City of Sunderland ASC |
Welcome to the City of Sunderland Amateur Swimming Club website.
We are based at the Sunderland Aquatic centre. Our mission is to be the Swimming Club of
choice for all communities in the Sunderland and surrounding area.
The Club aim to provide opportunities for Long Term Athlete Development
and encourages members to obtain qualifications in teaching and coaching,
attend other sport related courses, and for non-swimming members to
qualify as ASA Officials.
The Club is primarily a competitive club and members of all ages are
encouraged to participate in swimming or swimming related competitive
activities such as water polo, diving, triathlon and synchronized swimming.
The Club also recognise that swimming regularly is part of a healthy
lifestyle and we will provide opportunities for non-competitive, but coached
swimming sessions to be available. |

| CITY OF LEEDS MEET |
19 - 20 DECEMBER 2009 |
Head Coach Report
We had some good performances at the Leeds Christmas Cracker Meet which attracted swimmers from all over Great Britain which made the event a very strong meet.
Well done to our medal winners:
Jonny Carlisle (2nd 100 backstroke)
Kathryn Woolston-Thomas (3rd 100 Freestyle)
Skins
Congratulations to Jonny Carlisle (50 Backstroke) and Andy Cumberlidge (50 Freestyle) who made it through to the Skins knockout. Both gave it everything with Jonny progressing to round 4 and Andy progressing to round 6. Overall, we had some solid performances, but with plenty of room for improvement.
The important thing is to learn from every race and every swim meet – so that over time we all become more professional and focussed, which in turn helps us achieve sustainable success. That wraps up the swim meets for 2009. Whatever your current competition level, whether its Graded meets, N&D, NER, National or International, then be dedicated and make it your goal to achieve the next level.
All the very best for 2010.
Regards
Alastair Johnson
(Sunderland beacon Head Coach)
