will
do my best to include as much as is feasible.
I look
forward to hearing from you xx

Counties 2009
What a fantastic last couple of months!
Over 50 swimmers with qualification times
entered the Counties this year and Mansfield enjoyed
some tremendous successes both individually and in the
final gala relays. Listed below are swimmers and teams
who achieved a top three position in their age group or
top ten Bagcat positions. However this only tells part
of the story of the 2009 counties. The massive number of
individual pbs and the general enthusiasm shown by
swimmers and supporters showed everyone what success
looks like….its blue and gold….and it’s MANSFIELD.
I make no apologises for the length of
this list as all swimmers deserve a mention

Other Mansfield Qualifiers who although not featured
above achieved many PBS and they also did the club proud
by showing the strength in depth that underpins our
club.
But what now?
Perhaps a little time to reflect on our success before
the next targets? No way!
Over the coming months Mansfield will be well
represented in the Midland Youth & BAGCAT Age Group
Championships and swimmers are already preparing for
this round of competition. The club is also actively
encouraging other swimmers to go out to open meets as
part of their continual development.
More news on the Midlands will follow later in the year.

British

it was the 200m individual medley where she also
narrowly missed the championships record. Kim also won a
silver medal in the 400m individual medley where she
recorded a new personal best by over four seconds

Speedo Round 3
Finals
Mansfield
have another good night at MacDonald's (courtesy
of Mr Jones our Treasurer).
Sorry that
should have been
MANSFIELD SWIM VERY WELL AND ARE
PROMOTED TO DIV 1 AGAIN
We
had a long 2 hour journey all the way to Droitwich
for the final round of this years National Swimming
League, the hard work in rounds 1 & 2 had been worth
it as we collected maximum league points, however on
paper it was looking to be a very close final with
only 2 points separating 1st place and 5th place in
the league table. The teams in the final were, (in
lane order)
1
Wyre Forest 25 pts
2
Phoenix Youth 27 pts
3
Ledbury 27 pts
4
Mansfield 27 pts
5
Stratford 25 pts
6
Droitwich 23 pts
with
12 points on offer for 1st place down to 2 points
for 6th any permutation was possible!
Knowing that we would be without 3 of our first
choice swimmers for the final it was going to be a
difficult task in putting together a team capable of
(a) making sure we got promotion and (b) win the
gala. Then at 1.30 on Saturday another swimmer rang
in ill. But as all team managers know that's all
part of the territory. What a good job we had 2
hours on the coach to speak to the kids and fill in
the gaps on the team sheets.
On
arrival at Droitwich we found it difficult to park
our coach as the top car park was full of cars and
the bottom car park was flooded with the over night
rain. Some of the kids would have preferred swimming
in the car park as it looked better than the
pool!!!! This was certainly not the best venue
to hold a Division 2 final. No electronic timing!
Very little space for the swimmers and their
belongings! Minimal spectator facilitators and
the pool was very warm indeed. During the warm up we
had a swimmer with a bleeding nose which the first-aiders
could not stop, this prevented him from swimming in
the first round of relays and lead to more
changes on the team sheet!!!!!!!!!
So
it was on to the swimming, Kim Colton got us off to
a good start by winning the first event and we had a
good round of relays, after 12 events we were in a 3
way tie with 48 points each, at the end of event 24
we were trailing by 3 points to Ledbury but had got
a 10 point lead on the next two clubs, Stratford and
Wyre Forest.
Despite some spirited swimming we were losing ground
on Ledbury, by event 36 we were training by 15
points but we were still managing to pull away from
our nearest 2 competitors, extending our lead to 13
points.
As
event 42 finished we only had the final 8 relays to
go and we were still 14 points behind Ledbury but
now only 8 points in front of Stratford. We
then put together an excellent run of results in the
last 6 relays winning 4 and finishing a 2nd and a
3rd, there was then an anxious wait to see if we had
secured enough points to seal promotion.
As
usual the announcers do it in reverse order,
Droitwich 110, Phoenix Youth 172, Stratford 177,
Wyre Forest 179, Mansfield 199, Ledbury 209. That
gave us 10 league points and with it Promotion,
Second on the Night and Second in the league. Not a
bad result at all out of 24 clubs.
On
the night our 13 year olds hauled in 61 points out
of a maximum possible of 72, which was very
impressive. Special thanks go to Katie Banks and
Phillipa Staff for their help in filling in vacant
swims and despite both being 13 year olds they
filled in at 15 years and Open. Also Amelia Taylor
who won 2 individual events and was part of 3
winning relay teams. We also had 21 PBs and 13 first
places, Oliver Hempsall had 3 PBs, Kerris Palmer had
2 and Jamie Dinning broke his 50m Free PB 3 times on
the night, this just shows how every one contributed
to a good team performance.
So
it was off to celebrate at our favourite
MacDonald's. You all
deserved every mouthful (webmaster Julie)
A
Big thank you to all those that have helped with
official duties throughout this campaign and to all
those swimmers that have taken part in the 3 galas
at Derby, Bromsgrove and finally Droitwich. Many
parents have also travelled long distances in
support of the team either on the bus or by car, so
a big thank you to them also. Please keep supporting
in 2009.
Grahame Hempsall
