Awards

We awarded a short list of four awards this year, in recognition that this year has had slightly less swimming than we would have liked.

Dave Mace Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Club: John Gordon (Posthumous), Club Founder

Irving Dixon Award for Freestyle Swimmer of the Year: Georgina Quayle, for 4 medals (3 individual, 1 team) at Nationals

Outstanding Performance of the year: Fran Baker, for 5 individual national medals including 3 golds.

Open Water Swimmer of the Year: Rachel O’Riordan for circumnavigating the Scilly Isles!

Congratulations again to all of our winners.

Inter Counties Champs 2021

Spencer swimmers were seen racing for four different County teams this Sunday (14 Nov) with Amanda Heath for Berkshire and South Bucks, Di Ford for Hampshire, Clive Benson for Sussex, Sue Lauder and Abba Newbery for Surrey. The racing was fast and furious, 50m only, and with most also racing at least 4 relays. Di Ford’s Hampshire took home the Cup.
