An outstanding performance by a squad of 28 girls and 12 boys, secured the ‘Top Club’ Trophy for York City Baths Club, at the recent gala hosted by Rotherham Metro, Swimming Club, at Ponds Forge International Pool, Sheffield on Saturday 20th September 2014.

The Club was represented by a squad of 15 girls and 7 boys at the recent City of Bradford Swimming Club, End of Season A/B Meet, over the weekend of 19^th/20^th July 2014.

The club is delighted that 5 children gained qualifying times (QTs) for the North East Regional Championships (ASANER) and/or Winter Yorkshire Competition (WY) later on in the year. These include:

York City Baths Club was represented by 26 swimmers from its Development, County and Regional Training Squads, at the recent Kingston upon Hull Swimming Club End of Season Gala, over the weekend of 5th/6th July at Ennerdale Leisure Centre.

This was an ideal opportunity for youngsters to gain competitive experience, whilst the more experienced squad members attempted to gain Winter ASANER and Yorkshire qualifying times.

Lucy Nicholson came Joint First – a remarkable feat in itself for two swimmers to go the distance of 1500m in open water and still have nothing between them – in last weekend’s North East Regional Open Water Championships at Wykenham. YCBC team mate Katarina Bonner came a creditable 5th too. Lucy’s performance was all the better as she has now achieved the qualifying time for the National Open Water Championships to be swum later this month. Well done girls and good luck to Lucy in the National Open Water championships.

The club extends congratulations to Paris Grenier and Lucy Nicholson for achieving Age Group National Qualification Times in their 400m I.M. and Freestyle swims respectively at last weekend’s NERs. The best of luck in July!
