National Arena Swimming League
The third round of the Arena League featured TSC in the Division 2 Final at Hutton Moor in Weston-Super-Mare. Up against the best of the teams from the previous two rounds TSC finished in a creditable 6th place. It was a great team effort by all the swimmers and helpers alike.
Plymouth Leander Winter Qualifier
A small team of TSC swimmers went to the Plymouth Life Centre for the Level 2 Winter Qualifier meet. There was tough competition but their efforts did not go unrewarded as a total of 25 medals were won and a phenomenal 45 personal best times were set.
Masters Swimming
Four TSC masters swimmers were selected to swim for the county at the National Inter-Counties competition. Rebecca, Graham, Sue and Lucy helped Devon to top place in the region and a fantastic 5th place overall nationally.

Thank you all of you who competed on the Sparkler and help make this such a successful event. Many thanks to all the helpers, officials and other volunteers without whom, the meet could not have been held.

ASA County Team Championships
Sam and Jack were selected to represent Devon in the national inter-county event at Ponds Forge in Sheffield. 36 county teams battled it out in two divisions with races going on in two pools at the same venue at the same time. Jack and Sam both came 6th in their individual events and also took part in the relays. Devon finished 3rd in Division 2 meaning promotion back to the 1st Division next year.
National Arena Swimming League
The first round of the Arena League took place on Oct 8th with TSC swimming at Horfield in Bristol. We had the dubious honour of hosting the event with all the extra responsibility that this brings but some brilliant swimming by our swimmers saw us finishing in third place. Many thanks go to all the Officials and volunteers who helped the event run smoothly.

Dylan has completed his swim 22 challenge!
Dylan completed the equivalent of swimming the English Channel in just under 11 hours. He took up the challenge for Diabetes UK because he has lived with Type 1 diabetes since he was 4 years old. A rough count of the pledges on sponsorship forms and his Just Giving page shows that he will have raised an enormous £1000 by doing the swim. A fantastic effort showing great determination!
